“Cheap-in every sense of the word”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 April 2010
3
people found this review helpful

The AARP price of $79 per night is a good deal in Charleston. The property is on a quiet side street between the railroad track and a large factory, and the rooms are small but clean. The plumbing works, although you'll want to drink bottled water because of an overwhelming chlorine taste in the tap water.

I would have enjoyed my stay, but the place is so bare-bones that I had to ask for a fourth pillow (why would a room for 2 occupants have 3 pillows?) and request the breakfast attendant to brew a pot of decaf coffee in the morning. In both cases, the staff member politely let me know that these simple needs were far above and beyond the normal accommodations, and then produced the needed item without difficulty.

I'd been amused by the signs at the entry doors that instruct guests to clean their shoes before entering, but now I understand that carpet cleaning must be a major event at this hotel.

The business center turned out to be one computer in the breakfast room. I'd planned to spend my morning before checkout typing up a transcript from a business meeting, but when I sat down to work just now, I discovered the management never went to the expense of installing Word. Maybe I just need to ask?

If you read my other reviews, you'll know I will tolerate pitifully substandard conditions, if I get the feeling that I am a guest. In this hotel, I fel more like a petty inconvenience.

“Very nice & great service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2008

person found this review helpful

I stayed here on my way home from Virginia because my friend that I was traveling with wanted to go to the local Casino. We stayed in a two room suite because it was all that was available when we checked in. This was my first time to stay with this hotel chain. We asked the hotel clerk for suggestions on places to eat and were given several once we decided where we wanted to go we were given directions to get there. The room was very nice & the beds were very comfortable.

“Small rooms - good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 February 2008

person found this review helpful

Small rooms (the name may give that away) but very clean, well presented both in the room and externally. Near to the plants in South Charleston. Very friendly staff. WiFi worked well.

I was on the railroad tracks side of the hotel but the trains did not bother me - however, I'm sure I was awakened by someone coughing in the next room. Some corridor noise but would still recommend to someone looking for a property in this area.

“needs improvment”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 November 2007

We have stayed here in the past the rooms are great and location as far as accesability to main roads are great. Most of the staff are freindly although the gentleman at the desk last night had a little attitude problem. The only thing that really needs improvment is the free breakfast. Hot waffles or cold cereal for the children would be nice, visit some of your other competators offering breakfast and you'll see it makes a difference

“A Breath of Fresh Air”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2007
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed at the Microtel in Charleston the night of October 12, 2007. I was in Charleston on business. I try to be frugal when I travel as each cent spent that doesn't have to be spent comes out of my earnings. Hence, I spend a lot of time at Super 8s and Microtels.

Upon arrival at the Charleston Microtel I was greeted in the warm, typical southern West Virginia way that I find so endearing among my adopted state brethren. While the gentleman was beginning to check me in, his wife came out to the desk and took over because "your Dad" is on the telephone. The next morning as I was checking out I saw Dad cleaning the light fixtures in the foyer. Please do not mistake this family description as a lack of professionalism. I was checked in and checked out efficiently.

I stayed in a queen room. I was very pleased with the room. Oh, yes, it was the typical MICROtel sized room but it was spotless. I have stayed at much more expensive hotels and dealt with far more filth. Everything in the room was in good repair. The television had plenty of channels to keep me entertained on a Friday evening away from home. The wireless internet was excellent and the breakfast was a cut above the budget hotel fare, although nothing elaborate.

I was discussing my travel with a friend who also travels a lot for his business and he has also stayed at this specific Microtel and been very pleased.

  • Liked — service, cleanliness, good repair of facility
  • Disliked — location was a bit
