“Don't stay here! Rude staff and disgusting room with possible rodent infestation”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011

I stayed here after Delta bumped my flight. It was pretty dingy which was not unexpected. I was definitely put into one of the older rooms. However, after I turned the TV off and tried to go to sleep I kept hearing rustling in the walls, like rodents were climbing around. It totally freaked me out and, after turning on the light and listening to them for 20 minutes to make sure I wasn't crazy, I went down to the front desk to ask for another room. The clerk was nice at first but then asked me if I'd used the bed or the bathroom and when I responded that I had been in bed when I heard the rustling, he informed me that because there wasn't a problem physically inside the room then he wasn't able to move me. I told him I WASN'T staying in that room and asked to be moved to a different wing of the hotel. He told me that it was against policy because I'd "used" the bed. Finally, after rudely suggesting that I use earplugs to block out the rustling noise, he gave me the key to another room. He made it sound like he was doing me a huge favor ("I'm really not supposed to do this") and the cop who was standing at the front desk agreed with him ("Wow, that's really nice of you to help her out"). My jaw dropped -- what a ridiculous situation to even have to be in, let alone that the clerk made me feel like he was doing me a favor. The new room was better (no noise of rodents in the walls, yay!) but there were no blackout curtains so it was tough to stay asleep.

I told Delta about my experience and strongly urge travelers NOT TO STAY HERE -- even if you have to pay a little extra, its worth it to not stay here!!

Room Tip: Ask to stay in a newer room -- the difference is markedly different.

“Shuttle only runs hourly to airport, NOT on demand”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Delta stuck me here when they cancelled my flight. Be advised that though it's only 5 minutes from the airport, the airport shuttle only picks up once every hour. So, like me, you could end up coolling your heels at the airport for 59 minutes if you just missed it. Had I realized this from the start, I'd have taken a cab.

Otherwise: typical Days Inn. Not a place I'd choose to stay if I had other options.

“Good for the value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 March 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Staff is accommodating and courteous; rooms are clean and orderly. This hotel is a little older, but they take care of it. Could hear the neighbors heavy footedness from above me, but, come on folks, this is not home. This is communal living even if only for one night. No road noise as it is set back off of the heavily travelled road and I stayed on the other side - away from the road. Reservations was great at finding me a valuable rate. Breakfast bar was the usual fare, nothing special there. Oh, they have no microwave in the room and the coffee is a one cup brewer. While I didn't use the pool or jacuzzi, they looked welcoming.

“Friendly staff, but not very efficient”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2010

We decided at the last minute to stay at a hotel and do a park and fly. This place had openings, now we know why. The front desk informed us when we got there that they only make trips to the airport every half hour even during peak times and that the time we needed to leave for the airport, the slots were already full, so we had to leave an hour earlier than expected, so we asked for a wake up call at 4. We didn't get an efficient vibe from the front desk, so we set our phones, which is a good thing because we never got out wake up call. When we asked what happened, they said they didn't know, but were sorry.
We had also asked for a roll a way, we could get it for an extra $15, which wouldn't be so bad, if we didn't have to call 3 times to get it. They were very apologetic, as there was a shift change and they kept forgetting to bring it.
On our return trip, we called when we landed, the front desk said they didn't know where there driver was, because he wasn't answering the radio, but he should be at the pick up spot in 5 minutes and to call if he didn't show up. Well, he wasn't there, so we waited and then waited a bit more and then called, only to get a recording. We tried calling for 20 minutes straight, when we finally got a hold of someone at the hotel, they said it would be another 20 minutes before they could get driver there. Other hotels had vans that had been to the pick up area twice in that amount of time. Once the driver was there he was very friendly and outgoing, but it made us if we were ever going to get back to the hotel.
We ended up paying an extra $40 to have another car there. My advice would be to pay a little extra and go with a more efficient hotel.

“Yikes! Go somewhere else”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 April 2010

Just a general run down feeling, attention to details not practiced here.

Dirty corridors, moldy shower, breakfast that never got restocked..there are better choices out there.
