Mentor Home Inn

There are drawbacks to the place, but after two and a half years it feels like home. The staff are nice and direct, and it helps to get to know the right people here. The location is perfect for quick stops, with a 7/11 next door, McDonald's across the street, and Sheetz over the bridge. If you’re expecting a grand palace, though, there are other hotels for that.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this place grossed me out. I came with my mom, and one bed had yellow stains on the white sheets that looked like pee. In three other rooms they tried to put us in, there was hair on the beds. The staff were nice at first, then gave my mom a horrible attitude. They tried to keep the $100 room payment when we asked for a refund and said we’d have to wait until Monday. We got it back after five minutes of attitude. Don’t go. Ever.

The TV was the only thing that worked properly, assuming the electricity stayed on. It kept cutting out, which made me worry about a fire, and the air conditioner couldn’t cool the room enough. The room was filthy and had cockroaches. People in other rooms were paying by the week or month, and there were all-night parties, barking dogs, and drug activity. This hotel should be condemned. Worst lodging experience ever.

The day manager, who called herself Shelly, said there were no problems and refused to refund our money. We lost $100 even though no other habitable rooms were available. We’d already asked for a room change at check-in because the smoke smell was so strong we had to leave the door open to breathe. The night staff acknowledged it, but said the only other room smelled like “bad animals,” so the smoke-filled room would be better. When we turned back the covers, we saw stained sheets with small blackish spots that could have been bedbug evidence. We left right away. Bedbugs can spread through everything and are very hard to get rid of. There are several decent options nearby. Believe the reviews and skip this one.
