6.0/10

My stay at Civic Center Inn was far from pleasant. The room was in dire need of updates, and the overall cleanliness left a lot to be desired. In addition, the service was unhelpful when I faced issues during my stay, making it an uncomfortable experience.

Rooms

5.0

The room was outdated, with peeling wallpaper and stains everywhere. The toilet seat was not attached, and the bathtub was in poor condition. It honestly felt like stepping back into the 80s.

Service

5.0

I experienced terrible service throughout my stay. When I had an issue, the staff were dismissive and unhelpful, and communication was difficult due to their broken English. It felt like no one cared about my concerns.

Location

5.0

The location was quite bad and felt unsafe, contributing to an overall uneasy experience during my time there. I was uncomfortable walking around the area.

Dining

5.0

While I didn’t have high expectations for dining, I must say that even the breakfast was lacking, despite the promise of hot waffles.

Facilities

5.0

Facilities were in disrepair, with the ice machine containing frozen debris, an unwired smoke alarm, and a room that felt like it should be condemned. This place was alarming, to say the least.

6.0/10

My stay at Civic Center Inn was truly disappointing. On one hand, the location is decent for quick access, but the room itself was a nightmare. Everything seemed outdated and dirty, which really overshadowed any benefits.

Rooms

5.0

The room looked like it was stuck in the late '80s, with filthy deep red carpet and a bathroom that had damp, moldy stains. I felt uneasy just being there.

Service

5.0

The staff was not accommodating when I tried to address my concerns. I encountered issues with communication as well, which only added to my frustration.

Location

5.0

While the location is not far from attractions, it's not worth it given the state of the place. I found myself wishing I had chosen somewhere else to stay entirely.

Dining

5.0

Dining options nearby were not mentioned, and frankly, I wouldn’t want to eat near such a grimy hotel. I opted to find better places elsewhere.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities seemed poorly maintained. The smoke alarm was unwired, which raised serious safety concerns. It's hard to feel comfortable when basic safety is compromised.

5.4/10

My stay at Civic Center Inn was quite disappointing. The overall upkeep of the place left much to be desired, but the cleaning staff was friendly. Unfortunately, the poor service from the front desk and the state of the rooms significantly overshadowed the positives.

Rooms

5.0

The room was in poor condition with mold, dim lighting, and a lack of basic amenities. The floors were dirty, and I wouldn’t dare walk on them bare-footed.

Service

5.0

The reception staff were rude and unhelpful. My experience with them was frustrating, especially when issues arose with my luggage. It felt like they were more of a hindrance than a help.

Location

5.0

The location is central to many attractions, but that doesn't compensate for the poor experience at this hotel.

Dining

5.0

I didn't eat at the hotel, but it’s worth mentioning that I heard there are places nearby where the salads are delicious.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities were lacking; the pool looked uninviting, and overall, the hotel felt more like a last resort than a desirable place to stay.

5.0/10

My stay at Civic Center Inn was frankly shocking. The overall condition of the place was appalling, and it really left a strong negative impression. Although I was able to find my way through the darkened spaces with little assistance from the broken lights, the overwhelming odor of mildew and the nastiness of the bathroom made my skin crawl. I felt like I was living in a horror film, and I seriously considered sleeping in my car after witnessing the state of the room.

Rooms

5.0

The room was a disaster. mold on the walls, damaged carpets, and the lighting barely worked. I was terrified to walk barefoot on the floors.

Service

5.0

The staff was far from friendly. One even seemed to be engaged in a bizarre distraction while I was checking out, which was super frustrating.

Location

The location itself might have potential, but the conditions of the inn completely overshadowed it.

Facilities were lacking. The upstairs walkways were slippery, and I genuinely worried about falling.

Facilities were lacking. The smoke alarm was disconnected, and the whole place could use a serious overhaul. It felt more like a danger zone than a hotel.
