The hotel's interior is a completely different experience than the exterior. While the exterior gives you hope, entry into in the interior removes that hope. Details matter - like cleaning up dust and trash from corners, having a fresh paint job since the turn of the century, or having the plastic placard at the entry desk not being broken. But those details don't matter to this hotel. Upon entering, we were greeted with another guest asking for 2 extra sets of sheets to cover his room's dirty couch. His wife/gf/whatever refused to sit on the couch unless it could be covered up. The employee would only give him one. The employee was not pleasant or courteous upon check in. He wasn't rude, either, just ambivalent to our presence. The walk to our room did not fill us with positive feelings - hallways were dirty, had food crumbs throughout, smelled dank and stale, the carpeting was fairly new, but stained pretty much anywhere you looked. Gives you a bit of insight into the quality of people who stay here, and how well the staff maintains it. Upon entering our room, the room was better than expected based on the walk TO the room. It was cool, and had had housekeeping make at least a passable attempt to prep it for our stay. The AC was set on 62, which may have been because we were visiting during a heat wave, but it worked, so that was important. The smell of the room was strong with some kind of freshener - Febreeze or similar Upon pulling out the desk chair to sit, it was COVERED in stains - the human kind, not the spill kind. The kind you definitely don't want to investigate with a blacklight. That chair was not utilized ONCE during our stay. Guessing a lot of single men stay here and that's their spot where they do their business while browsing certain websites. The drains (sink and tub) both drained very slowly. The windows are thin - passing any outside sound like it's in your room. That's extra special because the road outside is apparently the local gathering point for drag strip races in the overnight hours. Follow those sounds with police sirens about an hour later ... you get the idea. On the positive side, there were no airport sounds in the room, despite the proximity to the airport. There is no breakfast, and there was no mention of wifi for us
I'm a Wyndham member and exclusively stay at Wyndham hotels. This one does not set a good standard or impression for the brand. If all you need is a bed outside of the rain, this will do it. But if you want a full night's sleep, to trust that you won't get some STD from sitting on the chair in your room, or a place where the staff cares about the facility ... keep looking. Believe the reviews...
Read moreI had the misfortune to book this place last Monday and Tuesday night (March 17 and 18, 2025) What is wrong you ask?
We drove 10hrs for a competition and booked this hotel as the team booked here....turns out I booked the wrong location. This hotel is close to the airport so that is a bonus if you are looking for airport proximity....this is where the pros end. We arrived to check in to walk down the hall on the 2nd floor to smell likely 10 cans of cheap air freshener circulating to cover up the smell of smoke and pot. Our room was damp and musty and more air freshener cover up. We turned on the air conditioner thinking that would resolve the issue and left for the Ruby Tuesday Restaurant behind the Hampton Inn (right beside us where we should have booked). 3 hrs later, we returned to the same air freshener sprayed hallway and the room was just as strong and gave us a headache. Front desk moved us to the first floor which was not fragrance filled but we still smelled smoke from the adjacent rooms. Our room was still musty and not clean: carpet was in need of a deep clean, stains on the stucco ceiling and walls, no microwave and fridge which we assumed are standard in every hotel, rust and mildew in the bathroom, grass was found on the chair from previous guest, outlet did not work, side door was unlocked and opens without a key card access, TV did not work. There are no amenities nearby. We checked for bed bugs and it seemed clear. If it wasn't for the 10hr drive, we would have left for the Hampton Inn Next door. So....basic enough to survive the night but will definitely not book here again. We never heard of the Microtel chain but it will definitely not be on our list to book. Front desk was not courteous at check-in but was more attentive when we reported the foul smells. He said "they spray every room after they clean it". I told him a clean room should not need spray". There were automatic air fresheners in the halls every 20-25 feet spraying more chemicals....this is not good or healthy. So book the Hampton Inn across the lot or the...
