I needed time to collect my thoughts, so this could be accurate and fair. We stayed in the highest level storage unit for two nights. First night was on the way to another destination, and second night was on our return trip home.
If you've stayed there before, you "get" the "storage unit" comment. First night, we enter the reception area only to find an escapee from The School for Unprofessionals. For heaven's sake, dress appropriately! As she took screenshots of my husband's ID, she proceeded to read off the "rules." I've seen Miranda rights given in a better manner.
Fast forward to our "luxurious" room and experience. As we pull into the garage, you notice that the iron and ironing board are there. Odd, right?
You enter the suite, and the chlorine hits you like a brick wall. Hello instant headache! The desk clerk rattled off something about not leaving the dry sauna open or on because alarms would sound and they'd be forced to come over. Did I mention that the chlorine smell was a whopper?
Next, climb the stairs to the bed & bath level. The "luxurious" bed/bath. A few uber cheap light fixtures don't make this luxurious. I suspect they picked these up at a NoTell Motel going out of business sale. The bathroom was large, but nothing special. One shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion for two adults isn't enough. On the return trip, I asked about bubble bath for the tub, and was pointed to s tray on the counter of the front desk that held about less than half an ounce of "aromatherapy" liquid. It's yours for $2. Really?
Back to arrival. The bed had rose petals on it, and turns out they were polyester, and used multiple times. I began picking them up one by one to keep them neat. Should have just tossed them on the floor. There were two trays of chocolate covered strawberries on the glass table, but no water. You'd think they could have a couple of complimentary bottles of water, especially when paying their rates and the $60 for the strawberries. They did have a small fridge under the counter in the bathroom and the waters, sodas had a charge. Good thing I always have a case of water in the trunk.
Can you say, "Nickel and diming?"
The room was far too dark, and the two chairs at the glass table were unsteady. The fireplace is less than "roaring" and turns itself off if it gets too hot, and then beeps. Beep... beep... beep.... BEEP!
TV turns on pretuned to The Playboy channel. Ummmm..... no thank you. The bed was comfortable, but it's so high that I had to jump onto it. They really need a small step stool. They could easily find a plastic one at a toy store. Put a sticker on it, and Voila! "Luxury."
Ready for the creepy factor? No windows. Our return trip was on a Sunday night, so bright and early on Monday morning you have bulldozers, big trucks, and other heavy equipment outside. They sounded just inches away from your walls. Did I mention this "luxurious" getaway is smack in the middle of an industrial park? No, I'm NOT kidding!
Most hotels have a 3pm check-in and noon check-out. If you'd like that, it's $25 extra for each. Their check-in is 4pm, which wasn't a factor for us, and check-out at 11am. We paid the $25 for 1pm.
Finally....Breakfast! A small basket of 2 mushy and soggy MICROWAVED small Danish rolls and two muffins. 2 small bottles of Tropicana orange juice, and a carafe of coffee. Coffee was cold.
I don't know WHO gave this place all the positive reviews, but they could have done better at the new Comfort Inn just around the corner outside of the Industrial Park. There's a GREAT Speedway Gas station with a small convenience store that has plenty of snacks, fun food, and a surprisingly nice selection of beers and wines.
This place could have at least had a small desk, chair and lighting for those who need to put on a touch of makeup or take out contact lenses.
Did I mention it was creepy? I told my husband that it felt like "West World" .... as if being watched, and the NO WINDOWS! Save your $$$, because this was a HUGE disappointment.
I have several photos I'd like to share.
