Mountain View Hotel

This place is updated with microwave, mini-fridge and coffee. Decent, typical wall AC/heat unit. Very friendly staff. Very quiet on a Sunday night with oil workers likely having to wake up very early. Friendly, decent breakfast though staff struggled to keep up, they let you know food was coming and they were ready to serve, but no bacon on our morning. Hotel would provide passes to the gym across the street that looked decent (closed on Sundays). Some downsides is there was no easy plug around the bed to charge phones. Wifi was incredibly slow, like dial up slow or worse, to the point of being almost useless. We had a problem with the TV remote only changing channels and everything else having to be controlled on the TV, but we were only there one night, so we didn't check further.

I held off to write a review until my third extended stay visit because the staff is so nice and I felt bad saying anything negative. During my first two stays housekeeping didn’t come in once during that 10 day period and cleanliness was below average; they made some staff changes so the most recent stay was much better. My main issue is they advertise kitchenette, but the small sink, counter, lack of lighting, and mini fridge don’t get the job done. Due to health reasons I need to actually cook and make healthy meals, and because the freezer is hardly big enough for anything, a bunch of my food went bad and had to be tossed out. Also, nothing is provided (utensils, basic cook wear) so it’s a lot of extra stuff to pack. Lastly, the internet is horrible. Unless the router is reset every few hours it doesn’t work, so I’d have to use my phone as a hotspot or call the front desk all the time. The breakfast is nice and I enjoyed the free wellness center passes, but it’s just not worth it and in the future I’d rather stay in Dickinson with actual kitchenettes or on the job site.
