“Room 113 Smells Bad”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011

This review is mixed. Hotel hallways smelled clean and looked clean. Our room however had a foul odor. I had to place coffee pods into the heater to try and make it tolerable. It helped a little but the room still stank. When I told the night clerk after checking in of the issue she just shrugged her shoulders and said 'E-ewe.'

I took a sleeping pill so I could sleep through the odor and did have a good nights sleep.

My husband and I also questioned whether the sheets were clean and freshly changed out for us. They did not smell fresh and were very loosely fitted like sheets that have been slept on. I'm sure it would not have mattered if I raised that concern with the front desk. She would have just said that they were changed that day. We brought in our own pillows, which we forgot there,

The rooms were well supplied.

Upon checking out, the front desk asked us about the smell. I confirmed with her that it stunk. She asked if we wanted a discount for the room. Why not just give us a discount? If you have to ask us if we want a discount why not just give us a discount. I should have said, yes, since she was offering, but I told her I was able to sleep through the night and left it at that. I thought I would find a surprise on my American Expresss bill of a discount anyway, but, no, I did not.

Room Tip: Decent hotel if you avoid room 113. Not in a location of any quality restaurant. An older Perkins...

Not bad for the price, but not good either. Would recommend if your only purpose was a place to sleep.

“avoid”

person found this review helpful

wireless internet did not work for the entire 3 days I stayed there.

was overcharged for the room; several attempts to contact the general manager and reconcile the charge were blatantly ignored.

it's a clean room for a cheap price and you can have free doughnuts and coffee in the morning, but I won't stay there again...

“Clean, quiet, good value.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2008

Clean, quiet, good pool. A newer hotel located far enough from I-80 that it was quiet. This is the second time we stayed there and found it to be good value. Would stay again.

  • Liked — Clean, quiet.
  • Disliked — Weak assortment of eating places nearby.
