It was nice there was a diner within walking distance, food ok but place not real clean. As for the Carriage Inn there were alot of construction workers staying there and was very noisy. The comfortors had holes in them , the bedding and linnen had stains on them and the rooms smelled. It was OK for a place to get a hot shower and sleep for the night but would not stay there for a week.

The beds are very uncomfortable, they had 2 SMALL pillows on each bed, blankets looked dirty and had holes. There were no big towels or complimentary soap in the bathroom. Even for the price I paid it was a bad experience.

Fair Steinhatchee alternative-GOOD FOOD next door

Second stay here. Old "mom & pop" '50s motel. Close to Steinhatchee when scallop season fills up all places there. Room paint good, bedding adequate, good AC, good cable TV, inoperative light fixture that is REVERSE POLARITY (shocking), pool closed (green algae) with no plans to fix. A year ago, tried to make a reservation and they didn't answer the phone. Thought they had closed. Found out that they and one month full booking and instead of posting "no vacancy" they just didn't answer the phone. Not a way to run a business. Best part - the Taste of Dixie Diner next door (separate business) has a great homestyle buffet. Their Friday night seafood buffet is outstanding.

After the first night, they took the pillows from the room along with the washcloths and towels and did not replace them. We went to the front desk and were told the pillows belonged to the room next door. We had to repeatedly ask them for pillows. They refused to replace the washcloths so we finally went to a local Dollar General and purchased some. The staff was less than concerned. The only good thing about the room was the AC.

Barely acceptable

The motel is ok if it’s the only place you can stay. If you have a choice, stay somewhere else. Our stay was filled with killing bugs in our rooms, with dirty (stained) sheets, and the a/c units didn’t cool the room very well.

Sketchy Place

This place is so outdated. It was horrible. Towels and bedding were not clean or washed properly. Hair and make-up on pillow cases. Room smelled like smoke. Had to be moved to another room. Carpet was old and sticky. Only there for one night. Also people roaming around looked like drug addicts. Very sketchy. Would stay clear of this place.

Not sure why the health department hasn't closed this place. Pool was black. Two beds in my room. One had a fitted aheet as the top sheet. Two of the three lamps had no shade. Towels looked tan when they were supposed to be white. Deadbolt had something in the frame to prevent it from working. Ice bucket looked like someone had used it to cook in with food remaining. 82.00???? If it had been refundable, I'd have slept in my truck.

WORST HOTEL EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. im a traveler for work, i’ve been all over country but this Carriage Inn in Cross City florida was the most disgusting place i’ve ever stepped foot into!!!! where to start.. firstly pulling up i was immediately uncomfortable with the types of people that were hanging around. shirtless men, groups of worker men. and just sketch looking people. but bc i hadn’t slept in 5 days because i have been traveling all over state i decided to give it a try and not judge book by cover. boy was i wrong i should’ve trusted my gut and drove right off but i already paid 104$ for room. old woman at the counter was nice but didn’t know how to check people in. after i got my room key i made my way up there excusing myself between all these men standing around the stair case. walked in and the first thing i noticed was a german roach on the wall above tv. decided to do some more looking around to see what other gross things were in here. 15 burn holes in the sheets between both beds. body fluid stains on bathroom mirror. mold and hair in shower. door hasn’t been been wiped down since the place opened a hundred years ago. microwave was caked with old food. room was hot and muggy. toilet seat had tape on it!!!! I wasn’t at this property for more than five minutes between check-in and going to the office to demand a refund which they told me they couldn’t give me and that I had to go through Expedia for it. the list goes on but don’t waste ur money!!! nasty service
