CamilleClean budget hotel
I booked this very budget hotel as a stopover on a longer road trip knowing I didnt want to spend a lot of money. The main issue I had with the property was that the room was not kept air conditioned until I checked in,…
AlanThe room had a funny smell when we first arrived, but we just dropped our bags, when returning that night about 11 PM and finding dead cockroaches in the room I realize the smell was from bug spray. My son refused to…
RaziThe property is very old and outdated with a smell like mold or water leak, was not able to sleep all night due to the smell an old blankets
WayneProperty is updated but still a bit worn. Easy fixes - the ratty chair at the table - should be addressed. Safe, clean, inexpensive spot.
DamianA good reasonable hotel for the stay.

Questions about Gator Town Inn
What time is check-in and check-out at Gator Town Inn?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Gator Town Inn allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Gator Town Inn?
Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.
Does Gator Town Inn have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Gator Town Inn have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Gator Town Inn?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Gator Town Inn?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
