Room was okay but bathroom sink hadn't been fully cleaned (hair and lipstick). Sheets very wrinkled? Breakfast room was closed but coffee was available. You do have to walk over freeway to access restaurants and supermarket.

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.

Good for a one-night trip.

The man who checked me in was very pleasant. The room itself was on the second floor, as I'd requested. It was clean and large. I thought the bed was comfortable, my husband said it was a bit too soft for him. There wasn't a luggage rack for our suitcase, so I had to place the suitcase on the floor. The sink area was large and well lit. However, there wasn't any soap. I had to go into the bathtub area and get body wash from there to wash my hands at the sink. It would have been nice if they had provided a small bar of soap or body wash at the sink area. There was a sign near the electrical outlet that said "coffee pot OR hair dryer." The motel didn't provide a hair dryer, but I'm guessing they're telling you not to use both at the same time or something bad will happen. They advertised a continental breakfast, but it was actually a bit more than that. They had bread, bagels, muffins (cut into fourths), English muffins, cereal, hard boiled eggs, and yogurt. The only creamer for the coffee was a pump bottle of Coffee Mate flavored creamer or milk. They also had juice. The breakfast was available from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. which was nice. The motel is conveniently located right off the freeway. If I were in the area again for just a one night stay, I'd stay here again. I don't think I'd want to spend a week here, though.

You get what you pay for

The stay was okay for the price. The beds were comfortable. However, the carpet is very old, dirty and it smells. They need to also do a better job at cleaning the restroom. It looked like the floor was not mopped and some of the baseboards were dirty.
