Did not like the long glass paneled mirror that took up the whole wall where the beds were. It was very unsettling to have that in the day and age where cameras could be all over your room. The bathroom area was too small for 3 people, the elevator had issues and was extremely dirty. Disappointed with the pictures online versus reality.

The carpet in the elevator looked as if it hadn't been cleaned in years. I was in room 227 and it smelled like at one point was a smoking room. The smell of smoke was bad.

Dirty bedding. Was given new sheets. When I remade the bed, I saw how unclean the mattress topper and under the mattress was. If a family member hadn’t borrowed my car I would have considered leaving. The carpet and sofa had stains as well. I’ve had okay stays with this hotel in the past.

The room had a very funky smell. The bedding was not warm. It's was thin and no blankets or heavy comforter was used. I had to use bathroom towels on top to try and trap bodyheat. Unfortunately, a mistake in booking by me cost me more money. We arrived after midnight and I had booked a room using that new date. Rather than the clerk canceling our reservation he charged us an ADDITIONAL $25.00 more and told us we could have the room now and check out at 2 p.m. vs 11:00 a.m. We did not need the room beyond the few additional hours. A medical emergency had brought us here for a family member. This transaction left a less than favorable taste in my mouth. Yes, we made the mistake but he took advantage of it by not correcting it when it was explained. Up till now I had excellent interactions and stays at Microtel. If we find ourselves in this position again we will not seek this location out.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Staff nice but the room smelled like stale cigarettes and remained throughout the stay. It is noted that the motel is non smoking. Not sure if it is just so embedded in the carpet, drapes or whatever else, but it was so bad. We were moving our child in college, so we were gone from room most of the day but gross upon return.

Nice stop on a long road trip
Lots of parking. Nice and helpful front desk. Comfortable bed. Adequate breakfast. Spotty Wi-Fi. Mild unpleasant odor. Older property needs some work on doors that don’t close properly.
