I recently stayed for three nights starting on Thanksgiving. When I first arrived, the front desk lady (young Indian woman - sorry forgot her name) gave me a bad impression. The door to the lobby was locked. Once the door opened, the front desk lady shouted "use your key." I responded, I don't have a key. I'm checking in. She didn't apologize, but I let it go. Interestingly, there was a sign on the wall stating the door is locked between 10pm and 6am. Use your key. I arrived at 11am. Moreover, I booked a handicap room. While checking in, she rhetorically stated "do you really need a handicap room?" I felt like she was mocking me as I thought this ignorant and insensitive to say. She preceded with speaking to me in a condescending way and made me feel unwelcomed. I kept my composure as I arrived after a long drive. I just wanted to rest. I even saw how she interacted with other guests. Her rude self does not need to work at the front desk anywhere. Aside from that, the room was fine. It was spacious and clean. The bed and plentiful of pillows were comfortable. The bathroom had a nice amount of towels, face rags etc. There was a stain in the carpet, but it was no big deal to me. I was not expecting a 5 stars hotel room. The air heat/AC worked fine. The cleaning lady I saw seemed nice. She even checked the next morning to see if I needed service. I did not any of the 3 nights that I stayed, but I left her a tip anyway when I checked out. The free breakfast was minimal. Nothing major. I don't eat meat, so it was very minimal for me. Potatoes would have been nice to go with my waffles and fruit. But, hey. To be free, I think it was light and decent. There was an infrequent train that came near by, but it was no big deal. I never used the gym. I cannot comment on that. I do think the hotel is in a decent location. There are some food spots around and I liked that the gas station is right there. That made it convenient to fill up before I got back on the road. I do think the nightly rate was perhaps 20 dollars more than it should be. The room was fine, but barely worth the charge. Would I stay at this hotel again? Yes as I enjoyed the room stay. I just hope to not run into the Indian front desk woman that was there. She is the reason my rating dropped for this location. She even watched the guests as they ate the free breakfast. Just creepy.
