“Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2011
3
people found this review helpful

The first time I stayed here was a week in May 2011.

The room was clean, the AC worked nicely, the Wi-Fi connection was stable and good. The biggest issue I had with the hotel at this time was that the key cards would keep erasing themselves...so I would get all the way to my room and find that my card doesn't work... It became routine to get my card reprogrammed before I went to my room.

Also, the fridge was obnoxiously loud and the smoke detector would chirp loudly once every 90(ish) minutes.

I chalked it up as just an okay stay. It wasn't so bad that I wouldn't stay again at that point.


The SECOND time I came back to IN, I decided to stay here again...figuring I would give it another chance...
This stay was also a week in duration during July 2011.

The first room I had the toilet would flush itself every 45(ish) minutes...I requested a different room after four flushes and my attempting to fix it; I consider myself to be a handyman of sorts. No luck, the diaphragm inside the flush tank was just too old and needed to be replaced.

The second room I was in had an exceptionally loud AC...with a compressor that would have a locked rotor when it was coming off of the standby mode while operating; for anyone that doesn't know what this sounds like...it is terribly loud. The other issue with the AC was the face panel was vibrating like mad...I used some folded up paper to secure it and silence it.

Also in this second room...the sink in the bathroom doesn't drain rapidly...room service should surely know this is an issue...assuming they clean the bathroom...

All in all...it is a hotel that is not representative of the other Comfort Inns that I have stayed in. I think its issues stem from poor management.

Would I stay there a third time. No.

Room Tip: Even number rooms are on the sunset side.

“Very clean”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 June 2011

We stayed one night this weekend. The hotel was almost completely full, with just a few rooms left. We had a king suite with a sofa bed on the 3rd floor. Everything about this hotel was clean, even the elevator. There is not one cleanliness issue I could complain about. The only problem with our room was that the vanity lightbulb was out making it a little difficult to put contacts in or apply makeup. However..... it was no big deal. We did not use the pool or hot tub, but they looked clean and refreshing. We had the complimentary breakfast and it was fabulous. The employee kept everything tidy and filled. The sausage biscuits and gravy was to die for! We would stay here again in a heart beat. Great area!

“very comfortable, clean and quiet”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2010

We stayed here one night, our room was quite spacious, the king-size bed was very very comfortable (we're picky about beds). Fridge, microwave, flat screen TV, desk, sofa as expected. We heard very little noise from other guests in the hallways even though the hotel appeared to be almost full. The included continental breakfast was nice enough, the eating area was comfortable. We would stay here again if we come back to the area.

“Cleanest & Most Comfortable Motel in its Class I've Stayed in Lately”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 June 2010

I was traveling with my husband & my mother. We had a non-smoking room w/2 queen beds plus sofa. Room was very clean, plenty of amenities & had a very comfortable pillow-top mattress bed. Hotel was quiet unlike many nearby (accd. to other reviews). Included breakfast that was much ahead of most complimentary breakfasts. Besides the usual choices of cereals, bagels, toast, pastries, there were waffles & biscuits with sausage gravy. We ate during the last 30 min. of the allotted breakfast time & someone kept the stations well-stocked. Many places run out of food if you don't eat during the earlier hours. Overall, I am usually pleased with Choice hotels at least at this level. After reading the terrible reviews of most other hotels in the same area, I was very glad I chose this hotel. Only encountered one small problem & that was finding the right temp to set the A/C on so we either weren't too cold or warm.

“Nice, clean hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 June 2010

After reading the other reviews, I almost didn't book this hotel. I'm glad I went ahead and tried it. We had a terrific room with a king bed with a flat panel tv and sofa sleeper, then in a separate room divided by a half wall there was a queen bed with another flat panel tv. Also in the room was a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The beds were very comfortable, the room was clean, and the breakfast was nice, yet typical for a hot continental breakfast. The pool and hot tub were small but sufficient and the kids enjoyed them.
