Parkside Inn

No comment should say anything

Very dedicated staff. Nicely done, comfortable home-like rooms.

The location was close to my show. The price was great.

No Coffee maker and cups and coffee/tea in the room. No breakfast

The restaurant right there and the friendliest nicest staff. They helped me park my car and trailer in a safe spot. Then they fed us the yummiest Korean food I've ever had.

I stay here every so often on my way home from work .. so far I have no complaints. Affordable pricing.

Renovations were obviously done in my room, but it was other things that irritated me to the point where I had to write a review as well as take pictures to show you what I mean. Although it looks good "lipstick on a pig", there were underlying shortcomings that still makes it a "pig"!

1.) I ordered a room through an online booking service. The cost was about $73 and when I got there, the elderly gentlemen said that it would be $80. First strike for me! 2.) 1 small package of soap so if I wanted to wash my hands and use that soap to take a shower, I would have to transfer it back and forth. I've been to less expensive places and they don't cheap out on you as they provide 2 small bars of soap. 2nd strike! 3.) The first motel / hotel / inn that I've EVER been to that didn't have a swipe key card. You had to lock the door and use an old school key to open it. This was obviously a cost saving measure. 3rd strike! 4.) Nothing to hang towels INSIDE the bathroom (see pictures). I had to place mine on top of the toilet. 4th strike! 5.) Slow Internet connection. The owner must opted for the budget option. 5th strike! 6.) Odd setup for the bedside lamps. They were foot or push pedals to activate and turn off the lights. The extension cords were right above your head hanging off the corner of the headboard (see pictures). I didn't feel comfortable sleeping with an extension cord hanging so close to my head. 6th strike! 7.) 3 rolls of toilet paper available to you. This isn't necessarily a strike, but based on my impression of the owner of this place, this was obviously a mistake because you want to provide the customer the absolute bare minimum to maximize profits right?! I would have gladly traded in a roll of toilet paper for another small bar of soap. 8.) There were 2 soy sauce sized conditioning shampoo packages (see pictures). Can it get any smaller? Once again, I've never seen this before! 7th strike!
