We stayed here 2 nights, first night would have given this place 0 stars, but i upped it to two after the second night.
Arrived around 1:30 in the morning exhausted, the check in guy could not be any slower if he tried. He looked so confused about my check in. He kept asking me for my mastercard when I don't even own one, but I have a visa - i later found out that this is because travelocity pays for the hotel and i pay travelocity...but this guy didn't know this. So i give him my credit card, and he leaves it on the counter.
After 15 minutes of checking in, i'm upstairs, and realize he never gave me my card back. I go downstairs, see the card laying there on the counter, and say, "this is my card" the guy says "oh i didn't even realize it was there"...great....
So we go to bed because we're getting up early to drive to punxsutawney for groundhog's day. Both my bed and the other bed have the pillows and sheets completely covered in tiny dark curly hairs. I am not kidding. I don't get shkeived out too easily. I'm only paying $60 a night so i'm not expecting the plaza..but this really grossed me out. Of course my mind wandered as to what those little tiny black hairs were. Too tired to complain we cleaned off the bed and fell asleep feeling all itchy.
Went to Punxsutawney for groundhog's day which was hysterical. The hotel was pretty close to the area without being in the town, since its impossible to book a room in town.
We came back that evening to find the bed cleaned..for real. No hairs at all...believe me we inspected. So i'm hoping it was just a fluke that first night for their sake. We ate dinner at Plyers country restaurant which is literally down the hill from the hotel. Its really good. I had the buffet and was not disappointed. The next morning we woke up early and had our free continental breakfast. This was one of the better spreads I've seen for continental. They even have a waffle maker! Very nice touch.
Check out took about 5 minutes because of the card issue again. They kept asking me for my mastercard. However this girl was smarter then the check in guy, she figured out the whole travelocity thing.
Thats it - so if the place was clean the first night, and the check in guy wasn't such a complete moron I'd give it a better rating. I'd say your gambling with what you're going to get. But it is cheap!
