“Won't Be Back”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2011

We stayed here for 3 nights a few weeks ago. When we checked in, they put us in a Pet Friendly room. There was animal hair all over and the bedspread on the bed was all dirty and nasty. I am allergic to dogs, so there is no way I was staying in there. We asked to switched room and the hotel clerk laughed at us and then put us in a different room. The room was clean. However, the maid never came the entire time we were there and we were out of our room by 9:30 a.m. each day! We had to ask for fresh towels at the front desk, ran out of kleenex and almost out of toilet paper. Had we stayed another day I would have had to go down to the desk to get some! The bed was horrible. The foot of the bed was lot higher than the head and it the middle of the bed sinks down. Would not stay there again.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. Feedback such as yours will help us improve our property. I apologize for the poor performance of our housekeeping staff, this has already been addressed. We hired a few new housekeepers with many years of hotel experience.

“Not worth the money”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2011

We stayed at this hotel for our vacation to the Oshkosh Air Show. It was the cheapest hotel we could find and now I know why. We paid $150 a night and it definitely wasn't worth our money. (We later found out that the normal rate is $49.99 a night!) Our room was tiny! We had 1 queen bed and there was probably about 2 feet of walking space on both sides of the bed and probably only about 3 feet at the foot of the bed because there was a little closet and desk that took up most of the walking space. The decor of the room was simple but quite dated. There was a nice window seat that helped serve as a spot to put our luggage which helped free up some space to move around. The walls are thin though, we woke up early the next morning to faucets/showers running above and next to us and footsteps from the rooms above us and people walking down the hallway. Breakfast was horrible, there were tasteless waffles, little pieces of toast and 2 kinds of bland cereal. We ended up staying 1 night, canceled the other nights of our stay and moved to another hotel. This hotel would be OK for 1 night, but not recommended for more than that. It's definitely not worth the $150 a night we were charged!

Thank you for taking the time to review our Microtel Inn & Suites in Appleton WI. Though I apologize you didn't feel the price was representative of the value you received. I am certain however, that you found our rooms to be clean and our staff to be friendly and helpful.

As far as the rate is concerned, you mention that our hotel had the lowest price in town during EAA. During EAA the increase in demand for our rooms results in the price of rooms to increase in the entire market. It's basic supply and demand. I'm sure some of the higher tier hotels were charging closer to $300/night for rooms they "normally" sell from $100/night. Our rate is the lowest as we try to maximize the value our guests receive.

We get our waffles and cereals from the same supplier that most other hotels get theirs from. So I'm not sure why the taste didn't suit your palate.

Again, we appreciate your business and will use your feedback to improve our property for our future guests.

Dear reader, our property rents over 15,000 rooms a year. The reviews on this site are from less than one percent of our guests per year. Thank you!

“Good value for an economy hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The rooms are small --- I guess that's why they call it Microtel! But it was clean, bed was comfortable, and the free wireless Internet worked well. Very convenient and quiet location next to the mall. Basic continental breakfast. Special price for a 2-night stay of $41 was a very good value. I would stay again.

“Basic hotel, okay but needs updates”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 December 2010

This was a basic hotel, nothing fancy. Rooms were clean, but not too spacious. The TV definitely needs to be replaced, old 19" and the remote did not have a power switch to turn it on and off. We stayed 2 nights. The towels were replaced at our request, but the beds were not made. Water for the shower was warm, but definitely not too hot to burn yourself. The location was close to the shopping center, which we were looking for and the price we found on hotels.com was right. I wouldn't have paid anything more for this room.

“Hands down the best hotel in the appleton area!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 December 2010

I was skeptical when i saw the name. But the rates were VERY GOOD. So i booked this hotel for a local, yearly car show. From the second i pulled up i new things were looking good. Nice clean curb appeal. The building is very well taken care of and so are the grounds. The parking lot was clean and everything on the outside was to say the very least was welcoming. Once we got in the Hotel the inside was very nice up to date and well taken care of. The staff was super nice and very helpful with any questions we had. The Hotel rooms were also very nice. The rooms were well taken care of everything in the hotel looked brand new! The beds were super comfortable and the rooms were nice and quiet. For now on when there is a Microtel you better believe i will be staying there knowing how nice and affordable these are!!!! Highly recommended to everyone!!!
