Budget Host Crestview Inn

Motel needs improvement. Numerous issues, big and small. Bathroom floor was filthy, causing socks to turn black. Shower mechanism required a lot of physical strength to operate. Air conditioner was so loud that it drowned out tv. Have to walk across parking lot to use microwave and get coffee. Regular coffee very watery. Fridge unplugged when he came in. We had to put our perishable food in ice buckets until the fridge became cold.

After checking in we were told where to park so that we wouldn't block the tent with the golf cart. The golf cart tent seems to be a very big deal with the employees. I would move it so it is not an issue. The power ***** that the tv was plugged into (behind the cabinet) was not turned on so the tv wouldn't turn on. Took awhile to figure out. The TV would not turn on/off with the remote. Volume could not be adjusted with the remote either. The refrigerator was turned off and not plugged in so even though I turned it on inside it didn't cool off until I figured out that it was unplugged. This should be ready and cold when guests check in. The toilet leaked with every flush (luckily into the bowl) because someone tried to fix a crack and didn't do it well. The seat was also ready to fall off. If you are not going to have housekeeping for people with multiple night stays then you should give a discount for the nights with no service. The window sill in the bathroom was filthy. When it gets cold I can't believe that the little electric heater provided will keep the room and bathroom warm. You are competing against the big chain motels and I think you are losing the race.

Engineering Day A good value for Engineering Weekend with other lodging asking for a lot more per night.

I love the Budget Host Crestview Inn and have stayed there whenever I go to the Soo. This has been an ideal place to stay because it's close to downtown and it's affordable. The problem is that the place is really showing its age now (and I would have described it as old a decade ago). It's clean and the beds are decently comfortable, but it's so old and they desperately need to upgrade appliances. The air conditioner/heater was squeaky in a way that suggests it's on its last leg and we couldn't even run it because of the high pitched noise it made. It got really humid in the room but I'm glad it wasn't winter because that would have been more challenging to deal with. The plug on the mini fridge was missing part of the outer casing so you could see the wires inside. I think this might have been my last time staying here until they start doing upgrades.

Booked a queen bed what we got was a full size bed and was so soft I can barely walk today but I do have back problems
