Hotel The Lodge at Pensacola (Pensacola, USA)

You will probably be fine if you are only looking for the basics like a roof over your head and a place to sleep for a night or two. The air conditioning works well and the beds are comfortable.

There's plenty of hot water in the bathroom, so an early morning shower will probably not be an issue.

The staff are reasonably pleasant and do their job willingly. They are friendly and seem to handle issues quite well by offering refunds and such.

The motel is off a back alley and looks similar to an abandoned building ready to be torn down! It's a scary sight and makes you hesitant to venture further.

While staying at the motel you may find the pool out of order, no phone, no TV, no extras like shampoo or shower gel, and no bin for trash. There's no microwave or fridge either, unless you request them.

After entering your room, you might decide that you're better off sleeping in your car! Dirty towels, sticky floors, bedraggled linens, and a host of other discourtesies will greet you. The hallway is one of the worst offenders. The smell is offensive and if you book a non-smoking room, it doesn't matter. Musty smells and the whiff of stale cigarette smoke linger inside the room.
