The entire property was humid to the point of feeling damp. Our room was stuffy and sweaty. Even the armchair felt wet. I doubt the room had been used for days and the air conditioner was not on and moving cool air as it normally is when we entered the space. The room had a noticeable odor related to the humidity that persisted for the 15 hours we were there.
The fitness center had working equipment but it was also being used as a storage area for a big rack of old window blinds, cast off casement, and other general items destined for the dumpster. The rack was parked adjacent to a wall mounted tv that had long since been disconnected.
The breakfast was a disappointment. There was standard southern fare: sausage and gravy over biscuits. That would be a fine thing if it weren’t essentially the only alternative. There was no fruit. No toast or bagels were available. The small boxes of cereal were all targeted at children: Frosted Flakes, coco puffs, and the like. The woman at the desk, feet away from the breakfast area, noted that the selection was what it was and she wasn’t responsible for the lack of other non-sugar alternatives.
All in all, this was the poorest property we’ve booked in several years over many extended road trips. Why did we stay? Because we had booked online through Expedia after having dutifully compared reviews and prices among competing properties in the area. We were traveling through and simply stuck it out.
