Star City Inn & Suites

Booked online - the total I was given at the time had an additional unexpected 4% added at the hotel at check-in (for using a credit or debit card). That didn't start the stay well. The exterior of the property is in pretty decent shape - though the street entrance isn't particularly well-marked for late-night entry. Also - later in the evening check-in requires the use of a little window in the foyer to the lobby. PLEASE NOTE - NO ELEVATOR! If you have physical disabilities - be sure to request a 1st floor room. After toting my bag and hanging clothes up the stairs and finding my room (207), I entered and found a fairly clean room. It smelled strangely fresh with no hint of must or smoke (I have found that many hotel rooms, even no-smoking, still have odors). It appears there has been some effort to update the rooms. The bed was quite firm, but not uncomfortable (for me). The sheets were clean (I carry a UV/black light when I travel!) There were a few electrical outlets in the room that did not work. But the biggest issue was that the A/C-Heat unit was inoperable. Thankfully - the temperatures and humidity remained comfortable, so I tolerated the issue. Another point of concern - the bathroom floor. It appears there had been some kind of water issue at some point - floor tiles between door and toilet had shifted and were quite uneven - with missing ground - and presented a somewhat sharp corner for tender feet. Also - the breakfast area at this hotel: they don't have breakfast. There is an old paper sign on the class door that says "no breakfast due to COVID, please to understand". in reality - they are now using that area for a storage room... If you want breakfast - try the Piggly Wiggly grocery store across the street - they have an ok and inexpensive breakfast. Overall - much better than sleeping in my truck while traveling, Not many options anywhere around Star City to sleep.
