Apparently I accidentally booked a hotel I’ve stayed at before almost a year ago. I wish the app would show previous stays, ratings, and reviews so it’s easier to remember whether it’s somewhere worth returning.
As for the hotel itself, it’s cheaper than most, which reflects its condition. If you’re okay with an older, rundown hotel at a lower price, this is a reasonable option. We don’t spend much time in the room beyond showering and sleeping, so we’d most likely stay again for the savings.
That said, the hotel definitely needs a major refresh. It’s dated, not perfectly clean, and has stains, patch jobs, damage, poor lighting, a stale/smoky smell, and very lumpy pillows. Soundproofing is also poor; could hear our neighbour’s TV until midnight and traffic outside sounded like a NASCAR race at 1 a.m. On the plus side, there’s plenty of free parking.
The elevator, pool, and hot tub were all out of service, and based on other reviews, they’ve been unavailable for quite some time.
Check-in and check-out were quick and easy. Staff were friendly, although I wasn’t given the Wi-Fi password or breakfast hours. The bed was reasonably comfortable, aside from the pillows.
Breakfast is very basic: toast, bagels, donuts, cereal, yogurt, soft-boiled eggs, apples, oranges, oatmeal, plus coffee, tea, milk, water, apple juice, orange juice, and lemonade.
