theres a microtel and a couple other cheap hotels, I would bet they have internet.
Yea, microtel is ~$50/night, thinking about 10+ days, hoping for cheaper...Quote:

Out of the two mentioned above, I'd go with the Executive, had far less dead insects in my bed there.
They might have decent week-ender program in local jail :-) just kiddin... slowly loosing my position here...Quote:

In the Spring, Executive did not have wireless, but I was able to pick up the Days Inn signal across the street. (Now a different name I believe.)-Tom
Days Inn is now the American Inn
That might explain why I couldn't remember for sure :-DQuote:

Ramada Inn is $45 for cave divers and has wifi
I stayed at Americas, had wifi from somewhere, but my sprint card was faster. $33 a night including taxes for a king bed. Nice room, no problems except the power for that side of town went out. Then the water heater blew, but they gave me the key to another room while it was being fixed. Genuinely nice people.
Ed at Cave adventurers gets a very good rate at a local hotel if you mention him. I believe it's the Ramada but you can check with himQuote:

The rooms were of similar quality, but we were unable to pickup a wireless Internet connection at the Ramada, but we were at America's Best Inn.
tim maybe i can hook up with you. i have many,many dives at JB and i love the place
Personnally I thought the Ramada was a dump when I was there earlier this year. There was no hot water and the management kept stalling us on when it was going to be fixed, and wouldn't offer us any concessions. The carpet was crusty white in places and just frightens the heck out of me to ponder what the mysterious crusting was. We left and stayed elsewhere for about $20 bucks more a night and picked up a free hot breakfast for two to boot.
I can understand you wanting cheap digs if you're over there all the time, but when coming in from out of state and it's a vacation, I'd rather stay someplace clean with hot water.
I complained to Ramada corporate and they told me they couldn't do anything about the conditions given the Marianna location is a franchise. They did forward my "complaints" to the GM at Marianna. You should have seen the letter I got in response from the GM.....Russell/Sludge would have had a field day with it!! It read like it was written by a future Darwin Award recipient.
Damn, with a glowing review like that I don't know how I could stay away!Quote:

(btw... avoid the detached rooms on the west side of the Best... I think there was a corpse in the walls there, or so it smelled)
The Executive Inn does not have internet access. I was just there. Edd had wireless at the dive shop.
My buddy and I are stayin a Americas Best tonight...Not bad, about the same as the High Springs Inn. There's wireless also.
Just don't look between the matresses! :D
Just as long as the sheets stay clean!! LolQuote:
