Colonial Inn Mercer-Grove City

This place is rundown, dirty, and gross. Everything was filthy, and the carpeted floors were actually wet and sticky. It’s the kind of place where people live permanently and it is not well taken care of. If I had time I would have just left and found another hotel in the area. This really is a case of you get what you pay for, don’t do it.

Positive: Reasonably priced. Parking was fine. The window in the back opened. Spectrum or Armstrong cable was fine. They provided single use soap. Dual access to the room; from both inside the motel hallway and an outside door. Staff very pleasant and tried to help with WiFi, but ended up not solving the issue. There was plenty of hot water. The bathroom and room were clean. Not so positive: The WiFi did not reach my room, so I had virtually no internet access. I had to go to the lobby to access eMail. They tried extenders, but that failed. They provided two (2) small towels and one (1) small floor mat, but no hand towels nor wash clothes. The HVAC offered Heat and A/C but no "fan only" option; I prefer fresh air. The mini fridge never got cold so I bought a bag of ice at WalMart. The switch that turns the outlet on/off that controls the lamp also turns the TV off. The tub had no grab bars. I do not need that, but some might.

There were cockroaches in the room. Was told to contact Expedia for a refund, when I did, the front desk at the motel denied for the refund twice! Do not stay here if you do not want to sleep with roaches!

Price was the best in the area, and for that price the Inn was very good - clean sheets, hot shower, quiet to sleep in. Can't beat that for the price.

It was very majestic and extremely clean.
