This is litterly the most disgusting hotel room I've ever seen. I checked out ealry, only staying one night. The staff told me id get a refund but never actually checked me out so I was charged for all 4 nights, when i went back the protery owner was able to sort it out so hopefully I'll receive a refund.

Horrible Place...RUN

What a mess. Zero customer service or professionalism. All doors were propped open upon arrival, at 3:15 PM with no one at the desk. Someone was painting the lobby and cussing the entire time. No one "working" was in any kind of uniform, more like lounge clothes, with one employee fully barefoot. Employees verbally arguing with each other while we were trying to check in. Even though check in time was 3:00, our room wasnt ready. We were given keys for one room in a highly used, worn, and torn key envelope. We were given a different room before we even made it down the hall as the other room was cleaned first. Based on the discussions amongst the staff, it seemed more like a giant trap house than a hotel. Guests were stepping over vaccuum cleaner cords and construction materials to get to their rooms. Our room was serviceable, but not nice by any means, and the ripped out smoke detector and missing door latch were very concerning. There were poorly patched holes, mis-matched paint, and water damage in the bathroom. We vowed to not put anything near our faces during our stay. We checked in, left for an event, returned late, slept, and left as soon as possible in the morning. The very sorry excuse for a "continental breakfast" was easily skipped....some Cheerios and half a loaf of bread by the toaster would have violated our "nothing near our faces" rule. The light in the bathroom was flickering like a strobe light. Spend a few more dollars and find somewhere else to stay.

This place is probably okay for many but it was not very clean - property was so run down- staff unkempt. I felt like a fight could break out at anytime- not a nice environment.

Homeless shelter

First and foremost something should have been said to me or on your site that this location was being used as a homeless shelter overflow. I had no idea. The fact that it took 5 to 7 minutes wait at the desk at 3:00 PM to get checked in only to find that the front desk clerk was also the person cleaning the rooms and she had her 2 kids running around outside the room. The sheets and towels were stained with god knows what. I ended up buying my own sheet and blanket to use. I stayed in that place for 3 days. It was hell. Unfortunately for me being a visitor to this town and the fact that I was staying with friends and got very sick i had to get a hotel room at the last minute. This was not in my budget so i took the cheapest room i could find. That is how i ended up in your hotel. Only by the grace of god there were no bed bugs. If you actually read this i think a refund would not be out of the realm of possibility.

The facility is a filthy mess being run by clueless unkempt individuals. It is like a scene from a nightmare. Absolutely a dump! No one should ever stay there! I left after waiting for over 50 minutes while three different people tried to get me checked in. I asked to see the room, and promptly decided it would be impossible to sleep there so I left, and thankfully the Holiday Inn Express had 2 rooms left, and I was able to stay there.

We were very happy to see there was an appleby restaurant next to the motel. What I did not like was our room - the bed was not change, had the receptionist to bring some sheets. The heating system was not working so therefore she brought us a heater. The place would be fabulous if it would be upgraded.

This place was FILTHY. They have a toddler running around bare foot only in a diaper. Staff is not very clean. The facility is FILTHY. It feels like you’re walking into a horror scene. The facility stinks. The one shower didn’t even work. We had one thin cardboard feeling blanket on our bed. The sheets were stained. There were holes in the walls. The light fixture didnt even have a cover on it. There wasn’t a smoke detector in our room. The hallways had dirty linens and trash all over. It smelt like cigarettes and filth. The elevator was expired. This place just was not a good experience at all. This was supposed to be a relaxing evening before a big day and it was nothing short of a nightmare. Never again. The check in desk was disgusting. We waited 20 minutes to check in because staff was somewhere else. You had to call a phone number for someone to check you in. This place was very sketchy.

Terrible stay won’t be back

Waited 20 mins for someone to show up to check me in. Listened to them curse & argue about recording there time. The place is dirty. The blankets was paper thin. The heat in the room didn’t work was about 55 degrees all night. There was such a line in the morning to check out cause they was out smoking that I just left.

The people did not act like they knew what they were doing. We came back from an excursion the second day and our key would not open the door. The lady had to make 4 keys and only one finally worked. The people seemed quite nice but need some training. I felt rhey were trying ro upgrade but were not doing a good job of it. The mattress in the room as well as the tv needs replaced. The ice machine we were told was not working. The shower was the best thing about rhe whole stay. There was a coffee srain on the bedspread. As for breakfast there was one box of cold cereal. A few small waffles and pancakes for the toaster. A gallon of milk and some syrup. No knives. The price of the hotel and the shower are my two good comments. We will never stay at this Meadville, PA location ever again.
