Yuck!

Booked last minute; arrived at 11:15 pm. Hotel had great ratings. Room 306 STUNK. I thought I could manage for one night, worst night! In the light of day, I believe there was a water leakage issue and what I was smelling was mold.

We were in a bind and had to stay at this hotel for the weekend for graduation. All places in the area hike up the price for those times and it was ridiculous. Comfort Inn was dirty all around. Our room had a musty smell to it, the AC didn't work, and the sheets were stained. Not a great expereince.

Pretty decent stay

The front desk Lady at check in was awesome!! The bed was probably the most comfortable hotel bed ever! The room itself could've use a little updating,cleaning the ceilings. But also booked to go back in October so it wasn't that bad

Best bang for your buck, affordable with great service. Clean rooms and good breakfast. Plus they only put a one dollar hold for incidental's. I have been at other hotels that put 100 to 300 dollar hold. They were only a buck. Awesome place.

If there was a zero rating, I would give it that. The room that they gave us reeks dog pee. We have stayed in pet friendly hotels, but it did not smell like that. We did not request for a pet-friendly room but they assigned us that and when we requested for one that is not, they told us that there were none available. We understand that it’s graduation season, but for the amount that we paid for the room, it was just unacceptable. It was a health hazard, to say the least! We even bought our own cleaning supplies to sanitize the room, since their housekeeping was gone at 6pm. The bed sheets were worn, the curtains were stained and the floors were sticky. We even had the shower curtain replaced since we thought that it was the culprit, but to no avail. We consumed a whole can of Lysol, a bottle of disinfectant and a whole pack of Clorox wipes, but the pee smell won’t go away. We felt that the pee odor has seeped into the floor and the vents that kids can’t tolerate it anymore. I have been complaining to the front desk everyday, but it doesn’t seem like they could smell it since they’re nose blind. They gave us a refund for one night, which we think is not enough to cover the aggravation and inconvenience it caused. I don’t recommend this hotel.
