For the amount of money you pay for one night stays, youd think the pool would be clean the place outside of it was full of empty beer bottles and cigarette buts, the inside of the hotel was just dirty, the walls the floors, it just wasn't a good experience

This property was actually even better than its rating. The only thing that needed attention were the doorknobs, they are hard to deal with and noisy to use and should all be replaced.

The beds are very high, difficult to get in or out and I am 6’.

The fire alarm is broken. Front desk told me that the ones in the room are fine so not to worry. But when I did the chat with Expedia (who called the desk) they lied and told Expedia that it’s an ice maker. No hotel ice maker has a beep that imitates a fire alarm. Even if that were true, it does not account for the SECOND beep coming from somewhere in the desk area or hallway. You can hear them overlapping. It’s move in weekend so we literally can’t go anywhere else.
It’s also not well maintained and I’m honestly surprised that Choice hotels allows them naming rights

I was very happy with my recent stay at Comfort Inn. The location was convenient to everything, the room was very clean and updated, the staff was helpful and friendly and the breakfast was better than expected. The room had a microwave and mini fridge which was helpful. The bed was very comfortable. The room had everything we needed. We had a great stay!

One of the better places to stay
Have stayed at this hotel below. Really enjoyed the bed. Definitely showing it’s age but fine for an overnight stay. Breakfast was so so quality-wise (too carby/sugary) but there were eggs and English muffins so that was good. Coffee was good too.

Room was dirty and smelled like smoke. There was mold on the ceiling, and the light that shined into the room made it hard to sleep even with the torn shade. It was way over priced and disgusting. Don’t stay here!
