And really, a five minute walk, with no water? Are you even alive? I mean, Atlanta is one of the most humid cities in the US.. it'll dehydrate you in no time. Let me just say that you're lucky you didn't get hit with cold heat. That's the kind of incoherent weather pattern that'll make a 5min walk feel like a 15min walk.

| | | Correct. This is a rule for guests of the hotel who visit one of those parks.

| | | Well, how would the able to tell you're going to eaither place? What would be their reason for such a ban?
It sounds to me that they don't want guests from those two places coming in to use their facilities, which is understandable and that's how all hotels are anyway. I don't think it's pertains to guests staying there, it's just being misread. |

| | | So you get punished for being a WC/BGW guest while staying at this hotel? Don't they know that a majority of their business is from the parks? My favorite line was "Trash must be emptied. Rooms are to be kept clean." Hotel rooms are meant to be trashed, and then you get they joy of walking away from it. Thats why you employee maids-they get paid to "empty the trash." I'm gonna call the hotel and mess with them. I'll let ya'll know how it goes.

| | Hotel Name - Comfort Inn
Location - Sandusky Ohio
Date of Visit - June 2003
Nearest Park to Hotel - Cedar Point
Reason why the hotel was unsatisfactory - Well the hotel looked very nice in all the pictures. I guess thats why they only show the lobby in the pictures. They put us in a TINY corner room first. I had to request another as I got clausterphobic. The second one they put us in was just as bad. It smelled bad, the floor was wet, and there was mold and mildew on the ceiling. The bathroom had pubic hairs in the tub and toilet. The sheets were dirty. The hot tub, was GREEN...  . When I requested a better room, they offered to put me in a Jacuzzi room free of charge(they were supposed to be newer) but I was NOT ALLOWED to use the Jacuzzi, or I would be charged...So I checked out. worst Hotel EVER
Additional Comments - I did check into the Clarion down the road at the mall, EXCELLENT service. Clean room. Were disappointed they couldnt get us a pool side room..LOL... |

| | | I've got 2 to add to the list:
Super 8
hotel circle in San Diego
date of stay: June 2004
parks nearby: Sea World, SD zoo, etc
reasons: The hotel was filthy. We changed rooms twice before the kids collapsed and we couldn't change again. The last room was the cleanest- with hair on the bathroom floor, a clock that didn't work, and other unpleasantness. So you can imagine what the first couple were like (including one the maids had obviously never looked at) Their breakfast didn't exist that they mentioned, with the juice machine broken and the few rolls they put out stale and unedible. And then the guy actually argued with me saying that we got more than our money's worth from the hotel (over $80/ night). I'm still fighting with the chain on that one. Worst hotel I've ever been in.
Ramada Inn
Atlanta Georgia, on Fulton Industrial
date of stay: early July 2004
comments: see what General Public said above about the street. We didn't know that in advance. Old rooms, imcompetent help at the desk (e.g. quoted a lower rate to someone coming in than I got while I was standing at the desk, then wouldn't give that rate to me; still hasn't credited my reward account for the stay, even though I've been faxing papers, etc), dirty, laundry machines didn't work, pool was filthy enough that we didn't dare use it, etc.

Dirty room, rude staff. We found another hotel within 1 hour an had to FIGHT to get my money back because of the unsatisfatory conditions.

| | My list of hotels to avoid
Best Western - near BGW - old building, musty smell
La Quinta - SFOG - had a really bad experience
Days Inn - BGT - very old building, crappy neighborhood
Microtel - Huron (I think) OH. Several miles from CP. Nice hotel, but it's located very close to a busy railroad line. I slept through the night, but one of my friends said he heard constant trains. Quote: |
Originally Posted by sfne stinks Additional Comments SFOG has maybe 2 other hotels 'next' to it.. use one of them.... | My advice, stay away from "muggers alley". I did not feel safe on that street. The weeds are overgrown and you could easily be rapped in broad daylight without being seen.
All the hotels on that exit and the LaQuinta exit (just up the access road from Six Flags) are very poor quality.
My advice, try the new Country Inns located one exit west of SFoG.

- If you go to any of the fast-food places on that street on hours other than SFOG closing time they will be totally deserted, you feel like you'll get mugged
- The gas stations in the area are very ick too... I have been followed in one of them many times...
- On the SFOG exit, there's a hotel that has a sign that says "stay here walk to 6 flags", i think it's called fulton or mark inn, it looks very ick but you always see people crossing the street there...
- there's like 3 hotels on a street off to the side of the SFOG entrance (where the "unofficial" parking lots are) this is where the days inn that stinks stayed at is, i don't know if the other hotels are any good (poo towels... :-\!!)
