Black mold

Sadly a brand new refurbished room had Black mold in the bathroom, a big spot. Light switch that didn't work, bathroom plug that had no power. To top that all off the manager was smoking at the main entrance which stunk up going to the office.

Staff wasn't rude, but not very friendly. The room has recently been remodeled, but some things were not completed or not done correctly. The room wasn't dirty, but housekeeping needs to pay closer attention to things. Little things were left unattended. Not a horrible place to stay for a night.

Disliked: Amenities
Noisy , bathroom fecal matter on toilet, no breakfast as advertised, tub soap tray minuscule, no stopper in bathtub, no ice available,big gaps on door, no phones in room had to put clothes back on and walk to office, window was unlocked when we got in room. The first room deadbolt wouldn’t lock and door sweep was not on missing screws,moved us to another room so we had to repack etc.I gave manager this list. Hotel is in process of being remodeled. I was going to rent 3 rooms next weekend but talked to friends and they chose to find another place. The only positive thing I could say is that bedding, pillows and bed was very comfortable. I’m not blaming gal at counter or manager as she said she would pass on info to owner.I requested some compensation but said I’d have to go through Expedia as I booked with you. We had been in the car for hours and just wanted to have a bedtime cocktail and had to get dressed and go to office, no ice machine😡 someone had left an open bag of ice, she didn’t know who so I got enough for a couple of drinks. Also frig had no freezer so leftover ice melted.

What a pleasent experience. The Varsity is on the move. They are sinking some money into this place and it shows. My room was clean, spacious, quiet and completly remodeled. All for $70.00 a night. Friendly staff and a clean well light parking lot was a bonus.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were fine, but the room and facilities were awful, even for a freeway-side motel. The bathroom was dirty with holes in the walls, the shower curtain rod wasn't attached to the wall, and there was mold around the floor trim. The exterior door did not seal properly, you could see light around all for edges. Since the door faced the freeway this meant LOUD traffic noise all night. Also, the prices seemed to be jacked up for an event in the town that weekend, adding insult to injury....

Bed has a finger print of red stuff on it; not sure if it was blood or what, but a “clean” room ready to occupy shouldn’t have that. Also, shower had long black hair in the tub, I’m a bald man. AC didn’t really work, room was 80+ all night.

Hotel checked me in before I arrive. This hotel should not open it’s still under construction and renovation. Tried to give me a room just finish, full of construction dust and heavy paint smell. I did not stay and get my refund from Expedia.
