Suburban Extended Stay Hotel Evansville, Evansville

The people were very friendly and we had a great stay! Very clean, as good as anyone else in the area. Slightly smokey smell, but I come from a state that bans all smoking inside so when I enter a building that someone can smoke in, it's always noticeable. It was nice to have a hot breakfast option, quality of the breakfast was average. Although the hotel is not a 5 star hotel, I gave it 5 stars because of the value. When compared to comparable hotels in the same price range, it is head and shoulders above the rest and I would absolutely stay there again.

Paint peeling off the outside of the building. The lobby smelled mildew. I asked and he said they hadn't had any water damage. The door to my room was hard to open. I had to kick it with my foot. The room also smelled very bad. I had to go to the store and buy candles and frebreeze to fumigate the room. I should have charged them for fumigation service. I am certain the room smelled better when I left! The lamps were tarnished fake gold and the furniture was old and stained. The blankets had cigarette burns on them. This hotel is VERY old and needs to either torn down or major renovation. Or they cold just rent it by the hour. Location is very strange! Sandwiched between 3 car dealerships. Difficult to get to. There is NO elevator. However I got a first floor room.

I have stayed there five years in a row for the Jehovah's Witness Convention. I stayed in 2 other hotels, but Lee Inn has a breakfast buffet to rival any restaurant, friendly and wonderfully helpful employees, and very comfortable, home like rooms. The only reason I couldn't A+ it is lack of an elevator, but the pluses far outweigh that minor inconvenience.

We made reservations for our anniversary 3 months in advance based on the ammenities listed & the picture of the jacuzzi room. I was unable to get this room on-line as a special so I had to call the hotel to reserve. I had to cancel 1 of our days & was told by the hotel that I couldn't cancel because I booked on-line (?). After driving 2 hrs to get there, we checked in to our expensive room only to find that it was a smoking room (complete with ash trays & cigarette burns in the bathroom). I had booked for a non-smoking room as always (I have asthma)so the kind manager, who at the time was off-duty, switched us to the other jacuzzi room which had been "ionized". The temp in the room remained the same over the 6 hrs although we attempted to lower it & followed the instructions of the night clerk to "unplug the unit in an attempt to reset it". We noted to her that it was cooler in the hallway than in the room, to which we were told that "it's always that way in the hallway & it's warm behind the registration desk, too". We have stayed at many hotels in many locations & have never experienced that anywhere. We decided to use the jacuzzi, thinking that once we got out, it would feel cooler in the room so we began to fill it as we have in many jacuzzi rooms we've stayed in before. We turned the water on high & let it run for 20 minutes & the pressure was almost non-existent. We had to suppliment by using the coffee carafe & I the ice bucket by filling it with water from the kitchenette to add to the jacuzzi & the total time to fill it above the jets took approx 1 hr. This was unexceptable - we were here to relax. When the water pressure was also mentioned to the night clerk, her comment was "this may be normal for us". After following the directions of the jacuzzi by running the ventilation fan, etc., when we got out, with the room still being so uncomfortable, we decided to leave & drive the 2 hrs back home to the comfort of our cool house. We were very disappointed in that we had looked forward to this for so long & felt like it was a disaster from the beginning. The only good thing I have to say was about the day manager who stayed after her shift was over to help us change rooms & brought us extra pillows. The rest of the customer service was lacking.

We stayed and room 226 for 4 days and it was good. I might have left my camrecorder there and trying to contact. I can not find any way to contact on your web page and wonder if you did find a camrecorder in a black bag? Hope you receive this as I do not want to pay for a lond distance call when I can go on line for free.
