The room I was in was carpeted (opposite from in the photo), but it made no difference in my experience. The room was very clean, plenty of plugs, comfortable beds, and both a mini fridge and a microwave. It's clearly undergone a glow-up from something closer to a Motel 6 and includes some very nice mural art on the wall dividing the bathroom from the rest of the room. The front desk staff was great and I paid very reasonable prices. The only possible drawback would be if I had no car, but overall I'd stay there again in an instant.

The room was fine. Close to downtown. AC unit in Room 105 was really noisy with weird rattles, and the toilet tank leaked so it filled sporadically through the night. The room was recently renovated, with a large TV and comfortable bed. The price was economical.

The room was clean and beds were comfortable. The staff was friendly. The only mention is that the area seems a little be less than desirable. It is a stones throw away from a public park. With that being said we did not feel unsafe.

This little place was a very pleasant surprise!

We stayed for one night to attend a concert in town. The rooms were really cool looking. They were super clean and the bed was very comfortable. It was actually a very quiet hotel, which we appreciated, as we like to sleep in. Plenty of parking in a safe area. The air conditioning worked great! The staff was really nice and had us laughing upon check in. The owner greeted us in the parking lot as we were leaving and asked for our feedback. I was really impressed. We will definitely stay here again. The only suggestion I gave the owner was to CLR the shower head a little, as a few of the streams were clogged. But overall, even that didn't bother me. It was still a very clean shower/tub. Try this Inn in your next stay! Great price and you won't be disappointed!

We came for family weekend at U of A. This hotel is 1 mile away so it was good for walking to the University, food and bars. Down side is it’s in a rough neighborhood. Staff was very friendly and rooms were clean and comfy beds.
