    There were some broken items in our room. Shower curtain rod wasn't secured to the wall correctly so the curtain stayed in the middle of the bar and didn't closed at either end. Unless you used the shower this wasn't noticeable, so it's not an obvious item that would have been noticed by the staff. But the issue caused a lot of water on the floor. The coffee maker spit out come plastic in the cup when I tried to brew some water, and I had to unplug some stuff to plug in the coffee maker. I had to move things around to accommodate the outlets we needed to plug in our chargers. Again, unless you used it, it's not an obvious problem that the staff could have prevented. The outlets were all standard and didn't have any USB outlets which is just a little outdated, and there was no secondary lock on the room door. Although the area felt safe the second lock is always nice for peace of mind.

    The location was great. Everything was less than 10 minutes from the hotel, chain restaurants close and there was a good gas station just across the parking lot. Everything was very clean and they even cleaned the room after one night. The bed and pillows were pretty comfortable for the price. There is a hot water spout in the lobby for hot tea, which was better than making it in the room. The area also felt pretty safe. Overall, it felt like the property is well managed.

    Didn't bother me, but had to climb stairs to second floor.

    The inn looks a little ragged and worn, but the room was quiet, very clean and comfortable. Friendly staff at reception. I really appreciated that this Inn had sheet and blankets on the bed, NOT A DUVET, so I could get a comfortable night's sleep without a 100 lb. quilt on top of me.

    The breakfast wasn't the best

    The staff was amazing. They were so friendly and accommodating. The location was super convenient. It wasn't far from the airport, and there are plenty of dining options in walking distance.

    It had a funny smell-like there was water sitting, however, the room and the facility was clean.

    It was very easy to access from the highway we just left and had to get back on the next morning

    Little older hotel but they have done updating

    Staff went out of their way. Offered to carry my bags in as I have a pinched nerve in my back. Switched rooms so I didn't have to go up the stairs. Room was clean, bed comfortable, water was hot. Lots of options on TV including HBO, Cinemax, etc. Would stay again!

    Had a towel down in 2 spots - assume leaky ceiling. Indoor pool had no water in it, pool room appeared to be used for storing boxes. Xmas decoration up in front entry… either very early decoration or still up from a year ago.

    Breakfast was ok. Have self serve waffles, cold cereal, toast, orange juice from a jar, pastries wrapped in cellophane which were a bit stale. Microwaving helped them. Plenty of room for seating.

    The shower curtains need to be changed in 2 of the 3 rooms we were in. Everything else was very clean and nice, including the breakfast area.

    We enjoyed the fruit, yogurt and waffles. Everyone had a good breakfa before we left. The room was very comfortable and quiet. We appreciated being able to have our 3 rooms next to each other. We spent the night here on our way home from vacation. Well priced!
