Somewhat Satisfied, Should Have Checked More...
I stayed here while doing a three week training class in Maryland. I give good credit to housekeeping services. However, the rooms smell, the bathtub/shower combo barely drained, the toilet bubbled up on each flush, the faucets are scummy, the walls have numerous patches, my room had a huge whole in the wall that had been covered with a peice of wood 4x3 and then they a shoved a stained, stinky, funky sofa between the bed and the wall to hide the hole. I even asked the owner to remove the skanky sofa, but instead, he raised my rates and told me to get a smaller room versus the one I had stayed in for 22 days with no complaints. The bed was on wooden blocks, the doors have no protection against the abundance of insects that crawl into the rooms, the rooms are barely ventilated and the windows don't open. The continental breakfast is frozen donuts put out each morning to thaw and stale cereal in canisters, and some so so coffee. The employees were fine, but the owner who just happens to own a few other hotels in the area, reminds me of the typical cheap slum lords you find in low-rent cities. For the rates he charges, you could spend a couple of bucks more and get a whole lot more for your money. If you are planning an extended stay, you're better off renting an apartment than paying $80 bucks a night for this place. The area was really nice, no crime, no real headaches. Shopping is close by. That is the only saving grace for this place. The beavers and skunks on the property really add some "out doorseyiness" to the whole thing... I guess. With that said, it's up to you. But, I strongly recommend that you call a friend in the area and have them look for a hotel for you. I do not recommend Northgate Inn and I will not spend company funds on such a place again.
