Belvedere Inn

Beds were comfortable.

TV didn't work due to 'low signal.' Front desk told immediately and was told it couldn't be fixed until next day, told the same thing next day.. Room phone not working, not even a dial tone. Hair dryer was broken. Smoke detector dangling from ceiling, no light on it. Doubt it was working. I showed front desk pictures of smoke detector. This is a safety issue.

It’s an old hotel that needs “love”. Everything is worn down and the decor is at least 40 years old. The carpeting in the 2nd floor public hallway is an embarrassment of stains. Minimal amenities. I expected more for my $175 for one brief night. Avoid the breakfast.

Upon arrival we were greeted and checked in by a friendly person, we felt very comfortable. The parking was safe and easy.

The good stuff: - Checking in and out is very easy. - The staff is really nice, from the reception clerk to the maid. - The breakfast buffet - bagels, muffins, donuts, yogurt, cold cereal, oatmeal, waffles - is convenient, tasty, and restocked quickly. - It's great to be able to get coffee and tea any time of day in the lobby. - The beds are VERY comfortable. - The maid service is awesome. This is the first time that asking for extra towels actually resulted in actually sufficient towels. - All the room's amenities worked, including the fridge and microwave, & the hotel is close to multiple grocery stores, Walmarts and restaurants, so you can bring food in and live affordably. - The air conditioning was very good. - Overall, I felt very welcome here. Could-be-better: - In-room entertainment is lacking. The TV is basic cable - nothing streaming, not even a TV guide channel. - The Wi-Fi was spotty - not entirely their fault, since a storm knocked everything out, but also not strong enough to reliably stream a movie on my laptop. I had to use my phone as a remote hotspot. - The physical plant needs a little love. There's a gash on the base of the wall opposite the elevator on the 2nd floor. Places had chipped paint, and we had to leave one lamp plugged in because it had no on/off switch. - A second chair in the room would be nice. We had a pleasant stay, but investing in a few renovations and better in-room entertainment would easily add another star to this review.

I wasn’t prepared for

Convenient location. Multiple restaurants and stores close by. King room was upgraded to suite.

The hotel is certainly not new, but very well maintained. Spacious room, good breakfast, plenty of parking right in front of the windows. The bathroom is also very large. The only thing is that they could have put a bigger refrigerator.

Comfortable and very affordable
