Hotel: Coratel Inn and Suites by Jasper
My stay at Coratel Inn and Suites by Jasper was disappointing on multiple levels.
The property is undergoing major renovations, but unfortunately, they are doing so while remaining open to guests. This creates a chaotic and uncomfortable environment. There was active tree trimming and construction happening during my stay, and parking was a serious issueâI was blocked into my spot due to the work being done. Park at your own risk.
The outside of the hotel is poorly maintained and in clear need of both repair and upkeep. There is no elevator for this two-story hotel, which is important to know if you have mobility concerns or heavy luggage.
Inside the room, conditions werenât much better. While the room itself was somewhat clean, the bathtub had black mold, and the shower didnât drain properly, causing water to back up around your feetâdefinitely bring shower shoes.
Other in-room issues included a non-functional TV, and a mini fridge sitting on a tray that had to be rocked back and forth just to open or close it. There was also only one working ice machine in the entire hotel.
Security is another concern. The side entrance door remained unlocked all day and night, which does not make for a safe or secure environment.
From what I observed, this property seems to cater more to individuals in need of short-term or transitional housing. While thatâs not inherently an issue, the hotel still needs to meet basic standards for cleanliness
