Dear Traveler:

Don't Stay Here. It is a Dump!

The sheets were dirty and the room felt like it was 42 degrees. There was no heat.

When I wanted to cancel the next morning, they took away my multi-night discount and made me pay the regular rate, and on top of that they charged me a $15 cancellation fee.

What a rip-off this place is. Whatever you do, don't stay at the Olde Court Rip-Off Inn.

My purpose for staying at the Olde Court Inn was because I was in town for a convention in November and the hotel hosting the convention was booked solid. This motel is just down the street at 0.3 mile away so the proximity was the only convenience.

The overall average price of $60 a night ($180 final bill for the 3-night stay) provided me and my travel partner a tiny room that stank like the apartment of a chain-smoking shut-in. There was a large cigarette burn in the blanket on my bed. Luckily I brought my own pillow and blanket but after I got home I had to wash both because they picked up the smell. There were only 2 outlets in the room, making it very inconvenient for plugging in laptop computers and battery chargers (a must for the camera usage of such a convention. The window sill in the bathroom was covered with dead bugs, leaving an unclean feeling even after a shower. The shower itself had only hot water, making bathing quite scalding and uncomfortable.

To top it all off, on our second morning there the front desk clerk/manager used his key to open the door and attempt to come in unannounced and without knocking. At that moment I was sitting on my bed still completely nude from the shower I just had but the security chain prevented him from entering. I don't care about being seen like that but the complete lack of security and privacy bothered me much more so I yelled to chase him off.

Bottom line: do not stay at the Olde Court Inn unless it is your absolute last resort.
