In general the room was nice and spacious but they gave me the handicap room I didn't ask for it. The first thing I noticed when I walked in the door was a heavy stench of body odor sweat yes they had a couch there but it was staying on them all sides and it was pretty mushy that couch needs to go it was in the high 40s and low 50s so the heater was on so whenever the thermostat kicked it on it usually blew cold air for the first 10 15 seconds and since the heater blows right onto the bed it kind of made it a little uncomfortable other than that place was great

Very Clean and Nice!
It was very clean, smelled good, and front desk was very nice. However, there were stains on the sofa and the bathroom was on the smaller side. You can also hear the neighbors because of the thin walls.

Pleasant Stay @ Fremont Inn
I just stayed one night at The Fremont Inn & the room was small but had everything I needed with a Great TV.
It’s a great place to stay for maybe a night or 2 but no longer than that.

Shorty stay
The room was dirty. Old linen. Moldy shower curtain. The bed was comfortable but no mattress cover on it. The bench in the room was badly stained and had crumbs on it.There was food and a dried up contact on the counter. The floor was dirty. drink rings on the night stands. I don't usually leave reveiws, but this room was pretty gross.

The room was mostly comfortable. It was a little musty when I checked in, but I opened the doors and turned on the AC, and it was okay in about 30 minutes.
The night was comfortable, bed was comfortable too.

The staff was very nice and check in/out was very quick and smooth. The location is not far at all from the beaches, aquarium, and other sites. We enjoyed our stay.
