I wanted to experience SOTB after having passed it dozens of times over the last 40 years. Decided to stay overnight to get the full effect. Yes, the place is OLD, and tacky, but you already know that. And if you can appreciate the neon retro-cool of classic roadside America, it definitely delivers. It's Las Vegas meets Route 66. But...

Not a clean or comfortable place to stay after driving all day. Watched the cleaning crew attempt to clean the rooms, they dont even vacuum the rugs, they just use a broom to sweep the carpets. Dirty urine stains around the toilet, hard beds, smelly blankets and sheets. soap stains on the 70's style tub surrounds. If staying for more... More

This place is close to I-95, halfway between Florida and New York. Needs updating though. Must have been really something back in it's glory days. Pool, tennis, basketball courts, etc. It's inexpensive to stay here. I wouldn't make it my destination though. Staff is very freindly. More

Ok, so we were never going to stay there but then we had such a terrible experience at a Days Inn just after the Hamer exit, that on our way back North we decided to give it a shot. With our AAA discount, the rental cost us $55.00 for the night and then we were refunded $5.00 the next morning... More

I saw the photos on the website and took a chance that it changed. Only the photos did. The rooms have the air off, smells, and cheap ugly rooms. I asked for the bridal suite since they said that have a suite. It was terrible. If you feel you must go, look at the rooms first before paying. More
