Home Town Inn

We loved the room and the staff was very friendly. I asked for a hair dryer and they didn’t have any because all the other rooms were using them. There was also no tv remote in the room so we called and it probably took an hour for them to find one because they didn’t have any and he said he didn’t know where they all went

Flint local here. This place looks decent from the outside and the staff are always nice, but it is a hotbed for crime. The police visit frequently for violent crimes, drug complaints, prostitution, and theft. CPS is a frequent flier there too because of the families that live there. This isn’t your “traditional” hotel in any of these respects. Don’t take my word for it, Google this place before booking, unless all of these things sound great to you. The county prosecutor is trying to shut it down.

After meeting the unfriendly host at the front desk we drove over to our room. After having some trouble getting in we entered a cold room that smelled like stale cigarette smoke. We immediately turned the heat on, which took about an hour to warm the room to a comfortable temperature, and was noisy. Then we took a look around. The bathroom was dirt. The cover had been broken off the fan, and the interior was disgusting - dark cobwebs. The toilet was angled awkwardly towards the wall, and the bathroom taps had the hot and cold backwards. TV was old, which was OK - it worked, but there were no batteries in the remote control. This motel allows dogs and the room next door had two or three loud ones. Wallpaper ripped or with holes all over the place. The light fixtures had quite a bit of dark dust on them - evidence that it had been quite some time since they were properly cleaned. WiFi didn't work very well.
