“You Get What You Pay For”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2008

All in all it was a so-so property. We booked two adjoining rooms on a cross country road trip with my two toddlers, two dogs, husband and mother-in-law. We were on the second floor and booked non-smoking rooms, but the whole hallway reeked of cigarettes. Once in the rooms they were fresh and clean, but the air-conditioners were pretty loud. One of our rooms had a queen and there was a ton of extra space where the other bed would have been, which was perfect for our two pack-n-plays. The pool was a little bit scary with dead bugs floating on top. There was a loud fan trying to circulate the air inside the pool area but it was still hotter than heck in there. There were also standing puddles of water with gross stuff floating in them. The hotel is conveniently across the street from a Quizno's that was delicious. The free breakfast was decent except their waffle maker was broken, which thoroughly disappointed my husband. They had hard-boiled eggs, oatmeal, toast, bagels and pastries. I would probably not stay there again since the whole place had sort of a dingy feel to it, but maybe that's just Metropolis in July.

“Three Strikes and We're Out”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 July 2008

Our family of three adults and two kids booked two double-bed nonsmoking rooms well in advance.

We arrived around 8 p.m., and were given keys. One room with a no-smoking label on the door reeked of tobacco smoke. The second room was cold enough to store beef. The hotel clerk offered a spray to kill the smoke odor. She found the AC couldn't be controlled (off or cold were the choices). She seemed mystified about the smoke-filled room with the no-smoking sign on the door, because she said her computer showed it was a smoking room. We didn't mention how if that were so we had been booked into it as a nonsmoking room. All we wanted by then was out. Oh, and as we awaited her decision from a call to a supervisor (apparently off site) a third guest arrived at the desk to complain her AC didn't work at all. In our brief (half-minute) stay, we noted yesterday's towels remained in a pile in the closet of one of the rooms. The clerk directed us to the nearby Metropolis Inn, which as it turned out was a mild step up.

Oh, yes. The sign on the lobby door said all pets need to arrive through a side door, not the front door where the breakfast setup was located. The hotel clerk's dog was dancing about in that area when we arrived.

Thus, we cannot comment on our stay. We were out of there as fast as we could scoot.

“Cockroaches!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2008

The hotel is dated, but has new beds, carpet & new sheets. I stayed for one night. The morning of check out, I saw a live cockroach on my nightstand! I immediately left, and had to go through all my possessions to make sure I didn't bring any home.

Stayed May 2007

“needs maintenance”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2006
2
people found this review helpful

This hotel was dirty. It truly needed lots of maintenance. I got the impression that they did the bare minimum to keep the hotel running just one day at a time.

I had a king bed which dipped down in the center like a bowl. The mattress was old and not cared for. The pillows were like 2" foam pads.

The bathroom had a leak and the water was pooling behind the wall.

The front entrance had a door bell which rang from 11pm-5am which made it impossible to sleep since the bell was so loud any room within 3 rooms from the front entrance could hear the chime of the doorbell all night long!

The only good news is that their highspeed internet worked great!

Will never stay here again and would not recommend it to anyone!

“Loved the Comfort Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2006
2
people found this review helpful

We were unsure when we booked this motel for our visit to the AQS Quilt Show because we prefer 3 [or at least 2] diamond AAA rated motels, and this was not in the AAA book. But it was a very pleasant surprise, equal to or better than many 2 and 3 diamond motels we have stayed at. This Comfort Inn is not new, but it is very nice and comfortable, clean and quiet. It is less than 10 minutes to Paducah and less than 20 minutes to the quilt show. We loved our 5 days there and definitely would stay there again when we come to the quilt show. The only downside was the breakfast room did not have enough tables and chairs, especially when the motel was full. It did have a nice pool, which we did not use. We would give it a 2 diamond rating, and upgrade it to 3 diamonds with more tables for breakfast.
