Sanford Homestays

This hotel is so close to being great. It really needs a good, deep clean. Especially the floors. It just has a general run-down vibe. However, the beds were super comfy!!! And the pillows were heaven. The shower was hot, though a bit slow and the water didn’t drain. The breakfast was excellent, though the area needs updating. The food was really good with lots of great choices. It served our purposes of being close to the airport with a free shuttle. Good price for good sleep and a very nice breakfast. Just don’t expect the Ritz.

I selected this hotel since it's among the newest property in the area with close proximity to Sanford airport. Tired of being disappointed with so many run down outdated hotels, this one did not disappoint being brand new with all the features we could ask for including a pool, well insulated room from any road noise, and a well appointed bathroom design stocked with essentials.  The best breakfast was great as with all Holiday Inn Express hotels along with a good variety and friendly staff, including Jessica, a great general manager who goes above and beyond to assure the best customer satisfaction. I highly recommend this location.  Tip: Being a new hotel, GPS isn't very accurate, so be sure and turn into the Starbucks entrance to avoid missing the turn as we made three attempts to access the hotel using Google maps.

Nice room; loved the beautiful tile floor. No carpet. I have allergies so that was wonderful. The only thing I would improve was the full sized bed. Too small for two people. And no breakfast included. But the facility was well taken care of.👍👍 I would definitely stay here again. Plus you get a beautiful view of the lake!!

I wish we were allowed to give 1/2 stars. I give this property a 4.5. While Sanford is a lovely town, with great shops and restaurants, many people stay there because they are flying in/out of SFB or using the Auto Train. This hotel is clean and has all the necessities: Guest Laundry, Ice on every floor, Business Center where you can print things out and Guest Laundry. Also, lots of chain restaurants within less than a 5 minute drive (i.e. Cracker Barrel, Texas Roadhouse, Outback). While I did not use the airport shuttle, it was sitting outside at 3:40am when I left to drive to the airport to drop off my rental car. That's a good sign. There are several Allegiant flights that leave around 6am so knowing that you can have access to a shuttle at 4am is a welcomed relief. The reason I did not give a ”5” is because the two chairs in my room were older and slightly ragged. The computer chair almost tipped over when I was sitting in it.
