No caffeine coffee in the morning. Broken down vehicles with flat tire in parking lot. Mowed around all summer. Trailers with junk on the property. This is a brand new area and this made Microtel look trashy

Booked a handicap assessable room, why would they be located on any other floor than the 1st. If a fire happened how would someone in a wheelchair take the 4 flight of stairs to get out of building? Also shower head for hand held was broke, and the seat for the tub but no way to keep water from running off seat onto floor as curtain doesn’t cover it cause seat sticks to side of tub. Kind of little things but some safety things to keep in mind when accommodating handicap people.

Bed was comfortable. Room lighting was poor, too dim in vanity/sink area. Towels were very thin, need to be discarded. Toilet was difficult to flush & was leaking. Breakfast items were ok, coffee wasn't that good. The overall experience was just ok, and we were glad to be leaving. The location was good & basic improvements could be made!
