Review Grants Pass Travelodge: Great Staff & Location, Some Infrastructure Issues
This place really does what it says on the tin. The free WiFi was great. The outdoor pool is only dawn till dusk which is understandable.
The shower stall did present a bit of a problem as the shower head is only about 5 feet above the floor so anyone taller than 5 feet has to duck under and limbo or perform some other act of contortionism if they want to wash their hair and the shower stall isn’t that big adding an extra layer of challenge.
The check in and out process was smooth, efficient, and friendly – no faults whatsoever on the staff.
There is an in-room safe and $1.50 will be added to your bill unless you tell them you aren’t going to use it but the good news is they are very upfront about this and only need to be told once.
The air conditioner is a bit of a problem. The controls are older and yet somewhat complicated so check all the dials when you’re adjusting it. Also, and far more importantly, it’s pretty loud so you’ll need earplugs if you plan to leave it on overnight.
The room was neither spacious nor cramped; it was more or less just what you’d need.
It seems that people tend to check in late and leave early at this hotel. When we left for a late dinner there were only 2 cars in the parking lot, when we came back a few hours later it was packed and the next morning it was completely empty.
The area is pretty good, there are quite a few food options within walking distance such as a restaurant, a Carl’s Jr., a DQ, a Mexican place and many more.
So other than a couple infrastructure issues this is a pretty good place to stay.
