Nordic Inn

This was one of the worst “hotels”( if you can call it that) that we have ever stayed in. We arrived at 2:00.. check in is 3:00.. There was NO ONE on the premises. A sign saying come back later. When we came back , there were several people in line.. all of us shocked at what the internet represented and what the reality of this place is. The girl sitting behind the desk was playing on her computer.. She looked up when I asked if we could check in .. She actually said.. “ Oh I didn’t realize you wanted to check in!” Everyone in the room was standing there waiting to check in .. we couldn’t believe she didn’t realize that!!!To say it is a dump, is an understatement! The place is old and run down.. The rooms pictured on the website are NOTHING like the actual rooms! The “ included” breakfast is - a small compact refrigerator where YOU take out a “ frozen” Jimmy Dean sausage sandwich and microwave it yourself. There was a pot of coffee. We had to stay two nights.. Breakfast is supposed to be from 6:30. - 9:30. We arrived the second morning at 8:00. There was no one there. No food out, nothing to eat! I went into the “kitchen” and took 2 sandwiches out of the freezer so we could eat!!

We stayed in the Summit Residence which is up the hill from main hotel. When we opened the door to our room - the Red Lady- I saw a bottle of disinfectant on the bed and the room reeked of disinfectant even though a box fan was on full blast. We called the front desk and they said we could move to the Butte room which was smaller and right off the common area and kitchen so we could hear people coming and going early in morning. The worst part was the windows were sealed shut which caused the room to be unbearably hot even with the noisy box fan on. Also there are many steps from the car to the room so getting luggage in and out wasn’t pleasant. The breakfast consists of packaged food that you buy at a gas station. For the price of the room, all of this is unacceptable.

Sadly this property was a disappointment due to lack of maintenance, updates & safety concerns. Safety concerns included door lock that wasn't secure & no fire extinguisher. Below the sign that said "In case of fire, fire extinguisher here" was a holder with no fire extinguisher. Lock on door was old type with key, no deadbolt and no inside latch. Husband locked door but was still able to open door with a hard push from the outside. Strike plate & lock mechanism totally inadequate. In terms of property condition/lack of maintenance - no hot water, dirty grout in bathtub, tattered furniture, very uncomfortable lumpy bed, no A/C, kleenex, toilet paper & towels felt like sandpaper, tv but no live channels - just what comes “free” with Roku, thin walls - could hear those beside and above us until late, poor breakfast options, and general lack of maintenance/few updates possibly since it opened. Contacted the number listed at the front desk about lack of hot water for shower that evening. They checked & said hot water tank for our room was leaking and couldn’t get someone to fix until next day. She offered to pay for us to go to “gym” at another hotel to shower - $35 each. Not convenient and who wants to lug their stuff to shower at a gym? Staff was friendly & accommodating, but only so much they could do without major updating/maintenance. On a positive note - the coffee was good. Not recommended unless you are out of options!
