Unsafe, dirty, DON’T STAY.
Terrible experience that we didn’t even stay. I left within an hour checking in because the room was dirty. I decided to book outside of Hotels.com because they weren’t rectifying the problem. The fireplace didn’t work. The TV didn’t work and the toilet looked like it was used and never cleaned. The floors were sticky and the carpet was dirty and falling apart. Lastly there was marijuana in the drawer between the two beds.

Bad room, decent service
We had a little trouble with the check-in. My fault, it took a little talking to to get them to work with me but eventually did. Got to our room. It was really bad smelled horrible, found piles of garbage in the closet. They did get us into another room that was better but still not very clean. Would not stay again

Only 1 night stay
The room for the most part looked clean
Furniture is old. I couldn't get the remote control to work, i called front desk and the kid said maintenance is not available until tomorrow. Thank goodness i was just there for 1 night. The mattress was not comfortable, it had blood stains! That was nasty.

We love staying at Laurel Inn, however the floors are nasty. I take my own mop for the rooms without carpet, this time we stayed in a suite and it was carpeted, after my granddaughter got out of the bathtub and ran to her mommy her little feet were black.

Disappointed with our stay
It’s a very basic motel. I thought it would be fun to get us a room with a fireplace since we never go out but got into our room to discover the fireplace didn’t work. We called the front desk and they said they’d send maintenance but no one ever came. I’m disappointed I paid more for that feature. Also, there were ants on the bathroom counter, brown mystery splatters all over the back of the bathroom door and an extremely dusty coffee maker that looked like it hadn’t been used for an extended length of time. The bed was comfy though it was hard to sleep with our room facing the busy highway. I don’t think we’d stay again.

Not happy
The hotel is in bad need of refurbishing. It's age is showing in the most negative way.
