Venture Inn Hotel

Good value, better than many.

It's not the worst hotel I've stayed in, but it had its issues. One of the two lightbulbs was burned out and not replaced. I get that the maintenance crew had left by the time I reported the issue, but it would have been nice to have it working for Saturday night. None of the power outlets were convenient to the desk, which was so wobbly as to be nearly unusable as such. Other furnishings showed their age, but that was cosmetic and didn't bother me. As for the room, it was nice and spacious, far larger than I had expected. The AC unit was in excellent working order, which I desperately needed. I was surprised to find blackout curtains over the windows. Given where the hotel is located, it makes sense, but was still a pleasant surprise. The bed was comfortable, and there was great water pressure in the shower. The front desk staff was friendly and polite. I couldn't remember my car's license plate on check-in, never mind its make and model. They also suggested I move my car to a better spot, which was really helpful advice. For the cost of my weekend stay, this hotel met my needs. The only issues I had during my stay were nothing to do with the hotel.

The staff were great, the building is under repair and upgrades with new owners apaarently. Rooms were adequate sized, but very old and dated, floors were unvacuumed, bathroom counter smeared from a sloppy clean job, and when i opened the main blanket on the queen bed, there was black hair evrywhere, like 3-6 inches long, i noticed this within a blink of opening the covers, all throughout the sheets and pillows under close inspection and with dim lighting i might add. It was like the bed was never checked, cleaned or laundered in who knows how long. It was just made to look presentable. Well i slept with a bath towel over pillows, and slept on top of the blankets the first night, then brought in a moving blanket from my truck, that i knew was freshly washed and made a sleeping bag out of it. i stayed 3 nights, but only due to the very cheap rates, but one gets what they pay for.

Good stay overall it was alright
