Negative Reviews
negative:
Basic accommodation at a luxury price.
Guests sometimes get more than they bargained for when booking a room at this motel. Rates can fluctuate, so advertised prices don't always match what people pay. The rates are also typically much higher than what people expect given the basic style of this accommodation.
negative:
Not all amenities are on-site.
Some of the amenities at the Continental Inn, such as the popular pool, are located off site and across the street. As the street is often busy with traffic, not all guests feel safe crossing the roadway and miss out on taking advantage of everything this accommodation offers.
negative:
Stays can be noisy depending on neighbors.
The guestroom walls at the Continental Inn don't do much to keep out noise. As the motel-style accommodation has exterior access to each room then traffic noise can be an issue. Likewise noise from neighboring guests can create quite a commotion.
