I stayed here, because, other than Hotel Thoroughbred, it seems to be the only game in town.
There were some positive points. The staff members were very nice. I have no complaints there. The breakfast was fine. They had a good selection; I was just in a hurry and grabbed something on the "go." I liked that coffee seemed to be available whenever a guest wanted it.
There were some things I didn't like, though. First of all, this facility is very outdated. It still has carpet, and it looks like it came out of the 1970's or 1980's (or maybe earlier). The old look makes one initially think that it might not be clean. Upon inspection, I noted that the bathroom, bed, etc. appeared clean. What was not clean was a chair that was in the room. It looked like someone had sat on it in dirty pants and gotten dirt on it that just could not be removed. The dirt actually appeared to be ground into the chair.
I've seen some old motels like this in my travels that have been updated to be really nice. That's what the owners of this property need to do. They need to throw out that chair. I'd rather have no chair than to have the dirty chair. They need to pull up the carpet and replace it with linoleum.
Furthermore, in this OLD motel, there was a bathtub that looked like it had "jets." A bathtub jacuzzi is a luxury that would have been very out of place in this room, but I tried them to see if they worked. They did not. That tub needs to be replaced with a shower.
Also, I'm not really sure how safe this part of town is, because I checked in after dark, and there was a guy behind a glass who took my credit card and gave me my key for the night. The next morning, the main lobby was open, but, at night, it was locked down pretty tight, and that made me as a guest feel nervous about the area.
The price on the hotel room was much more than it should have been. This hotel room should have been maybe $50-$60 per night. I suppose that, because there were various events going on in Paris and nearby areas, hotel prices had been elevated. I think this in itself is wrong, but I realize that a lot of hotel owners do this. That's between them and God. It appears, though, that, even on a regular night, prices would have been much more than the $50-$60 that I suggested in my above statement.
I think this hotel has potential to become a quaint, affordable spot that would match the beauty of the town in which it is located. Until it reaches that potential, however, I have not intention of returning. I'm not sure how it has managed to get a ranking of 4.1, except for the facts that there are a few positives about it (as mentioned above). Those positives did not make up for that dirty chair in the room.
