Okay, good price nice area

Our stay was last minute arrangement. Hotel was clean. Street was loud, didnt notice the complementary ear plugs until check out. Hot tub was a residential size and uncomfortably secluded. Pool was unmentionable.

Just okay

The cleanliness was fine, the front office staff was great. We were upstairs facing the gas station, on a Sunday night. It was loud outside, at night people were coming and going. Just people closing their doors reverberates a lot. We woke up several times. It is cheaper than our preferred hotel so next time we will save up.

I found mold spores throughout room and bathroom. I didn’t notice it right away, in fact not until the next day sadly. The AC unit smelled like mold which sent me into a panic the next morning as my husband has asthma. I started looking around to find black mold forming on the walls and around the door. When we woke after sleeping in the room both my husband and I didn’t feel good. The room was moist, stuffy and smelled like mold. My husband and I both were congested, puffy eyes and my husband felt his breathing was restricted. After notifying the front desk as well as showed the lady pictures, she apologized, hoped we would feel better and handed me a receipt. Even after this horrible stay we are not being refunded at all. I would not recommend staying at Continental Inn.
