“All around unsanitary and filthy experience!”

I came in to this place expecting more, I've always had good experiences with the comfort inn chain. I stayed in room 202 on the second floor. To start off, the room I got was very funky smelling. Stunk really bad, but didn't seem to be unbearable as I was extremely tired and just wanted to relax and get a bit of sleep. Well I went out of my room to the car once, to discover when I came back my key did not work and would not let me into the room. This agravated me a bit but I went to the staff waited a few minutes and they reset the code, my friend soon had this same issue a few minutes later. So he had to go downstairs to have the code reset. This is all within a 15 minute timeframe by the way. So he had it reset once more finally got back into the room. So then we went into the spa room for about ten minutes, this was not to bad. After this we finally went back to bed. I laid down in my bed to notice a very gross smell coming from underneath it. Smelt strongly of vomit, but I can't mask the smell out completely. So I rolled over to avoid the smell as I was to exhausted to make my way to the front counter once more. I woke up early the next morning made my way to the breakfast room, the breakfast was not to bad, but was missing items such as a microwave and a few other essentials but I can't honestly say that what was there wasn't satisfactory because it was. When I finished breakfast I went back up to my room to find to my dismay that I was locked out once more. I went back down to the front counter as I did not want to wake my friend up, (it was 645AM) This took 20 minutes for them to reset the code and change the batteries in the lock. I got back in the room laid back in the bed to sleep, the sheets were all dismayed, not blaming housekeeping for this one but they weren't fitted quite right then fell back asleep for a while longer when I woke back up my roommate then pointed this stain out that was on his sheets. I've seen many stains in my life an the closest thing I know to describe for this stain is Feces. It sunk through the sheets onto the bottom base sheet, I then went with him to the front counter brought the sheet with, and showed it to Rochelle Swanson, her tag claimed she was the general manager. She was very unhelpful and rude, she sent a housekeeping lady up, and we pointed it out to this women, she apologized and was very courteous of our inconvience. I then went down to rochelle and demanded a refund for this room, she denied this after all of out heartache and inconvience, she claimed that all I wanted was a free room, she said all she could do was give a 20 dollar discount. I sat thre arguing with her for 20 minutes, she would not budge, and said ''we are a 2 star hotel'' like a person checking into a 2 star hotel should expect feces stains on there bed sheets, to get locked out of there room, and have to smell vomit while they are trying to sleep. I then walked away went up to the room to get our stuff only to find out that of course I am locked out once more. Eventually got back into the room, got my stuff and left with my friend. NEVER NEVER NEVER come to this hotel. It was a terrible experience and I feel sorry for anyone that has to work for or with Rochelle, she was about as horrible of a manager as I've ever seen. I will be calling corporate shortly after this review to hopefully get a full refund, If this is the standard for hotels people are better off sleeping in there vehicles. Motel 6 is way better than this place. Thanks for anyone that has read this and I hope you strongly reconsider checking in to this slum.

Room Tip: Check your hotel room before choosing a hotel. If the staff is rude don't stay at the place beca...

“Bug off!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 April 2011

I've always stayed in the area where there are hotels also surrounding this one. I am also an employee at a hotel myself w/ Choice Internationals & also I travel for another job in the MN area. The room I stayed in was on the 2nd floor. My friends & I woke up with ANTS and LADYBUGS crawling all over us on the bed! I mean on the 2nd FLOOR!? We got our full money back & I'm for sure not willing to stay here ever again.

“No thank you...try another place”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 June 2010

Stayed Jun 2010 - If you are just needing a quick stay and the reduce the price dramatically, this would be an okay stay. Paid $63 a night. The bed was comfortable, but the questionable parts....wall stains, bedding, towel removal and needs some updates. The desk staff were great, but the cleaning crew was rushing us to get our breakfast, which 10 mins is plenty of time to grab breakfast and head to the room. I am a regular hotel goer and would not stay here again. Needs a pool to extend the price any higher.

“Priceliners and Families with small kids RUN FOR THE NEXT HOTEL....”

people found this review helpful

My family and I are in the process of relocating out of the country, so we needed a temporary place to stay for the next few months, I thought about a short term stay hotel but decided since I have had lots of luck in the past with priceline I would try it....As a side note I have stayed in hotels through priceline in many states including MN, IN, NJ, as well as IL. Anyways while checking in when they found out we used priceline its like a special note went into the computer staying dont give these people anything they ask for. We were given a smoking room with an asmathic person, they dont care. We have a 1 and 3 year old with us and per the Comfort INN website you can request a fridge and microwave on request ofcourse once we got to hotel these items are a part of a PAID UPGRADE its a joke. We asked many times to be moved and were given the run around. I would never suggest u stay here for more than one night and for sure if u have little kids they are not welcome at this hotel. Today we got a call from the same person that checked us in asking us for the same credit card we used to check in with for incidentals wanting to know the card number this place does not have it together , unhelpful staff who only serve people who dont go through priceline, if u use priceline at the Comfort INN Brooklyn Center you are treated like a second class citizen....

I stayed at this location in Sept. 2009. The room was fine. The staff was fine at the time.

My issue was with the reservation. I booked this room after the cancellation deadline had expired. Somehow, I actually booked two rooms although I only wanted one. I was never asked when I checked in when the rest of may party would be arriving. I was never informed at checkout that they were billing me for another room. This surprise came when I got my credit card statement. I called the hotel and got the information. I asked that the manager call me to straighten this out. No call. I then called the corporate line and explained my issue. They gave me the managers email and name but said that there was nothing they could do as properties are independently owned. I sent an email-no response. I called 2 other times and left messages-no response. I did get a letter from Comfort Inns stating that they were sorry but there was nothing they could do.
I remember on this night that the hotel was almost empty -it is not as if they turned people away.
I am a Diamond Elite member with this chain. I stay over 40 nights per year. I would have thought I deserved the courtesy of a response from the hotel.
I made a mistake-I admit it. The hotel charged me for an additional room-that is their choice. I expected a response from the manager to my issue.
