WATER CLOGGED IN SHOWER BOOTH

Room smelled BAD of stale cigarette smoke. When advising the Front Desk that the room smelled, he said that it was because it was a handicap-accessible room!!

In a little woodsy lot with nice owners.

It was fine. Great location

The location is perfect for visiting WMU. The hotel is a run down, but it is not ridiculously bad. My room did smell like cigarette smoke and there were guests smoking marijauna on my floor, but I still had a really good night sleep. It is a good bargain if you can deal with the rest.

The hotel was clean, but outdated in a few areas. Beds are comfortable and rooms are cozy.

Property was filthy. Room had towels hanging from the previous guests and smelled musty. Called for a late checkout for 12pm and at 11:30am was walked in on while in bed by management telling us to leave. Would NOT recommend

Nice, quiet place to stay. Will use this in the future

Easy to get to and in a decent area around a college town. It’s just hard to find parking. Staff is nice

I ususally stay at the Holiday Inn hotels. In comparission, Comfot Inn is under staffed and the breakfast quality is very low. Parking lot now plowed after snow

The location of the property was convenient for walking and the desk clerk was kind enough to upgrade 1 of our 2 rooms to a king size bed instead of 2 doubles. Other than that this property is in serious need of updating. The workout room did not have 1 working machine and the elevator was questionable. We took the stairs the entire stay which wasn’t too big of a deal since we had 1 small bag each. The door to our room didn’t close properly. We had to push the door pretty firmly to ensure it closed. We do not intend to stay there again.

Wasn’t the worst stay, but not the best either. Something (dry) but dripped on the head board 😖 room could have been a bit cleaner. No free breakfast (just a bag with apple , granola bar , mini water, cheap juice)

Was happy with everything. Didn't run into any issues.

This was a moderately disappointing experience for a brief stay. Upon checking in, I went to grab coffee in the lobby to wake me up before an event, but found that all carafes were out. They were out the next morning during breakfast too. The coffee machine in my room didn't work either. During the middle of the night, the AC/heater unit began to emit an awful smell like burning chocolate. It didn't go away until about an hour after I turned the unit off, so we were hot all night. Breakfast offerings were disappointing. Would not recommend this location.
