The TVs are very small and hard to use. We had to switch inputs and the sound wouldn’t work and they were just finicky. The beds were very soft and the staff was great, but felt a little run down and the outside signs were just banners hung over old signs which made us uneasy.

The "front" entrance is at the rear of the property, but I suspect it was done in anticipation of a cluster of hotels in a group, which has not yet happened.

The a/c unit sounded like an airplane landing, so load, heard when taking a shower. If we had arrived earlier than 11pm, I would have asked to be moved to a new room. The second room was by the stairwell, and closing door from any of the floors was heard as well throughout the night. For the breakfast, waffle batter, no waffle maker, mini fridge for pitchers of beverages, but those ran out by 7:45, except milk.

Room was nice and staff were friendly. However it was advertised as having a breakfast, but there was pretty much nothing there except bread and biscuits and gravy. Waffle machine had no supplies, no eggs or bacon in hot serving tray, juice machine broken, no fruit. Worst breakfast buffet I’ve seen.

Worst Hotel Ever
Worst hotel experience of my life. From the rattling HVAC that maintenance could not fix (he said he didn’t have a single tool to use for his job), to the ant infestation coming from a crack in the window (and all inside our suitcases), to TVs that did not work (we were given a new room after the ants and the front desk clerk said “I don’t know how the TVs work, I’m not from this hotel”), to the bed frame that was off center and my daughter injured her leg because the metal part was hidden by the bed skirt, to the disgusting stains all over the room (from carpet to the doors), it was awful. This hotel is in absolute shambles. Every handle is upside down on the doors so keys don’t work properly and they require mental gymnastics to open. I asked for the manager to call and she did not contact me. I will never, ever stay at a Microtel again, and I will place this review everywhere to serve as a warning to others.
