Staff was very friendly and the room was reasonably priced. Was very clean, but the bedspread had holes in it. When I flushed the toilet, I noticed a small leak. I reported this to the front desk. I wasn’t offered another room, but I’ll take my share of the blame for not asking for one. She did apologize however, and I was pretty understanding as these things do happen. Hopefully the issues get resolved.

Checked out the breakfast one day. Only coffee, and cereal available. Poor continental breakfast. Smoke detector missing. Light plug was right behind top mattress, that should be a fire hazard. I was keeping my aluminum cans, and they took them the one day I asked them to clean the room, and they did even clean the bathroom.

Room was dirty, tin foil over smoke detector, no sprinklers, cigarette burns on comforters, sheets appeared not clean, dirty under mattress, heating/cooling unit along with other item were unplugged, lamps missing bulbs, bathtub had hair in it and there was a foul odor in the room. Had to leave hotel due to how filthy it appeared. Told by staff it has been very busy, which is not an excuse.

There was dog hair and what looked like human hair all over the sheets, pillows and pillow cases. The room was run down, things were broken and it smelt like wet dog. When asked for new linens/pillows the staff was kind enough to provide a hair free pillow and pillow case.

Bathroom was dirty. Hair all over tub toilet and floor. There was a post-it note with the wifi password on the floor when we arrived from the last person making me think they didn’t vacuum… went for breakfast at 8 (supposed to end at 9) and had everything put away and taken apart. Couldn’t even get a glass of juice because they were already cleaning the machine. Went to talk to the front desk and no one was there. There was a note that said they’d be back in 10-15 min with a number to call for assistance. Wasn’t able to call the number from hotel phone… waited almost an hour and noone showed up so we just left.

Older inn with polite customer service. Reasonable rates to get a good nights rest before traveling on. Several tasty dining options some within walking distance or a short drive.

Yes the price was great but they advertise breakfast and there wasn’t any when we were in there and it was during the times that they were supposed to be. There was also no front to our refrigerator. Our room was dirty and never saw anyone that worked there. I think we were alone.
