We traveled to Okeechobee this weekend for a wedding and found Flamingo Motel online. It said it had recently been remodeled so we booked our room online and hoped for the best.
The lobby was clean and the women behind the desk were friendly. The cleanliness stopped there. Our room was absolutely disgusting. Huge stains and rips in the carpet, torn plastic shower curtain, no remote for the outdated TV, holes in the bathroom walls had been patched but were in desperate need of paint, the floor in the bathroom was so sticky I didn't take my shoes off, a dead bug was in the toilet, no iron or ironing board, I could go on and on. If we didn't only have an hour to get ready and leave for the wedding, I would have left immediately and demanded a refund.
I will never stay at this hotel again and neither should you. Spend the extra $40 and stay at the Hampton Inn. Then you won't have to sleep fully clothed in fear of catching bed bugs. read more
