Great for the price....but...

For the price, the room was great for a quick stay. I would have given it a 5star but there were some guest who were being rowdy and making alot of noise till 2am and i was surprised management did not ask them to stop after 10pm or so.

Great place to stay for the price. Bed was super comfy but we did go purchase a comforter from dollar general bc the ones they have are pretty old and not great but the sheets were very clean and we slept great. Mary at the front desk was so sweet and gave amazing customer service. The rooms could use a deep clean but overall I would stay here again for the price and hospitality.

We have stayed here many times in the past. The other times the rooms have been clean. Not this time. Our room looked like it’s not been cleaned in awhile. Our heater did not work well. Our window blew air in. We saw 3 very LARGE roaches. The refrigerator did not work well. The maintenance guy was very friendly and nice.

The room was great for the price. Everything was clean and eye appealing. Plenty of space for 4 people to sleep in room. A/C kept room nice and cold. I didn’t like that I couldn’t get a cup of coffee on a Saturday morning, and the shower drain smelt like rotten eggs, but otherwise a great place to stay

Do not give these money ur money!!!

Checked in, reserved 2 rooms for 3 nights. Noticed A.C. in one room was not working properly, had it checked by staff 5 times with no relief. Spent first night in room with broken a.c. . When back to office on second morning to see what can be done, only to be told that they were booked up, had no more rooms.. Then tone changed talking to Kim. She didn't care what i had to say, and how upset i was, told me that i could put everyone in one room, each room has 1 bed. And foldout couch . . Or i could take a fan for room with no a.c. Finally i asked for refund on room we are not using so we could find another room somewhere else. So kim gave me a 2 night refund After my credit card went thru for rooms, then kim went in a canceled refund without telling me why or communicating in any way... These people are giving Port A a bad name They do not care if customers are happy, them seem like at check-in, but if you have an issue... they become vicious... If you are allergic to mold do not stay here, showers are full of mold . Pass this place up.. spend ur money elsewhere.. Never will i stay here again and will tell everyone i know not to either.

The layout of the property is wonderful. Very easy parking and a super nice green open space in the middle. Along with a very enjoyable pool and jacuzzi. Well maintained property, near a bird sanctuary, also. Many birds flying overhead. It adds to the ambiance The room space is a little cramped, but in good shape. And a superb air conditioning unit, which is well appreciated. The staff is friendly and responsive.

Stayed here before

Ive stayed here before with family but that that was about 10 years ago and nothing has changed for the better here. If you are looking for just a stay and not expecting much then this is your place. Our TV was not working and when maintenance came they could not get it working so we got upgraded to another room. The staff is friendly and will make sure you have what you need and they gave us plenty of towels. Location is convient to places in the area that i usually visit so that was a plus for me

An older, family-owned property that's been fixed up. Small, tight bathroom but clean. Bed was clean and comfortable. TV had lots of channels including nearly all the sports channels (ESPN family, SEC, ACC, etc.) A good value.

Always a wonderful time staying here. This is our go to spot every trip. The staff is so kind and polite. We never have any problems. You can lounge right outside your door and meet your neighbors. They got a park for kids with grills outside too. 10/10 recommend.
