Dated but very clean. We have stayed there multiple times. For the price it’s a good deal. We don’t mind dated but must be clean.

The ad says there is breakfast. I found no breakfast. Otherwise the room was nice.

I've been staying here for the past few days, and have been impressed with how pleasant and accommodating the staff has been thus far. Any time I need a place to stay near work, I'd rather stay here than drive South to Cape. If you're planning to stay and read all the other reviews about the breakfast options, Hotel 7 is geared more towards traveling than vacationing. They offer a few selections for a quick bite to eat before you're on your way. For more than that, I suggest visiting some of the local dining options in town. For a small town, Anna has plenty of restaurants to choose from

Staff was very friendly but I only saw one person the entire time, leading me to believe they are short staffed so keep that in mind. The front lobby is clean and looks nice, I was surprised by this after all the negative reviews online. The room smelled nice and was clean for the most part. The sheets were clean, there was only one trash can though and the front of the jetted tub is exposed wood. The jetted tub should be cleaned and ran more often because it took two refills of the tub to get the water to stop looking yellow. The hand written note in the room was a cute touch.

For being a small town hotel everything was very clean. The staff was very nice. The rooms were quite comfortable and so were the beds. I will say the only thing it's not a complaint. Just an observation, the beds have a metal frame and they kind of squeak and I don't mean that in a weird way. I mean it like when you sit down they kind of squeak. But other than that everything was fantastic and it was very affordable and it was right there in town. I did have a hard time finding it a little bit but once I figured out how to get there it wasn't all that bad. If you're coming to Anna, I totally recommend staying at this hotel

We stayed in the hotel recently and I can say that it was a nice experience. The staff was friendly and accommodating. They had a variety of food for a light breakfast. The pool was closed but, I'm sure that was beyond their control.

I believe that this place has been through a lot due to the circumstances of 2020 as most businesses have. They are short staffed so give them some grace before you harshly review their business. If you need something, they will gladly accommodate you. I would say as my review staying here 2 nights, the room was very clean and well kept. Their building style and electronic equipment could use a face-lift to keep up with modern hotels, but other than that everything is functional and I had a wonderfully air conditioned room during a heat wave in weather. Their room prices are fair and affordable. They also have a very nice pool and exercise room. I hope this helps people traveling, and this world needs more understanding people during these hard times that *all business* are going through short staffing and needing help. Thanks

They've clearly been working on several improvements. Lobby, furnishings, and linnens were all nice. But still have a little work to do in bathroom fixtures. The rooms are very spacious and bed was big enough for my 6'5" kid. (which I appreciated after the previous night's stay in a downtown big city hotel.) Breakfast is basic. Beds are firm. Reasonable price. Nothing fancy. Even had a microwave that wasn't on the amenities list. Note: it is ticky to find the driveway (via neighboring businesses) to get to it: Apple maps couldn't find it.
