Great Western Sumac Lodge — Hotel in Buena Vista

What Patricia wrote is pretty much spot on, especially the experience walking into the lobby, the cat and the urine. The sign out front is in such disrepair, at first I thought the place was closed down. The lady at the front desk gave me some cheesy line about giving me a discount. The walkway in front of the 2nd floor rooms is bare plywood, at least for the rooms in the back. My room had a powerful stank odor. The TV is an old CRT style. Hadn't seen one of those in a while, but it did have cable TV and worked okay. All that said, the inside of the room and the bathroom was surprisingly clean.

I was only able two get, at the most 2 bars of LTE, and that was when I drove to the...

I have never seen a messier front office at a motel. My thought was, they must be in the process of moving. But then I read the TripAdvisor reviews from 2014 and... I guess this has been going on for some time. Meanwhile my room was very clean and appealing. With a front window that opens and a window in the bathroom, I enjoyed delicious cross ventilation all night.||||The location is great - right next to the largest grocery store in town. No coffee maker, no fridge, no microwave, no laundry room; but wait - I rarely use those amenities anyway! The internet signal was strong, and that is important to me. ||||In short - a good price for a...
