Springville's BEST Kept Secret: Microtel Inn & Suites Review!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into the… ahem … Springville's BEST Kept Secret: Microtel Inn & Suites Review!
Look, I’m not gonna lie, I walk into hotel reviews with a healthy dose of skepticism. Hotels, man. You never really know what you're gonna get. But Microtel in Springville? Well, it’s… different. Let's get down and dirty, shall we? And yes, I will try to make the SEO people happy. Wish me luck, I have no idea how that works.
Accessibility: The Good, The Okay, and the Slightly Confusing…
Right off the bat, accessibility is a BIG deal, and Microtel mostly gets it right. Wheelchair accessible rooms are available (phew!), but I'd recommend calling ahead to specifically confirm your needs. The elevator is a godsend, especially after a long day, and the facilities for disabled guests are there, but again, double-check the specifics, if you have unique needs. Exterior corridor…well, it's what it is. Not ideal in a torrential downpour, but it's functional, and often means less noise, which is a plus.
Cleanliness and Safety – The Pandemic Edition (and Beyond!)
This is where Microtel really shines. This is what I care about more post-pandemic, than I ever did before. Look, the Anti-viral cleaning products are a nice touch, but the visible effort is what matters. They're SERIOUS about keeping things clean. Daily disinfection in common areas? Check. Rooms sanitized between stays? Absolutely. They've got hand sanitizer everywhere, and the staff are all masked and professional, which is reassuring. Safe dining setup – more on that later, but thumbs up. They’re even offering Room sanitization opt-out available if you like, but honestly, I like the extra cleaning.
Side Note: Did I mention the smoke alarms and the fire extinguisher? You know, the important stuff. Makes you feel like they actually care, and aren't just ticking boxes.
Internet Access (Because Duh, We Need It!)
Okay, so let's be honest, internet is up there with oxygen these days. Good news! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! And yeah, I tested it. It's surprisingly decent. I was able to stream the latest episode of whatever crazy show I'm into AND upload some pictures. There’s Internet [LAN] too, if you're into that sort of thing, but I'm all about the Wi-Fi [free], it's available in all rooms. No, I didn't try the Internet services like the printing, but maybe next time.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – Where Things Get Interesting…
Alright, here's the deal. Microtel isn't exactly a culinary destination. There isn't an in-house restaurant. However, they offer a Breakfast [buffet] but it's an experience! The buffet is small, but good. I went for the waffles, and they were perfect. I would have eaten them everyday. The Coffee/tea in restaurant is always available though. The Snack bar is actually pretty well-stocked. All of this is free. The Breakfast takeaway service is a nice touch if you're in a hurry. There isn’t a bar, or a Poolside bar, but honestly, I'm more of a "room service and chill" kinda gal.
Services and Conveniences – The Little Things That Matter
This is where Microtel separates itself. The Daily housekeeping is top-notch. My room was spotless, everyday. The Contactless check-in/out is a lifesaver. I have a 4 year old, I do not want to speak to anyone. The Cash withdrawal is handy, the Concierge is really good. They know all the local spots. Dry cleaning, Laundry service are there. I didn’t use them, but they are there. It's a little more than your basic hotel, which I appreciate.
For the Kids (and the Kid in All of Us!)
Okay, I don't have kids. But I saw some families enjoying themselves. Family/child friendly is a legit claim. They have enough of everything, and the staff seems patient. There isn't a dedicated kids' club or anything, but there's definitely a welcoming atmosphere.
Things to Do (or Not Do – Your Choice!) and Ways to Relax
This is… well, maybe the weakest area. There is a Fitness center, but the Gym/fitness is what you'd expect. There is a Swimming pool [outdoor]. And that is it. You’re not going there for a spa experience. But hey, sometimes all you need is a clean room and a comfy bed, right?
Inside the Room - The Nitty Gritty
Okay, the rooms. They're… comfortable. Air conditioning? Check. Blackout curtains? Amen. Free bottled water? Yes! The Coffee/tea maker is a life-saver. Hair dryer? Yep. In-room safe box? Present and accounted for. The bed itself was pretty darn comfortable. The pillows were good, the blankets not scratchy. The TV has Satellite/cable channels and access to all sorts of stuff. And yes, there's Wi-Fi [free] in the room, which is key.
My Quirky Observations
- The artwork in the hallways? Let's just say it's… unique.
- I loved the Mirror in my room, for the daily selfies.
The Not-So-Perfect Bits
- The Pet policy is unavailable which is sad.
- The location isn’t in the sexiest part of town. It's a bit out of the way.
The Emotional Verdict
Look, Microtel Inn & Suites isn't the Four Seasons. But it’s clean, safe, and comfortable. It’s also incredibly affordable. It's the best kept secret in Springville! Book Now!
Here's the deal. If you are looking for a clean, safe, affordable place to stay in Springville, then Microtel Inn & Suites is a great choice. They're clearly focused on what matters: Cleanliness, comfort, and convenience. And that's more than enough for me.
Bonus Offer for the Adventurous Soul:
- When you book your stay with Microtel Inn & Suites mention this review, and you'll receive a complimentary upgrade to a room with a terrace (while they last!) and a voucher for a free snack at their well stocked snack bar.
So here you go! See you in Springville!
Jaw-Dropping Sea Views! Your Dream Apartment Awaits in Nieuwpoort-Bad, Belgium
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's itinerary. This is ME, loose and rambling, let loose in Springville, Utah, courtesy of the glorious Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Springville/Provo (fancy name, humble abode, let's be real). This ain't even a plan, it's more of a… well, a stream of consciousness shaped by limited funds and a burning desire to eat some good dang Utah food.
Day 1: Arrival and the Crushing Weight of… Laundry?
- 1:00 PM (ish) - Arrival, Check-in, and the Existential Dread of the Key Card. Okay, so the drive from wherever I was coming from was… a drive. Thankfully, the Microtel is easy to spot – bless those Wyndham folks for loving a good sign! Check-in was a breeze. The front desk lady was super sweet, which instantly bumped Springville up a notch. Then came the key card. That flimsy piece of plastic. The sheer weight of it… the responsibility… it's a lot, you know? Like, one wrong move and you're locked out! Anyway, room's decent. Clean enough. Carpet's… well, it's carpet. I'm not gonna lie, I secretly hope it's seen some drama. You know, a spilled soda, maybe a rogue ice cream incident. The stories that carpet could tell… shudders
- 2:00 PM - The Untamed Wilderness of… The Microtel's Continental Breakfast. Alright, let's be real. I knew this was gonna be the start of my day, right? The call of the free breakfast, the siren song of lukewarm coffee. It's a ritual. The waffle maker is my white whale. I went for the classic: waffle, smeared with something vaguely resembling butter (or maybe it was butter? Who knows!), a few sad, lonely sausages, and that questionable "fruit" salad that looks like it’s been through… well, something. Honestly? I loved it. The pure, unadulterated humility of that breakfast. It sets the stage for… everything.
- 3:00 PM - Laundry: The Silent Symphony of the Washing Machine. Okay, maybe not the most glamorous start. But seriously, traveling light? My arch-nemesis. I surveyed my suitcase wreckage and it became abundantly clear I'd need an audience with the hotel laundry room. I'm a laundry room connoisseur… I’ve seen a lot. This one was… serviceable. The whir of the machines, the low hum of dryers… it's a surprisingly meditative experience when you're not staring at your phone. Unless you're me, then I start panicking I'm not using the right settings. I swear, half the time I walk in with the best intentions and I'm staring blankly at the machine 20 minutes later like I've never done laundry before. The drama! The suspense of waiting to find out if my favorite shirt makes it out alive!
- 6:00 PM - Dinner Adventure: Finding the "Utah Food" Holy Grail. Okay, so, Google. Google is my friend here. "Best places to eat in Springville"… The search began. We're looking for authenticity. Local flavor. The Utah experience. (Whatever that even is). Maybe… a good burger? Or something involving fry sauce? I'm going in blind. And hungry. Wish me luck. (I'll report back).
- 8:00 PM - Relaxing in front of the Tele with channel surfing and the feeling of a day well wasted. Back in the hotel, TV time. Let's see what the gods of the streaming platform are offering me.
Day 2: Cultural Immersion and the Pursuit of the Perfect Pastry
- 9:00 AM - Breakfast, Take Two: The Waffle's Revenge! I'm not gonna lie, I'm kinda excited about this. The waffle maker and I are developing a… relationship.
- 10:00 AM - Art City: A Glimpse of Springville. Springville's got an art museum, right? I've heard whisperings. I'm not an art critic. I'm more of an "I know what I like" type of person. I hope they have a gift shop. Those museums shops are the greatest. You can find yourself staring into a glass case for hours and then boom! Your wallet is empty.
- 12:00 PM - Lunch and the Quest for Fry Sauce. I'm on a mission. A Fry Sauce mission. Lunch must now lead me to this beautiful creation.
- 2:00 PM: The Great Dessert Hunt. Okay, I need something SWEET. Something amazing. I got my fingers crossed that there's a bakery in town and I found it. The smell! The selection! I probably spend an hour drooling and taking pictures. And then I bought everything.
- 6:00 PM: The Big Food Report Card! Okay, I'll be honest with you. As much as I want to say my Springville culinary journey was a resounding success? It wasn't. I couldn't find the perfect fry sauce. However, I did find a great burger and I did find the most amazing pastry. So, I'm calling it a win!
- 8:00 PM: Post-Adventure Reflections (and TV). Staring at the ceiling, thinking of tomorrow.
- 9:00 PM: Sleep.
Day 3: Departure and the Bitter-Sweet Farewell
- 9:00 AM: Waffle… Again. Goodbye waffle… I'll miss you so.
- 10:00 AM. Quick Check-Out and… Farewell! Leaving is always hard, but I know I shall never forget the memories made here.
- 11 AM: Leaving… The road unfolds before me. I can't believe it… I'm leaving!
Final Thoughts:
Springville, Utah. It's… a place. It's a stop on a much longer journey. It's the Microtel. Its the laundry. Its the waffles. It's the people I met along the way and the food I ate. And in the end? It's whatever you make it. And I'm calling my little adventure here… a success. Until next time, Springville… until next time!

Microtel Inn & Suites, Springville: The Truth (and My Hangover-Fueled Opinions)
Alright, buckle up. Because after surviving... *ahem*... several nights at the Springville Microtel, I'm about to spill the beans. Consider this your official (unofficial) FAQ. Seriously, you've been warned.
Is Microtel Springville really a "best kept secret," or is that just marketing fluff?
Okay, this is where things get messy, just like my hotel room after a bachelor party (whoops!). "Best kept secret"? Maybe. But *best*? Nah. Secret? Possibly. Look, I've stayed there. Repeatedly. Which, in itself, says *something*. It's a decent, functional place. It's not the Ritz, but you're not paying Ritz prices either. It's the kind of place you stumble back to after a night you probably won't remember. And that, my friends, is a secret worth keeping... to a point. There's a certain *lack* of fuss that's kinda charming once you let go of high expectations. Think of it as the hotel equivalent of a reliable, slightly beat-up pickup truck. Gets the job done.
What's the deal with the breakfast? Is it *actually* edible?
Ah, breakfast. The Achilles' heel of every budget hotel. Let's just say my expectations were... low. And they were often met. You're usually looking at a grab-and-go situation: pre-wrapped muffins that taste like they’ve been on the shelf since the last ice age, maybe some sad-looking cereal, and those little yogurt cups that always leak. The coffee? Well, it *exists*. It might even keep you awake. Once. On a good day, there's a waffle maker. And that, my friends, is your saving grace. Pile on enough syrup, and it’s almost…enjoyable. Don't expect a gourmet experience. Expect sustenance. And maybe a tiny bit of disappointment. But hey, you're on a budget! Think of it as pre-gaming for lunch.
The rooms... are they clean? Seriously, be honest.
Okay, *this* is important. Generally… yes. Cleanish. They're not sparkling, sterile hospital rooms. They're more... lived-in. I've found stray hairs in the bathroom more than once. (Not mine, I swear!). But the sheets *usually* look clean. The towels tend to be soft-ish. And honestly? For the price, I can't complain *too* much. It's not a five-star experience. It's a “I need a place to crash after drinking questionable tequila” experience. And in that context, it delivers. Just… maybe don't go looking *too* closely under the bed. Trust me.
What’s the Wi-Fi like? Crucial for binge-watching or actually working?
Ugh, the Wi-Fi. Okay, look. It's… functional. Sometimes. It has moods. Sometimes it's blazing fast, letting you stream your guilty pleasure shows with ease and other times it's slower than molasses in January. Trying to get any real work done? Prepare for a battle. Prepare to pull your hair out. Prepare to eventually tether to your phone for that glorious, reliable LTE. So, for binge-watching? Possible, but temper your expectations. For, you know, actually being productive? Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor. Seriously, download those Netflix episodes beforehand.
Is there a pool? Because, let's be real, that’s a deal-breaker for some of us.
YES! There is a pool. Or, rather, there *was* a pool. Or at least, a small indentation in the concrete that *used* to hold water. I'm not sure. My memories are hazy on this point. You know what? Just call ahead and ask. Seriously. Because I remember it being... not the cleanest. And the chlorine smell was *potent*. My recommendation? Don't hold your breath about the pool (pun intended! Heh). If it *is* open, probably best to stick to the shallow end. Or even better, just skip it and go find a nice, clean lake. Or a water park. Somewhere that's not the Springville Microtel pool. Just my humble (and slightly traumatized) opinion.
What about parking? Is it easy to find a spot?
Parking? Yes. Parking exists. It's… plentiful. Mostly. I've never had a *major* issue finding a spot. It's a standard hotel-style parking lot. Nothing fancy. Nothing to write home about. You *might* have to walk an extra 30 feet if you get there late at night. But hey, that's exercise, right? Unless you're me, stumbling in around 3 AM after… well, let's just say it involved karaoke and questionable decisions. Then those 30 feet feel like a marathon. But overall, parking is a non-issue. Unless, of course, you manage to park your car *in* the lobby. In which case, please send pictures. That would be epic.
Okay, let's get personal. What’s the *worst* thing about staying there?
The *worst* thing? Hmm… Besides the questionable coffee and the lingering suspicion that the pool is secretly a biohazard zone? Okay, I'd say it's the *noise*. And bear in mind, I *sleep* through construction. I've slept through fireworks. I've slept through my alarm clock for *hours*. But the noise at Microtel can be… a challenge. You’ve got the hallway conversations at 2 AM, the slamming doors, the distant rumble of traffic. There have been times I’ve felt like I was sleeping *inside* a drum set. If you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs. Consider them essential equipment. Seriously. Don’t say I didn't warn you.
Is it worth the price? Give it to me straight.
Alright, the million-dollar question. Is it worth it? Honestly? Yes. Generally. For the price, it's a decent enough option. It's not luxurious. It's not glamorous. It's not going to blow your mind. But it's clean *enough*. It's accessible. It's usually affordable. You get what you pay for, and sometimes, that's all you need. It’s a perfectly functional place to crash for a night or two.Save On Hotels Now
