Quality Inn Wheelersburg — Hotel in Portsmouth

Very Nice Inn & a Good Night's Rest||Cost - |The price was reasonable - and as cheap as I am, I don't say that often! Our room was clean, fresh, and comfortable. What more could I reasonably ask for at the price? |FOUR pillows on the bed allowed ME to cover my ears and sleep while wife watched late night TV. The Inn itself was nice & quiet while we were there. ||Speaking of quiet... There IS a RR track nearby. Rail traffic was fairly frequent during our visit. I'm a train geek, so I loved the sounds, plus I can sleep through almost anything. My wife (a much lighter sleeper) said she never noticed ANY train noise. Just keep in mind - if you're a light sleeper, you may want to ask for a room AWAY from the tracks.| |Amenities - |Breakfast was very nice. Nothing elaborate, but fresh & hot Biscuits & gravy, fresh fruits, waffle maker and what tasted like REAL coffee...not that powered "shtuff" some places offer. There are also several eateries nearby, many within easy walking distance.||The pool (which was down for repairs in a prior review) is fully functional, and looks GREAT. Clean and inviting. The water was pleasantly warm.||The "business center" - a pc in the lobby - worked just fine for my needs. Being the last person on earth not having a phone, I really rely on the bc to stay in touch with family||Some Choice hotel locations have small individual safes in each room. This location does not.||Staff - |Last but certainly not least...Very friendly. I was a long ago resident of Scioto county. Every time I talked with Debbie and Rena, I felt like I was "home" again, talking with neighbors. Thank you, ladies! ||I've stayed here several times over the years, and hope to return this summer. I'll certainly choose THIS location. This is my...

Stayed here for a week. 1st night here kids were excited to get in pool. I was getting towels when they got in , turned around noticed pool was green, stuff was floating in it. Kids complained they was itching. They got out. I took a pic. Talked to front desk , they said they had just put shock in it. Next morning kids had a rash and my son had itched so bad he had sores on him. Later that night the pool was shut down due to maintenance and not reopened the remainder of the stay. Unfortunately there was baseball tournaments going on that week so hotels were booked in the area so I couldn't get a hotel till the following Wednesday. So I was pretty much stuck there till then. Another thing is the doors that surround the building. Usually you have to have a key to enter. Not here. Anyone can enter the building through any door at anytime. The locks on the outside doors do not work. But they did try to reassure the guests that they do have cameras that surround the building. For safety, I guess that makes you feel safe. We did find a nice Comfort Inn 30 miles away on Wednesday to finish the remainder of our stay that we were very satisfied with. But as far as Wheelersburg Comfort Inn , we will not be staying...

I was taking getting out of the shower as the house keeping attendant was knocking in the door and enetered the room while I had the do not disturb sign out. 20 minutes prior to check out.||I was at the front desk checking out at 10:55, 5 minutes before check out. I asked to speak with the manager to discuss this matter and he immediately got defensive, said "it's only 5 minutes before check out - no big deal". |And it was my fault for not answering the door when she knocked... I'm not typically one to answer the door until properly dressed.||No apology. No sympathy. Simply defensive of their rush to get guests out and get to his lunch break.||I then contacted Choice hotels to discuss with management, and they connect d him into the he call with us. When we clicked over he did not hear or know and both myself and the Choice hotels representative heard the general manager making fun of the situation, laughing, and calling me stupid.||The Choice hotels representative very quickly compensated me for the general managers insults.||I am a Diamond Choice member and have never seen a manager this horrible at his job, or as condescending to his guests. ||We will be pulling our Railway contract from this location...
