I stayed in room 205 about a month ago. I saw that someone else who stayed in this same room more recently posted a picture of a red splatter on the bathroom doorframe that was there last month when I was and at the time, given the look of the hotel, I had to work hard to convince myself that it wasn't blood spatter. I had booked the room on my phone from a rest-stop, sight-unseen, on the Choice Hotels website and, when I got there a few hours later I had to sit in my car thinking about it because it wasn't at all what I was expecting from a Choice Hotel. But I was really super tired, and I didn't want to drive anymore so I decided to at least check it out. The person working the desk was exceptionally nice, so I can't say anything negative about her. She was great and she’s the only reason I didn't rate it "terrible" instead of just "poor." She put me in 205, which she told me was one of the nicer rooms and she also was kind enough to tell me to find a good parking space early on and not to go anywhere so I wouldn't lose my space because the parking lot was going to really fill up. Heading to my room, the elevator was dirty, and the interior was shabby, but I decided to see the room before I complained, and it turned out that the room itself wasn't horrible. The chair was too gross for me to even consider sitting in and that made the cleanliness of the rest of the room suspect. And then there was that red splatter on that bathroom doorframe that looked like a crime scene photo… But when I pulled the comforter down and inspected the bed linens, they were clean and obviously freshly laundered, and the tub and sink were clean, so I covered the pillows with towels and managed to get a pretty good night's sleep even though I could hear people out in the hallway most of the night. When I left at 5 am, the parking lot was jammed to the gills and there wasn't an empty space where a vehicle would fit anywhere near the place, so I was really glad I had listened to the desk clerk and gone to my room and stayed there other than a quick trip to a vending machine. In summary, I would never stay there again and there is no way in the universe that this place should have a Choice Hotels designation. When they contacted me in July asking me to rate my recent stay I told them that but, judging from the recent reviews and the photos, they obviously haven’t done anything with the info I shared with them. Too bad.
