Microtel Inn & Suites

INFESTED WITH ROACHES!!! If I can. I wouldn’t even give this place a single star. My bf and I checked into the hotel at 1 am. Got our keys and went into the our room. They had a full house, and we were glad we booked the hotel in advance and prepaid. However, we regretted booking this hotel the moment we walked in. The first thing we noticed was that there were small cockroach all over the wall, even more gross, there were a few under the pillows too. I had to wait an hour for the refund because it was booked online. Filthy hotel left us searching for hotels in the middle of the night. And most hotels are all sold out and very expensive at the point. Wouldn’t never ever stay in another microtel. It still give me goosebumps when I think of those roaches.

Visiting from out of town and saw this place had okay reviews on another site (didn’t check Unilocal,or we’d have known better), so we gave it a shot. No. Just no. Neither of us need a whole lot when it comes to lodgings, as long as it’s clean, comfortable, and safe, we’re happy.
But this was so bad. It shares a parking lot with a gas station, the lobby absolutely reeked of something (urine?) horrible, and the elevator was actually worse (I’m not exaggerating, I actually coughed and had to hold my breath it was so bad). The hallway wasn’t much better, and there were copious amounts of a strange white powder sprinkled all along the carpet trim (any poison? Baking soda? Who knows…). The room thankfully by comparison smelled far less gag-​worthy, but there was holes in the sheets, a very suspicious collection of stains on the couch and window seat, and the walls were filthy.
For like 25 dollars more a night we got a nice room with a king size bed at the Springhill Suites just outside of town. They had a buy 2 nights get the 3^rd free deal running, so it was actually cheaper, plus infinitely more comfortable/​at ease, which was indescribably worth it.

Clean, small and comfortable. This place does the job for someone on the road who needs to get a shower and good night sleep. Comfortable beds. You get your money worth for $ 50 a night.

This is by far one of the worst hotels I’ve ever «stayed in». We could not stay long because there was no A/​C (temps in the 90’s that day) and the door didn’t have a working bolt lock. If you saw the location and the vagrants walking around outside you would know the reason for concern and wanting a bolt lock on the door. We are currently in a battle with the GM, of all people, because they will not allow a refund even though we were told upon our departure from the Microtel that we would be given a full refund.
simply had to call the GM. Well the GM is now refusing a refund. The problems with this hotel exceeded the above mentioned; It leaves so much to be desired as soon as you arrive. The look of the lobby and the rooms are dirty. Plain and simple, it’s dirty. I don’t know if they are in the process of a renovation or not but either way it looks as if it is being demolished from the inside out. We ended up leaving and driving about 20 minutes to The Wingate hotel. The price was approximately $ 10.00 cheaper and it was beautiful. I would recommend sleeping in your car before booking this hotel.

Awesome hotel!

This has got to be the sketchiest places I have ever stayed, and I’m including Army deployments. First, the guy at the desk tried to swipe my card twice, saying that it didn’t work the first time. He even went so far as to ask me if I was sure I had money in my account. I had to pull up my banking site and show him the charge had gone through. Then there was a strong odor of marijuana in the elevator. It was almost overpowering.
When I got to my room, I thought at first that the card wasn’t working. The gentleman already inside the room then told me «I believe you have the wrong room». At the front desk, the guy apologized and said that he’d just given me the wrong room number, but the right key-​card. When I finally got to the right room, I will admit that it was clean, but in need of some updates.
The worst thing about this hotel has to be its location. It shares a parking lot with a 24hr convenience store/​gas station. At first I thought this would be okay, tight on parking but a short walk to get anything I might need from the store. Then I saw what I know were two drug transactions and what was possibly a prostitute being picked up.
Long story short, No. Do Not Stay Here. Ever.

I would not stay here ever again. Homeless men were arguing behind the hotel when I parked. A fellow «hotel stayer» saw us carrying a bottle of alcohol to our room and kept begging us for «just a cup». Got to the room and it was not what I expected. Tv is on top of the closet. Looked like it was going to fall any moment. We were given double beds instead of the queen we asked for. There was gum stuck to the mirror/​headboard. you definitely get what you pay for.

I completely agree with all the previous comments about dirty carpeting, cigarette stains and odor on everything, fixtures that don’t work, stains and hair on the sheets and in the bathroom, thin walls and noisy neighbors, moldy air conditioner… this is a rotten, scary place to stay. Microtel built it’s brand by offering small, basic rooms – but that were scrupulously clean and well maintained. This franchise redefines the Microtel brand, and I think Microtel had better keep a closer eye on its’ franchisees before it’s too late to save the brand.

this was one of the worst hotels i have ever stayed in. there were stains on the walls, discolored carpet, the bathtub once had a hole in it that was patched up with a tile caucked over it. the only reason i stayed in this hotel was because i couldn’t find any cheaper hotels in the area. i payed $ 65 dollars before tax, $ 73 after. worst worst hotel ever.

Despite the great price ($ 45 with tax when booked online — others nearby were at least $ 30 more), I would not stay here ever again. Yes, I was expecting a small room and who wouldn’t with a name like Microtel. The bed was comfortable. The wi-​fi worked okay. The work desk area had two power outlets and a somewhat comfortable chair. The bath was clean and stocked with towels. There is a small microwave and a small fridge with the coffee maker. I also saw a TV that I didn’t use. So for that, they would have gotten three or even four stars.
But I have to take everything else off because of the problems. Starting with the noise that woke me up at 3:00. My room (on the first floor) was below the rain gutter on the roof and the water was draining two stories to land on my air conditioner. I managed to get back to sleep but the fire alarm that went off at 4:30 and three more times in the next five minutes. With the pouring rain, I decided I’d rather die in a cheap hotel than go outside and get wet. I went back to sleep, only to be woken at 6:00 when the bedside clock went off. This one was my fault — I forgot to check it. But dang, that really is something the housekeeping staff should have done. Then the noise of the door to the parking lot that was very close to my room — twice did folks decide that in the hallway was a great place to carry on a conversation and the door to my room didn’t block out any of it. Tyrell and his partner are headed west on I-​40 to Knoxville. The other couple was making Atlanta plans. Fantastic!
As for the housekeeping staff, I checked the towels before using them. Two of them went right onto the floor when I found some short curlies from a previous guest. At least the big (not really, but the biggest) was clean of stray hairs and it smelled of having been washed.
Free hot breakfast had a few things, but it was all high carb stuff. Waffles and toast and cereals. No, thanks.
So if you want a cheap, comfortable and loud room. Stay here. If you want something else, head down the highway.

For starters I used the free parking for 14 days with purchase of a 1 night stay.
The driver of the shuttle on the way to the airport had no sense of safety whatsoever. He drove through a red light and also went above the speed limit all the way to my airport.
On the way back from the airport my friend called and requested a shuttle back to the hotel. The lady told her it would take about 15 minutes for the shuttle to arrive. (The hotel was only 0.5 miles away from the airport.) After another half and hour and still waiting outside in the cold for the shuttle, she called again. Once more the lady said it would be about 15 minutes until the shuttle arrived. Finally after about 20 minutes the shuttle arrived and this time the driver was much better.
Once at the hotel, check-​in was easy. The room was actually not too bad for the price we paid ($ 75). I rate it low due to the severity of how long we waited on the way back for the shuttle as well as my safety not being cared for by the hotel driver the first time. Luckily there was no snow on the ground or rain while we were going or there could have been an accident.
