Liked: Staff & service
The room was clean and all of the basic functions were working. There was no coffee maker or hot cups, though the shower got really hot so you could make due with that if you really needed hot water. It was also an extremely loud location. The inn itself doesnt have any sound-proofing so Being right next to major roads has its pros and cons. Heard excessive acceleration and Sirens all night, so we kept the tv on to help us sleep through the sudden volume changes from outside. Overall you get what you pay for

This place is aweful came from out of town and wanted somewhere to stay the place stinks. Its nothing like what is shown on the net. Imagine recovering from cancer low immunity and when asked for a refund they said i booked throught 3rd party so take it up with them which i did. They refused to pay any of the money for the two nights back. Had to be driving around at night trying to find another hotel had to sleep in my car at walmart parking lot and it was cold. I swear it will not be well with those people.

There were strands of hair on the bathroom floor, and the bed didn’t appear clean either, so imagine the condition of the tub.
