Federal Square Motel and Suites Motel - Page 1

This was my temporary accomadation. I didn't know the place so I went by my company that recommended me.

Good things:

Wireless internet, dining table as promised, Bed is good, Washer and dryer. Close to 565.

Okay:

Smell is overwhelmingly strong. So some like it and some don't. If you are planning to stay longer, GET your kitchenware. Couch is alright. Cleaning comes once a week. So be ready to take the garbage out yourself

Bad:

No workout facility, not so freindly staff, limited donuts and bananas (this is your continental breakfast), Old appliances. I had to bring my own Ironbox to press my clothes. The TV I had flickers all the time.

Opinion:

Now after knowing the place (Huntsville/Madison), I feel that I could have lived in a better place for the money I spent.

My boyfriend and I spent Memorial Day weekend here last summer. We found it to be very reasonably priced, and though the room was definitely not fancy, the staff was extremely welcoming and friendly. There was also a nice note on the bed when we arrived, which gave us a sense that this establishment is operated by truly good people-- something we're happy to support.

Bring your incense, Lysol and shower shoes. Also disinfectant. This place apparently has a cleaning staff with no mop buckets and one set of sheets per room! The nicest thing about the "motel" was...... no visible bugs were running from the light! Also, the continental breakfast was to die for...literally. Coffee, Donuts and a banana....how nutritious!

People there are 15 nicer "hotels" and inns in the area...please choose one of those.

When I required extended stay accommodations in Huntsville the Federal Square Inn sounded like just the ticket. A phone call confirmed that they had wireless high speed access, so it seemed perfect.

The accommodations were great, but the wireless quit working one week after I arrived. I inquired politely 3 times over the next two and a half weeks, and finally when I confronted the desk staff about the situation they were rude, unaccommodating, and completely unsympathetic. Basically I was told to use the "data port", which is simply dial-up access. Aside from being long distance to reach my home ISP, it is, obviously incredibly slow compared to broadband. When I pointed this out, I was rebutted with, "Well, I'm perfectly happy with it!"

If you need reliable internet access, I would not consider the Federal Square Inn.
