Gratiot View Motel

I slept good

The place is pretty old and run down

The bed was comfortable. That's about all I can say for this place.

The manager ticked me off from the very beginning when, because I am disabled, have a hearing impairment, and I asked him to repeat something I couldn't hear during check-in, he ROLLED HIS EYES at me!!! (I had already told him I was hearing impaired, so it's not as if he didn't know.) UNBELIEVEABLE!!! Then there was the bathroom doorknob that pulled right off...leaving me unable to open the door to get into the bathroom. No one could be bothered to answer the desk phone when I called for someone to open it; instead, I had to go to the office in person. Windows did not lock, security lock was broken, alarm clock did not work, toilet did not flush properly, place smelled like smoke when I walked in, floorboard heating ducts were falling apart and looked like they came from a junkyard, no blanket was provided, there was no parking for the disabled (despite the fact that it is required by law), staff knocked on my door and awakened me well before checkout time in the morning. Interestingly, the wastebasket was from the Holiday Inn. One has to wonder.... I am an old camper and regular economy-lodging traveler...I'm not picky, and I don't require much. Even for my relatively low standards, this place was NOT up to par!
