Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

We stayed one night for an event. We were promptly checked in by a pleasant lady. The breakfast the next morning was hot and plenty. Tables were wiped down as soon as others left. Only concern was the toilet in our room. Very short and when flushed was very slow to drain. Whether #1 or #2. A couple of noticeable fixes on the bathroom door. When it probably should have been replaced. Chair at the dest almost flipped my boyfriend backwards on the floor. We stay at AmericInn types often so the price for what you get is fair.
