This motel is number one in Globe. That kind of says something but it is a newly remodeled (closed due water pipe bursting, damage, etc from Feb to August '11, now open) and done rather nicely. Of course you have a slight odor of 'new' paint, carpet, etc... and also the layout is a bit strange. The top floor has a large section devoted to three round tables and that runs almost the length of the building - for miners to sit down at after work and ..? But it never happened while we were there, one night at least. Globe is mostly mining. Many copper miners stay at the Travelodge as evidenced by bits of dirt leading up the stairs in the back to the second floor. However, the rooms are clean... why only three circles?
We had a Concierge Suite, large king (and it was plush) decent sized room with refrigerator, on and cool, a microwave, tub/shower typical combo with sink separate... big screen TV, adequate Internet, closet and so forth. But we discovered early on that the toilet didn't flush. And the bathroom door wouldn't shut. It was around 7PM and we called the 'front desk.' They arrived within moments and noted the issue but could not fix it that night. However they did offer to move us and our belongings... but we'd traveled for 8 hours, were all unpacked, tired and just said the 'heck with it.'
Try harder... managers/owners/maintenance SHOULD WALK their property. After cleaning each room, staff should flush the toilet, close doors, turn on lights, CHECK TO see if things work right! It takes only moments. IF SOMETHING isn't right, KNOW ABOUT it before the traveler arrives and fix it! There should be nothing about a 'room' that a lodger knows before management! Period. TRY Harder... instead of here, give the Dream Manor Inn a try.
If management does what we suggest, than this place could well deserve number one but until then they do not and you might consider another location. BTW, management is a a pleasant father/son team... they should learn from this issue.
