Magnuson Grand Hotel and Conference Center Tyler

Room was dirty and just dated. At least paint the place and try to keep it clean. Breakfast that was provided was terrible and I eat just about anything. I was scared I would get sick. Oh and your name suggests you are a Hotel when this is really a Motel.

I honestly expected this place to be worse than it was based on the previous reviews. The only thing I can complain about was a dead bug inside my ac unit and the ac unit itself was super dirty. To me the bed was not comfy but I’m very specific about beds. I was pleasantly surprised at the water pressure in the shower. Usually hotels don’t have great showers. But this one was good. Breakfast was also great. No fruit but the potatoes and sausage were good. Easy check-in/out. The room did smell a little musty but not enough to be a real bother. Also there was a space where the door didn’t meet the door jam but I didn’t have any problems with bugs getting in. I could also hear the other residents in their rooms at times.

First room had what I assume to be fleas. I walked to the lobby and they immediately gave me a different room after I asked and said that no animals have been in the room. I walked to my new room and passed quite a few empty / vacant rooms that I guess are being remodeled, some empty, some full of furniture and junk. One or two rooms, I couldn’t distinguish exactly how many, had numerous barking dogs inside. I got into my new room and the carpet was stained but I saw no bugs. I turned on the heat and the smell was terrible so I turned it off. It was almost midnight by this time and I had traveled over 12 hours. I had to be up by 6am so I decided to suck it up and try to sleep. I was so uncomfortable that I could hardly sleep. I wanted to save money but this was ridiculous. The front desk employees were nice but the facility as a whole was very trashy and gave me a bad feeling. I am assuming that remodeling was being done as numerous buildings looked empty and a huge dump truck was out front one of them.

The room was ok. It was pretty clean. The bathroom needs work though. Since this is an outside hotel, there was no elevator and carrying luggage upstairs was not easy. The front desk clerk could’ve been friendlier as well.
