“Dirty Infested With Bed Bugs!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2009
2
people found this review helpful

At approximately 5:30am this morning my family and I woke up to being bit by BEDBUGS! Not only in one bed but, both beds were totally infested with them. There were more than 100 of them squished on our beds. We collected some and took them to the front office only to be told by an indian man that he is sorry but there is no problem and he could not refund the money (our room was booked through travelocity) but then offered a low ball 20 dollars to resolve the issue. THAT IS BEYOND INSULTING! Not only is this unsanitary but the possibility that diseases could be transmitted from the previous guest! I do not believe I will ever be able to stay in a hotel again without being paranoid of being bitten in the middle of the night. I AM TOTALLY DISGUSTED!!!!!!!!!!! Apparently this explains the little blood stains on everyones sheets and pillows.

“cheap”

inexpensive when we were in a bind and they allowed my dog. But the room was not clean!! Dirt around faucet and bathroom floor was dirty. Sheets and towels were stained. I felt uncomfortable: if bathroom and linens are dirty what about the rug and bedspreads!?!?

“Stains on matress and pillows!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2008
1
person found this review helpful

When we first pulled into this place we were disappointed just looking at the outside. We had booked online already and decided to see what the room looked like. The first room we looked at had stains all over the mattresses when we lifted the sheets up. The second room also had stains on the mattresses and what looked like a blood stain on the pillow. We left.

  • Disliked — the filthy mattresses

“Ok for price”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2007

My husband and I stayed here for the races, and the outside of the hotel looked kinda dingy. The gentleman was helpful, and allowed us to check in early. The room was clean and comfterable. The a/c was AMAZING!! The pool was very clean. My only complaint was housekeeping did not give us clean towels. We had to ask for them. But whatever, it was a really good rate for that specific weekend. I would stay there again.

Stayed May 2007

“Terrible”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 November 2006
2
people found this review helpful

This is an older property that has gone from a Super 8 to the Speedway Inn to Howard Johnson's The sign still says Speedway Inn.

Unlike most other motels, this one does accomodate room preferences based on when you made your reservation rather than what's available when you check in. While I requested a ground floor room on the website reservation, and there were many still unoccupied when I checked in, they were held for people who had reserved early.

Stairwells are very narrow. Room door was sticky and fussy about latching where the deadbolt would work. The bathroom had dead ants all over the floor along the walls. Upon first use both tub and sink water were rusty. The tub barely drained leaving me up to my calves in water taking a shower. I saw a mouse run from one of the outside electrical boxes into the maintenence room as I walked to my car the first morning.

In contrast to the general unpleasantness of the property, the front desk clerk was very helpful, going out of her way to help the dog show attendees find the easiest way to the show site.

Given the issues with the facilities I doubt that I would stay at this property again. Definately not a good value in my book.

  • Liked — Helpful desk clerk
  • Disliked — Facilities were awful
