The Pennwood Motor Lodge is a Great place to stay. Fantastic location, huge swimming pool, large pavilion to grill out under. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Kim and Katrina always make sure that we enjoy ourselves while we are there. The rooms might not be the fanciest but they are always clean and have everything that you need. There is also plenty of parking space if you want to bring a boat. The hotel is pet friend with plenty of room for you to walk your dog which is a huge added bonus. We visit there every chance we get. It truly is a great price to stay and you definitely can’t beat the price!
This place is a blast from the past of the old motor lodges! The rooms have been redone & ours was immaculate - as clean as could be. Some fixtures were older but everything worked without a problem & the bed was very comfortable. We would not hesitate to stay again. If you’re looking for 5 star level, this isn’t for you. But if you can appreciate history & charm, you’ll love it! Photos are of the lodge in its heyday that were on the wall in our room.
These people are such liars. They tell you that their rooms are sold out of the cheapest rooms so that you have to pick a more expensive room and they aren't there 90% of the time. No one stays there. If you have a service dog, they charge you $50. Very old and rude.
A surprise charge of $50 for a small pet. No charge last year and no notice on website or booking. After paying in full days in advance I arrived to find this outragious charge that you have no recourse but to pay them or lose your room and all payments. Red Roof Inn and Motel6 (often better quality) charge nothing and welcome pets. Never again to the deception/trickery at Pennwood.
Love this place it’s quaint and very relaxing. A guy said you couldn’t smoke here but there is a designated area under cover with picnic tables grills horse shoes. a sink and chairs.. Such a nice breeze. The rooms are clean the lady and Becky who takes care of the rooms is awesome. The pool is awesome. And it was the best showers I’ve had in a long time. Cindy at the desk is very friendly. I definitely will stay here again and recommend it to my family and friends.
My daughter and I just happened on to this little peice of paradise. We started out in a hotel downtown Melbourne. Almost 3 times more price. Very nice place. But it was party central. Not the place to stay with my child. Went to find another hotel closer to Sebastián. There was one other hotel in the area. The other 1 was packed full and not very well lit. So Generally wouldn't stay in this type of Lodge. Honestly was kinda worried 😟. But what absolute 💯 surprise. From the moment we stepped to the front desk. We feel in love ❤️. Great customer service. Clean and beautiful pool. The weekend house keeper was very nice and made sure all the guests knew we were welcome and valued. We stayed extra days. Definitely will be back. Thanks for a great experience..
My husband and I were in town for my granddaughter's Graduation. We are retired and our budget could not afford the other high priced Hotels. We thankful to find Pennwood. The landscape is very nice and the pool was very nice too. The room was nice and no unpleasant odors, very clean! Cindy at the front desk, so sweet, and gave us a very warm and friendly welcome. Yes, I would recommend for a clean, comfortable and reasonably cost to stay. Thanks Cindy!
Kim the manager is, dishonest, rude, threatening, manipulative, and sarcastic. It was brought to my attention that Kim is being laid off, by the new management in March! Upon reading other reviews, she has been negatively reviewed previously as well, by many other patrons I made it clear to her, that I was going to be staying for the week, more than likely. On the second day, after staying there, I told her I needed to confirm with my girlfriend, whether I would be staying through the week, or not, at checkout time. So I checked out, and 2 hours later, I told her that I was going to be checking back in, after talking with my girlfriend. Kim refused to give me the same room which I clearly requested, to be put back into. I made it clear to her, that I wanted that same room, that I was in, because the air conditioning was good; and the freezer was large enough, to put my ice packs in; and it was much quieter in that back area, than in the front, by the highway; and the parking was preferable, per my visiting girlfriend's request. Kim dishonestly claimed, that they needed to do additional work in that room, before I could check back into it, as well as the three additional rooms in the back area, next to the room that I was in.The work in that room, that I requested to be put back into was never completed, as promised, so I was forced to go into an inadequate room, with poor air conditioning, no freezer, and by the highway. Kim knew that I was intending on staying there for the entire week so she knew not to do additional work in that room seeing as that's the room that I prefer to be in. She could have waited until I checked out at the end of the week to start additional work in a room that she was intending to rent to me to begin with The next day, the work was never completed in that room either, as I requested to be put back into it, then as well While in that second, poorly functioning room, on the 3rd day, Kim knocked on the door, and told me that my visiting girlfriend needed to move her car, from the back area, where she preferred to park, into the front area, by the highway. Kim dishonestly claimed, that there was going to be a supposed delivery made, that never occurred, and that my girlfriend's vehicle would need to be moved, in order, for the delivery truck to get in. After talking with an employee, they said that this was not true, because the delivery truck would back in, and pull out forward, when leaving, and there was no need for her to move her vehicle. Also to mention, that I, and my visiting girlfriend parked our vehicles there the previous two days without issue. Kim adamantly demanded, that she move her vehicle to a different, unpreferred location, and threatened to have my girlfriend's vehicle towed, claiming that there was going to be a supposed delivery, that never happened! I told her, I did not appreciate her lack of accommodation, and that I probably would not be staying there again in the future, because of her poor customer service, and she sarcastically responded,... "Great!" I have stayed at the Pennwood three, or four times previously, and was happy with the pricing, and the location of the property, to where I was going to be visiting; but this visit left a terrible taste in my mouth, to ever wish to stay there again; although, I now know, that Kim will be laid off in March, and is desperately trying to find another place to live; and there will be new management coming in, whom I look forward to doing business with in March Every time that I stayed there, in the past, there is only one, or two other rooms, ever booked out, and there is plenty of room to accommodate every patron, with whatever room they choose to preferably stay in, because 90% of the rooms are always vacant! There is no excuse, for shifting me to another room, and preventing me from checking back into the same room, that I was going to be staying in for an entire week, especially since the property was 95% vacant! I am going to be contacting the owners in Virginia whose names were provided to me!
