Decent and basic

Nice person at the desk. The room was very clean and sufficient for one night and a good night’s sleep. The lights between the beds didn’t work. Also, the microwave didn’t work.

Disliked: Amenities
Needs a lot of work under new owner, is evidence of it being done. Beds are quite hard. In an effort to impress, room had a bed high enough 4 8ft man, then offered step stool. Reason: it was "1 of the nicer rooms." The microwave > wattage, short out whole room. Switch 2 reg room, smaller, no discount . Staff very friendly and helpful.

Reserved a suite and when I checked in they gave me a regular room. Had to go back to the front desk to get it changed and the suite wasn't ready so I had to wait 30 minutes. The fire alarms went off 2 times during the night and also there was some kind of humming noise frequently through the night. Over all I probably wouldn't stay there again but it is a good 3nough place to stay if it's your only option.

The ad said breakfast and pool available. They didn’t have either!! The attendants tried to be as helpful as possible without those but especially missed breakfast The fact that it was advertised was why we chose Derby Inn
