The Hotel promotes a pool, hot-tub, and a buffet breakfast. These 3 things were the reasons that we booked our room. The pool & hot-tub were green, had a jelly coat, and closed. The breakfast did not include eggs and bacon like their pictures showcase.

We arrived at the Laurel Inn at approximately 6:15pm and noticed the entire neighborhood was without power. The hotel front desk staff informed us that we would be able to check in and access our room, but that the estimated restoration time was 10:30pm. We received our room keys (one of which did not work) and eventually located our room. It was dark aside from some light from the window and very hot with no air conditioning, so we deposited our luggage and drove across town to find a restaurant with power. Upon our return, we were able to turn on the light and notice a number of cleanliness and maintenance issues. These issues included: Stains and rips/tears/holes in the carpet Curtains that did not fully close and were stained red with what I hope was wine or rust A dresser with three drawers, one of which was unusable because it had no handles Hair on the bathtub rim, and a tub that was turning blue Non-functioning bathroom exhaust/shower ventilation Bathroom exhaust/shower ventilation cover held to the ceiling with masking tape TV remote that did not work and TV that didn’t get any channels when turned on manually at 2am, we were startled awake by someone furiously trying to enter our room. After realizing what was going on, I immediately latched the deadbolt. The attempts stopped, only to resume 5 minute later with a person successfully opening the door. We stopped the person before they could enter. The hotel staff had assigned another Guest to our room.

For the price of $150 a night this establishment is very horrible. Front desk receptionist kitchen staff were very friendly. However, the room not only smell awful cigarettes, there cockroaches, and the bed sheets and pillow cases were not replaced with new ones. There were stains, hairs and possible bed bugs due to bite marks I sustained during my stay. I had to despose my clothes that used during my stay due to this incident. Sorry not recommending this place at all for the price. Very disappointed!

"this and that or lose your deposit"

Management has this thing about not returning deposits... Things get more complex if you're using a 3rd party I.e. hotels.com and in respect to deposits. We stayed here under my wife's name around 5 yrs ago and we're still waiting for that deposit. They also use the deposit as leverage to get one to agree to certain things for example: be in the office by 420pm or "lose your deposit" - don't let your dog bark or you will lose your deposit... Etc etc... It gets old...

Did not enjoy my stay

First the pictures on here need to be updated. That place does not look anything like the pictures. The area was dirty. The room was dirty. I'm pretty sure the young women there were engaging inappropriate activities. The clerk was rude to my child when she requested new towels.

good spot for a short/easy stay

Perfectly adequate, clean and simple. Slightly more than I'd like to pay, but we were there on a busy weekend with a big expo event nearby. The rooms were clean, service friendly and it felt safe and comfortable.
