Gray Plaza Motel

A few rooms have been cleaned up a little bit, but most of them still need quit a bit of work. Each time I'm there it seems they're working on at least one room, updating I hope. The average room has old, worn, mismatched furniture, air conditioners that take a long time to work, stained sticky carpets, bathrooms that need attention and old dingy drapes that need to be replaced. I don't recall seeing any bugs, though, and I've stayed there at least 4 or 5 times in the last year while traveling. I'm really not sure why I keep going back. I think it's because it's right off of the exit ramp, parking is a breeze and the office is extremely easy to see and enter. There's also no halls, stairs or elevators. You just pull right up to your room. When I'm really tired from driving, it's my go-to because of the convenience Pay cash if you can. It seems like my bill is less when I do. ?? Is it a great place to stay? No. Is it a really good place to stay? No. Is it an ok place to stay? Maybe. In my oppinion it's a 'fair' place to stay with a great parking situation, especially if all you want to do is get out of your car, take 10 steps and be in a bed. Definitely not the type of place to stay and hang out while visiting the area unless you get one of their nicer rooms which are still just OK. I ask for an updated room or I won't get one. I don't know who they're saving them for. Lol They will happily move you to another room if you don't like the one they put you in but it always costs more. Same type of room, just cleaner with better sheets and cleaner carpets. Crazy, right? I'm sure I'll be back in that area before too long and stay there again though. For me, the front door parking after a long drive is sometimes the deciding factor. For around $10 to $12 more a night, across the street, there's a major chain hotel that has a more clean, comfortable atmosphere which may be better suited for families traveling with children. That's just my opinion, but I'm usually right. :)
