“DONT STAY IF YOU ARE TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 February 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Me and my 18 month old son stayed here for a night because my son has health issues so he had an apt with the mayo clinic. I promise you that is the reason i was here not to annoy the neighbor. My son cried for oh about a minute tops when i put him in his bed at 945pm and fell asleep shortly after. I received a call at 10pm telling me that my neighbor called to make a noise complaint because my child was crying.... AFTER HE HAD STOPPED CRYING AND WAS ASLEEP!!!!! This phone call had woke up my child and geuss what, he started crying again. After this phone call it took my another half hour to forty five minutes to get him back to sleep. They saw when i walked in that i had a toddler with me. They should have at that point given me a room that was off my myself so i wouldn't disturb anyone but instead they gave me and my son an a joining room to someone else. I have never in my life been sooo offended by the discrimination that me and my son recieved. Anyone who has had children or babysat for that matter know that children will cry because they are in an unfamiliar place. Comman sense!!!
Oh and did i mention that the ac didn't work, the hallways smelled awful, and the carpet in my room was incredibly sticky.
It was an awful stay and i will never ever ever stay here or let my friends stay here ever.

“STAY AWAY”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2010

people found this review helpful

My husband and I stay in alot of Super 8 motels because most of them have truck parking, but I was tempted to sleep in my truck in the parking lot this time. The building is layed out like a rat maze and the halls were so dirty I was suprised I didn't come across the rat while I was wandering around trying to find my room. This is a pet friendly hotel and the halls reaked of dog crap and I assume the huge stains on the carpet were from the same source. The elevator floor was also filthy.
Lack of a cheaper smoking room forced us into what they called a "Queen Suite" but a kitchen sink that spits out high pressure squirts of dirty water, a warm fridge, and a dirty microwave hardly qualifies as a suite in my book.
Other than the dirty carpet the room was fairly clean and the bed linens were ok.
The indoor pool was right off the lobby but it was very small. The hot tub was empty and full of ladders and tools.
The breakfast was the usual stuff and the breakfast area was clean and well stocked. There was also 24 hr. coffee in the lobby.
The staff was very nice even if they did give me wrong directions to my room.
Do yourself a favor and spend the extra $10.00 and stay up the street.

“Cost of night way overpriced for what experience!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2009
1
person found this review helpful

I really wish I had not wasted my time staying at this hotel. Everything that could be wrong with this hotel was. Sheets were dirty, the floor wasn't vacuumed, the bathroom was dirty, the heat didn't work, the front desk staff wasn't able to really assist with much. The night clerk spent her time on her cell phone. The only good experience was the donuts in the morning. However with paying a rate of $80 for a motel that should have been the rate of $39.99 I could have taken my business guests out for a coffee and a scone at a near by Starbucks!

“Less than Average Quality”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2008
1
person found this review helpful

When we checked in, the first unmistakeable impression was a terrible smell. The room was a mix of must and something else. It felt very humid regardless of having the air conditioner on. We called the front desk to ask for room deodorizer and they never brought us any.

The water had some issues staying at a constant temperature. It went from warm to cool and sometimes quite hot.

The carpet was sticky and the hotel was rather loud.

The beds were fine, the continental breakfast was a little disappointing, but it had the basics.

“M i s e r a b l e”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 July 2008
3
people found this review helpful

If you are looking for a restful, quiet night's stay, then this hotel property is not for you. The main problem with this property is the poor construction and lack of any sound-proofing. We could easily hear the couple on the other side of our wall until 4:30am and at first thought their conversation was an obscene message broadcast on the speaker system throughout the hotel. It was only after calling the front desk and being told there was no such speaker system that we realized these sounds were actually coming from the room next door! Throughout the night we were constantly "jolted" out of bed by some neighboring door being slammed shut causing the walls to rattle. Every time someone would walk down the hallway you not only heard it, but felt it, too! The room itself was worn, dirty, and tired with scuffed-up furniture and rusted old lamps. The hotel staff was friendly and nice enough, but unfortunately the condition and poor construction of this property made it our most miserable hotel experience ever.

  • Liked — Location and price.
  • Disliked — Noisy, poor construction.
