Needs an Upgrade

The room was large but institutional looking. Cinder block walls with one tiny picture and very very outdated lighting. They did have a gas fireplace that was nice but it was linked to the thermostat, so you could only enjoy it if your room was cold or it would turn off. The WIFI did not work. I called the front desk and asked them to reset their modem to fix the problem and was told there was no problem. I was scared of the shower. Felt I would be worse off by taking a shower. The price was right! The location was perfect. I did like the sound of the river running outside our window. Had a small fridge and a working microwave.

Worst Vacation Thanks to Home Hotel owner

My sister and I, both grown, 9-5 jobs, independant home-owners, and students were treated with disgusting disrespect by the owner and the owners "regulars" our neighboring hotel guests. We were given an 11 o'clock "bed time", and when we were talking past that deadline we were threated with a call to the cops. When we did fall asleep we were continually disrupted by the "regulars" next to us at 130 AM knocking at our door to confront us about how rude and unthoughtful we were of other guests, and again at 7 am with a very angry pound on our paper-thin room-joining doors, just to again remind us of how rude WE were being for talking past 11 pm the previous night. The following morning we went to ask the owner if we could move to a room where we wouldn't clash with the other guests and we were literally yelled at by the owner, telling us that his regulars are important to him and we need to be curtious. There were no other rooms available for our already paid for the coming night. So we gathered what pillows we could to put between the doors to hopefully muffle some noise that evening. We knew we didn't plan on going to bed at 11 on our vacation. Not that we really were going to plan a party in the un-decorated dull room, however we might make a noise after 11pm and didn't want to have a visit from the police. We ended up going out that night and actually ran into our "regular" neighbors and they came to confront us yet AGAIN. We had made an effort to get out of the room that night to not disturb them. They told us that they had talked to the owner and they all laughed that we went to "rat" on them. They continued to yell at us in the local bar, then stormed out. We enjoyed the rest of our evening at the bar, and got back about 130 or 2 and were so worried about making any noise and after getting out of the shower we decided this was rediculous so we packed up our car and left right then. We paid for that night already and though it wasn't much it wasn't worth one penny spent. We waisted money for the second night, as well as any kind of pleasent stay the first night. This was absolutly the biggest waste of my money. The rooms are cheap, and I guess you get what you pay for. Even if our stay was pleasent the room is not inviting at all. It is painted white cynder blocks for the walls no clock no radio, no pictures, nothing at all, and a joining door that is very very thin, might as well not even be there. I would have gladly spent another $10-$20 a night to have been able to enjoy at least one night of a pleasent nights rest on my vacation. I just hope the "regulars" are worth it to the owner. Do not go here unless you know the owner if you want fair or even humane treatment.

Home Hotel odd punishment?

We paid $60 for the night at the Home Hotel and Motel. There is a tub, but no shower. There is a refrigerator in the room but makes a loud buzzing sound -- very disruptive to sleep. But, the worst was when the owners turned the room AC off in the middle of the night. It is summer and still hot in the evenings. When we called 3 in the morning, we were told that another room made a complaint about our room so the AC was turned off. Not sure what the complaint was about as we spent literally 20 minutes in the room before falling asleep, and there were still about 10 kids running around in the parking lot. BUT even if someone DID complain mistakenly, shouldn't the owner call the room? Is turning off the room AC some sort of weird small town punishment? When I asked about the complaint in the morning, she came up with another story about faulty wiring. Can���t say that���s anymore reassuring.
