30 yrs ago I used to stay here occasionally for work. It was a nice, moderately price motel. Really should have just left my good memories alone.
Sadly, the Norwood has devolved into a very rundown place. My room had basically been stripped of almost everything but the bed, frig, & tv.
I had to request towels, toilet paper, Kleenex, a garbage can. The coffee maker didn’t have a carafe. The tv remote was also gone. The carpet was so scary looking that I never walked on it without shoes. No functioning ice machine (in July) and the pool was closed “for maintenance”.
When I first walked in the smell of bleach was overwhelming. I learned later that this masked the smell of smoke emanating from the carpet despite it being a non-smoking room. I kicked it up every time I moved around the room.
I was only in it from 10pm to 8am, so I toughed it out.
Next morning went to the “free breakfast” only to find absolutely nothing available. Not even coffee. Apparently the coffee maker had broken a few weeks ago. This was my breaking point and I demanded a price reduction. I was given a full refund. The amount they lost would have fixed their coffee maker. SMH
It makes me so sad, what has happened to this place.
