“Disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The front desk staff was determined to be unfriendly and did not accomodate any of our requests. We asked for a refrigerator... never even got a follow up denial of one. The shower head was cracked and water sprayed up to the ceiling. The cords of the lamp on the desk was a trip hazard when trying to close/open the curtains- as was the heating/ ac unit cord. The room appeared clean enough - but the bed was small (only a double size instead of queen or king). Breakfast was available for a fee - most motels offer it free w/ purchase of a room.

I was glad to stay only a single night - won't reserve this one again!

“Not Terrible Not Great either don't pay more than $60”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 December 2011

This place is a more dated Holiday Inn. The hallway smelled on the 4th floor my whole two day stay. The room was set up weird old school tube tv. The channel guide said I had HBO but I Never saw it. Bed was small and not that comfortable. Got this hotel on Priceline for $50 a night I wouldn't pay more than that. If you get the opportunity to choose another hotel I would. Seemed like better options around the area. But if your looking for cheap and clean its ok.

“Not worth the trouble...even with a deal.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Okay, so I was completely prepared for the worst when I got here, since the average review for this place on the internet was about 2 stars.

My flight landed in the morning, and I called to see if checking in early would be an option. It wasn't. I should have a shot around 1:30pm, though. Okay, cool..I'll find something to do for 4 hours. So I drop in at 2:30pm--surely they have ONE clean non-smoking room ready, right??

No....they don't. I'm a little annoyed at this point, but the girl behind the desk can't really do anything about it. I finally got my room about an hour later. There's a $20(?) deposit on the room that should be refunded in about a week. We'll see.

About the room:
-It's not new. But it's not old, either. It's kinda small, but it's not like you're climbing over yourself in there. Can't imagine a family sharing it, though.
-There's a tube tv circa 1999, no fridge OR microwave OR coffee machine. Those things you'll have to specifically request (for a fee!).
-The walls? Terribly, terribly thin. I'm nervous about going to sleep tonight....and waking up in the morning.
-Couple of hairs floating around the room. The bed, the lamp shade...and the shower wall was COVERED in them. Speaking of the bathroom...
-Not cleaned. At all. Somebody's underwear was on the door (I took a pic). The aforementioned hairs all over the shower wall. And there's no way in the world they could've cleaned that bathtub. The draws on the door were enough for me; I showered with a towel on the tub floor cuz I just didnt want to touch anything in there.

You'd think as long as they took to get me a room here, the room would be sparkling! Now I'm starting to think all they did was make the bed, fold some towels, and move on.

I really wanna just leave here and sleep somewhere else, but I already paid for the room. I'm mad at myself for going through Priceline...the cheaper rate I got is not worth the hassle this place has been.

Don't do it.

“Depends on what you pay...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

This is a good hotel if won for a bid site price, but the walk in rate is a joke. There are better hotels in the area for the money and plenty of them. Again, happy with what we paid on Priceline. Hotel seems to be configured for business travelers, meaning 1 queen with a sofa. I am a priority club member and they still could not provide 2 beds or a king. Hotel would be better with an upgrade. Lobby was outdated as well as the business center. Friendly staff at the desk and during breakfast hours. Bed was comfortable and bathroom was large with upgraded bath products. Good towels. Plenty of parking. Several good chain restaurants nearby and a sports bar for watching the game Saturday. Retail and a pharmacy across the street for convenience. It worked for our business trip, but if for a weekend leisure visit, I would stay in the downtown or Southpark area.

Room Tip: Make sure you put in 2 adults/2 kids on your res or you may end up with a 1 queen room. Higher floor...
