Give it Some Thought
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 3/31/08
As once yearly visitors to Minot, we checked out the rooms a year ago - and thought we might stay here for less - should have checked closer.... I am not so sure the concept of how to use a vacuum cleaner is shown to the housekeepers. As one other writer commented, the walls were "filthy". On the second day, our friends weren't sure if they received clean towels or not, but the dirty towels had not been removed from their room. I know our bathroom floor wasn't swept as the same grundgy little thing on the floor was still there after the cleaning. Oh, and I have only seen children make a bed the way our bed had been made up - Sheets not flattened when tucked in.
My inlaws once owned a motel and we fully understand that the rooms don't have to be the most up to date, but if they are clean and welcoming, the client will be more likely to return.
Well, it was an adventure, but next year, we'll be dumping the private owner and going back to the Holiday Inn next door.
