Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 27, 2009

I've stayed here several times and have reviewed this hotel before. This time the cable was completely bad on the tv to the point where it was pointless to attempt to watch it. There must have been a new housekeeper because when we checked in to the room the was no toilet paper and when the room was serviced the next day there were no washcloths. There are always simple fixes except for the crappy cable. I'm not always staying there to "do business" out on the town, but the cable is part of the room rate and theirs sucks terribly. As said before, I would continue to stay. Oh, again in this room the heating/cooling unit knob didn't work right. I've been in many of there rooms and that seems to be a common problem. Because I know this, I expect it. No big deal when you're used to it, but they do ALL need to be fixed.

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 3, 2009

I've stayed at this Travelodge several times over the past two months and for some reason there's always something wrong in the room. Could be the gap under the door letting in cold air, the toilet continuously running (I fixed that), towel bar falling off, thermostat knob not working right, color on the tv going in and out, bad tv reception, and probably something else. Overall, the rooms are comfortable, no problems with the neighbohood, and front desk staff are helpful. Would definitely continue to stay and thanks to hotels.com for saving me a bunch of money after spending way too much without using this site.

This hotel was close enough to the capitol area. For the price I had paid, I would have thought that a breakfast was included, instead, they have a Subway restaurant "convieniently located just steps from your room" as if the price of the hotel wasn't enough they are nickle and diming you. The neighborhood was sketchy(shady people hanging around), it appeared that there was a family living in the room right next to me. The walls are so thin it was easy to hear people having sex. Not very good for a family trip.

First room upon arrival was large and clean but the internet connection, via ethernet cable, did not work. I told the front desk and the manager appeared at the room, identified the outlet, connected the wire but didn't want to deal with the reality that there was no signal available. He walked away in a huff stating that he was "too busy" for this issue. I then went to the front desk and obtained another room. The internet connection worked but discovered that the outlets at the base of the table lamp did not. It was necessary to purchase a multi-outlet device so that there were sufficient outlets to accommodate all my electric devices. Recommend that you check everything before unpacking.
