Fairview Inn - Osceola

I needed coffee before getting back on the road. At check-in I asked if there would be coffee in the morning and was told yes, but I couldn’t find a coffee maker in the room. When I went to the front desk, the doors were locked and nobody was around, even though I could see the coffee maker inside. The cricket in the bathroom and its smaller crawling friend didn’t bother me, and neither did the remote with only one battery. But I really needed that coffee.

The room was awful when I finally got to look around: bugs and spiders everywhere, crumbs on the sheets, and it clearly hadn’t been cleaned. I decided to stay with people I knew instead and went down to ask for a refund. The owner refused, claimed we’d been there for hours, and cussed me out. I have proof of what happened, and since I paid by credit card I’m glad I can try to get my money back. When I first arrived, they said there were no rooms for me, even though I’d called and reserved one a week earlier. They eventually gave me one, and I threw my things in before rushing out late for an event. Stay away.

I stayed here for about eight months while working in the area. The rooms were good, the service was great, and the people at the desk were awesome. I’ll sure miss them.

My stay was quiet and peaceful. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was huge. Just two issues: the hair dryer didn’t work, and there was an old pizza box in the fridge.
