Don’t go
When we arrived at our room the door was being held open..entered carefully and the beds were not complete. Got the person on the front desk he offered to give us pillow cases …is that not your job? There was no blow dryer …called the front desk for 2 hours and continually busy..it was not an emergency but what if you need help. The food at breakfast was disgusting…didn’t eat and left

Room was nice and staff were friendly. However it was advertised as having a breakfast, but there was pretty much nothing there except bread and biscuits and gravy. Waffle machine had no supplies, no eggs or bacon in hot serving tray, juice machine broken, no fruit. Worst breakfast buffet I’ve seen.

Worst Hotel Ever
Worst hotel experience of my life. From the rattling HVAC that maintenance could not fix (he said he didn’t have a single tool to use for his job), to the ant infestation coming from a crack in the window (and all inside our suitcases), to TVs that did not work (we were given a new room after the ants and the front desk clerk said “I don’t know how the TVs work, I’m not from this hotel”), to the bed frame that was off center and my daughter injured her leg because the metal part was hidden by the bed skirt, to the disgusting stains all over the room (from carpet to the doors), it was awful. This hotel is in absolute shambles. Every handle is upside down on the doors so keys don’t work properly and they require mental gymnastics to open. I asked for the manager to call and she did not contact me. I will never, ever stay at a Microtel again, and I will place this review everywhere to serve as a warning to others.

Too tired to complain but it was gross
When I first got there another family was complaining that there was a used wad of chewing tobacco on the night stand and it was dirty. When I went into my room the room smelled moldy and it was very stuffy and stayed that way until we left. The fridge was warm and it still had a bottle creamer, cheese sticks and butter from past guests. There was trash all over the floor. The bed skirt had what I believe to be sperm on it. The counters hadn’t been wiped off and were filthy. The workers were really nice but I truly think they’re just doing the best they can. I’m just not sure this is for them.
