“Mixed bag - not good for Comfort Suites reputation”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

When I first arrived the man at the front desk was talking on the phone and it was clear he was not talking to a customer, but he kept me waiting. I was almost on the verge of going to Country Inn instead and in hind sight I should have.The first room I got (302) was a mess. First of all the lock was broken. Then I saw building debris on the ground. There was still a measurement ruler (the ones builders use) on the table. Part of the ceiling was cracked. Got another room. There was coffee stains on the floor of the bathroom. The channels on the TV were not tuned in yet (tuned it myself, wasn't worth the hassle going to the front desk guy)! There was lots of restaurant pamphlets in the drawers from different areas not just Doswell. The folder with information about the hotel had scribbled writing on some of the pages.

Its a shame really. These things could have easily been resolved before the hotel was even opened but its clear to me that they rushed the opening of this place. I think it opened in 2010?

Overall, the room was actually quite nice (both that I saw) and clean except for the coffee stains and debris. The photos on the website is pretty much what you get. But its not enough for me to even give it an average rating because frankly its below the standards that I would expect of the Comfort Suites brand. I'm giving it a poor rating but on the higher end of poor because the rooms are still nice and clean.

“realy nice friendly place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011

We (agroup of 5) Went to kings dominion so we stayed here 1 night. One room had 2 quean beds and a let out sofa bed so it worked perfect for us. At checking in we were greated with a smile and convercation, making us feel like we belonged there.We went to the room and realized that we needed more towels , coffie and soap and conditioner and it was no problem, we went to the front desk and it was given to us with a smile.We left to go to Kings Dominion with a "have fun". Every thing there was nice and clean.There's a lot of parking including truck or cars with trailers. That was good also, we had 3 cars.(we came in from different places) We had a Nice stay. I will recomend this hotel to every one.

“Avoid this place!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011

This hotel was filthy. The sheets in the sofa bed were stained and I had to request clean ones, and there was no extra blanket for the sofa, either. There were sticky rings (from soda?) on tables and the nightstand. The carpet had sticky spots everywhere and the bathroom floor had not been mopped as evidenced by the brown spills on the tile. The non-slip pads in the shower were black. Even the hallways and elevators needed a vacuuming & carpet cleaning. The desk clerk was unfriendly and tried to kick us out after the first night despite the reservation receipt clearly showing I had reserved two nights. The hotel is located beside train tracks. I heard 4 trains the first night. The breakfast was gross. Normally we like Comfort Suites, but this one gave us the creeps. Will not stay here again.

Dear Guest,

First off I am extremely sorry you endured such a unpleasant stay at our Comfort Suites and thank you for your feedback. Over the past few weeks we have made numerous changes to our hotel. For one, we have changed most of our staff members including housekeepers and front desk clerks. We were having some issues with many things and Have resolved these problems. As for the reservation error we are extremely sorry you were not accommodated the way you should have been. I would like to offer you a future discount at our hotel if you would give us another chance. We have gone through deep cleaning in each and every room and also all of our common areas throughout the hotel. As for the train we are sorry but there is nothing we are able to do about the inconvenient noise. In the future we can try to place you away from the tracks making it a little quieter for you. Once again we are very sorry about your previous stay, but we have made many changes that we believe have made our Comfort Suites a much better hotel to stay at. Thank you for your concerns and we hope to satisfy you in the future.

“Disgusting experience”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2011

We booked a room here because it was close to kings Dominion and I have always dealt with Comfort Suites. BIG MISTAKE this time! Before I even made it into my room i saw numorous dead roaches in the elevator ceiling where the light was. Once I got into the room it really got worse. I always check the beds before bringing any luggage in and I am glad that I do. I pulled the sheets back on the first bed and saw three small bugs crawling and bouncing. I managed to kill one and looked it up on my phone. Sure enough "BED BUGS". I could not get out of there quick enough. I suggest using EXTREME caution if you attempt to stay here. You may end up bringing home some uninvited guests that will not want to leave!

Room Tip: Always check the beds!!!!

“Awful Stay”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

First of all, let me say we stayed at this hotel last year and it was great! Of course, i guess that was because the hotel was new. This time, upon check in, the hotel manager checking us in was very rude. After recieving our keys, we entered a room that wasn't even clean. Dirty sheets and towels thrown every where. We go back down stairs to complain and they look at us as if we were lying. So an employee came to check only to find out that we were telling the truth. Finally they send someone to clean the room. Their cleaning staff needed something to be desired... straight attitude as if we had ruined their day. We had to ask for extra towels, pillow cases and continue to go back and forth with the front desk only to get straight attitude. Breakfast had one waffle iron for the entire hotel, so the breakfast that was promised was out of the question. All in all, it was a awful stay I recommend everyone stay at the Country Inn Suites next door, because it was alot cleaner and better customer service.
