I wanted to stay closer to my son and family so I had a choice of Hampton Inn or Staybridge Suites. There are many Hampton Inns in the area so I thought I’d try Staybridge. We recently moved away from the area, so when we return for appoin**ents or whatever, we normally stay at Normandy Farm Hotel a few miles away and we pick up our 6 yr old granddaughter to come swim then take her out to dinner. This hotel advertised an info-or pool but after we got there, we found out the pool wasn’t open. She was quite disappointed. When we checked in, the room had a pretty bad odor, it was like a cheap cleaning product or deodorizer. The room was worn, paint was chipped, refrigerator was rusty and stained on themselves. The desk chair was arm wax broken, the fake leather finish on the seat was totally worn off. (the same worn material was found on all of the chairs in the lounge/dining area.)
The tub had a constant drip, the soap pumps in the shower didn’t pump properly. The hairdryer only worked in one setting and when I looked at it, the side of the unit was melted through from an electrical short.
Obviously we won’t be staying there again. I’m not sure if we’ll try the Hampton Inn that shares the parking lot or just go back to where we know it’s clean, safe, and smells good.
