“Decent for Choice Hotel”

Note: for chain hotels, I rate 4 when it's up to chain standards, 5 is for those that are above.

Note: for chain hotels, I rate 4 when it's up to chain standards, 5 is for those that are above. Here we have a Comfort Inn that's up to Choice Hotels standards--but in some ways better, other ways less so. This comfort Inn is located behind a Super J fuel station with attached Denny's Restaurant--which may be a convenience, Unlike many Comforts, it's only 2 floors and has no elevator. Happily, we were able to get a first-floor room, as our elderly knees and hips do poorly on a stairwell. The room was more spacious than the typical Comfort Inn. It was a twin queen room, which also had a full sofa, a desk, and the usual unit with mini-fridge, microwave, drawers, and TV. Wi-fi was robust. There were two downsides in my opinion. The room is arranged with the sink in the bedroom area, not in the bathroom--so if you wake earlier than your partner as I do, getting ready in the morning means not shaving before the shower. Why designers think that is a good idea, I'll never ffigure out. The customery free breakfast had the usual items (except no make-your-own waffles?) but when I got to breakfast--admittedly early--the eggs and sausages were cold. So points added for room size, friendly staff, location, sleep quality--points off for poor bath design and cold breakfast. Averages out to a decent Choice for an overnight on your way.

“Comfortable and clean”

Needed one night stay in this area and found Comfort Inn. Had a King suite and the room was excellent size, was clean and had fridge, microwave, flat screen, coffee maker and supplies.

Needed one night stay in this area and found Comfort Inn. Had a King suite and the room was excellent size, was clean and had fridge, microwave, flat screen, coffee maker and supplies. Could not ask for more. The young woman at the check in desk was hospitable and professional. The room was a bit dated, especially the bathroom, but for the price there are no complaints. They had coffee and tea avail all day along with indoor pool and small gym on the first floor. Bonus for me was it is next door to Denny's that was open 24 hours. All in all a good stay, comfortable and quiet and in a good location for my trip. One tip is that if you are using car navigation system it brings you to road with NO entrance to the hotel. You need to go through the gas station and past Denny's through their parking lot to access the hotel. I followed my navigation and ended up on the dead end and blowing out my tire (shredded) - but that's a story for another time!

“Decent stay”

We chose this hotel because it had a room with a whirlpool available and was near where we needed to be for the weekend.

We chose this hotel because it had a room with a whirlpool available and was near where we needed to be for the weekend. It was easy to find but the entrance is a bit confusing as you have to go through the Flying J and Dennys parking lot. Check in was a bit slow as the front desk person seemed to be in training and the person assisting her was having difficulty hearing. Once we got to our room, it was clean and slightly updated. The whirlpool in the room worked well, there was plenty of hot water. We also had a chance to use the pool and hot tub . The hot tub was cloudy and the jets were not great but the pool was clear and almost as warm as the hot tub. The deck needed a cleaning but the water was nice and there were fresh towels available. We slept very well on the comfortable bed. It was quiet too even though the parking area had lots of cars. Breakfast was offered but it wasn't what we usually expect from Comfort Inns. There were the standard dry scrambled eggs and brown and serve sausage links but no waffle irons and no microwave to cook the instant oatmeal. The pastries were stale. We got by with what was there, but if you are looking for a substantial breakfast , plan to go elsewhere. Overall, it was a comfortable stay.
