I stayed in one in the middle of nowhere Montana for like 60 bucks.

Looked kinda old and run down on the outside but the rooms were modern and super clean. It was kinda bizarre for a place in the middle of nowhere.

If you aren’t staying on-property at Disney a good option is renting a house or condo nearby. More expensive than the no-tell motel but often cheaper than a moderate hotel if you’re staying for an extended period of time.

Wow, surprised they labeled it that. I’ve learned you need to watch the star level but also make sure the customer reviews are above ~85%.

If it says 3.5 star but the reviews are only 60% positive, it’s a shithole with an inaccurate star rating.

In a small town, the star ratings get a lot more questionable. 3.5 stars in a normal city will be much higher quality than a motel.

Your family is passed out because they are not complaining just to complain.

There are far worse places to stay in the area than Seralago....

This guy pulls up at a hotel that is right next to an amusement park area called Fun Spot and expects it to be quiet.

It’s called Seralago Hotels and Suites, keep heading down 192 toward Kissimmee I’m sure your family would’ve been happier because they could hear you complain more about your racist mentality toward Hispanics.

You’re miserable because your family doesn’t care that you’re miserable, go to sleep.

Agree 100%, but all of these by their very nature have doors facing out. I've stayed at the Marriott vacation rentals near Sea World (6/10), the IHG Vaction rentals off of 192 near the toll road (7/10), and a condo in the Reunion resort (9/10). They were all worth it and so much better than a no-name motel with the poors.

Yep. Most motels are filled with road tripping old people and millennials who know how to use Google maps/Priceline. Or blue collar baws on a job.

As long as they are clean and remolded since the 90's I don't mind.

The same debased shenanigans happen in all hotels/motels regardless of the price. You are just as likely to sleep or step in someone's DNA at a Fairfield as a Chateau de Patel.

Same here, there seems to be a cottage industry underway rehabbing old motor courts in parts of the country and we have stayed in a few ones I would certianly return to.

Used to a lot in my youth traveling around for baseball/softball tournaments. Now I don't unless I'm by myself. If I have the family we will stay in a hotel, but if I'm solo I don't mind and it's worth saving the money.

I like old motels on Route 66. I stayed at this one a couple years ago in New Mexico

Guess you never been on a hunting or camping trip in the middle of nowhere. Nothing better than being worn out and being able to pull up straight to your door.. nothing like spending a night in cold A/C with a hot shower when you haven’t had one in days.

This is how Michelin stars are awarded and has zero to do with reviews

Hispanics aren't a race**

I like Hispanics

I don't like anyone standing in a large group outside my window.
I. Saw Mexican car plates, that's why I called them Mexican.

Of course there are worse places, duh.

Lastly suck my balls lurker.




(**The United States Census Bureau uses the ethnonyms "Hispanic or Latino" to refer to "a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race" and states that Hispanics or Latinos can be of any race, any ancestry, any ethnicity.)
