    The fan/light fixture was missing its cover, revealing a dust collection impressive enough to qualify as a small wildlife habitat. The front desk experience was frustrating. Communication was difficult, and despite my best efforts, every conversation felt like a game of telephone that neither of us was winning. Friendly greetings, a welcome, or even a simple "thank you" never seemed to make an appearance. The lobby had an aroma that can only be described as "memorable"—a unique blend of mystery, regret, and something that probably shouldn't have been indoors. Calling this a hotel feels generous. It had more of a "last-resort stopover" vibe than a place intended for travelers seeking comfort. And breakfast? There wasn't one. No pastries. No cereal. No coffee. Not even the illusion of coffee. The breakfast area was as empty as my hopes after checking in.

    Room was spacious. Bed comfortable. Quite too!!! No ice container in room. Some electrical outlets were without the covers on them. Bathroom door was damaged (like a fist hole) and it looked like someone tried to fix it. If the Inn gets fixed up, it would be a nice place to stay!!

    The place was great for what I paid! In fact it was better than another place I twice the rate. The bed was fairly comfortable, shower fine and AC worked great. My one main complaint was that the toilet ran all night. I closed the door to the bathroom but is still waked me up several times. What a waste of water. Also there was a nasty fly in the room that only started buzzing around after about 4 in the AM. I don't know where it earlier, but perhaps it somehow managed to get in during the night.

    They provide a full size refrigerator but no microwave. My refrigerator had no handles. They were broken off. It just seemed pointless. I needed a microwave.

    Rooms were clean and price was excellent Wish the rooms had a coffee maker. I'll know to bring my own next time.

    There’s nothing to like Horribly dirty smelled like smoke even though it was a non-smoking room there was stains everywhere nothing was cleaned properly. I didn’t even want my kid running around in there. It was so bad.

    When we pulled back the sheets to go to bed, we found live bugs crawling in the beds in two of the rooms. In addition, there was mold in the bathroom, dirt, mud, and hair in the showers, and even cockroaches in one of the bathrooms. Several safety and maintenance issues were also present, including missing light fixtures, missing smoke detectors, non-functioning door locks, and a broken, poorly patched door frame that appeared to have previously been kicked in or broken into. Because we did not feel safe or comfortable staying there, we left the property at 1:00 AM to find cleaner and safer accommodations elsewhere. The following morning, we returned to speak with management and request a refund. Instead of addressing our concerns professionally, ownership became irate and insisted there was nothing wrong with the rooms. We were offered different rooms, but after seeing the condition of all three rooms we originally booked, we declined and requested a refund, which was denied. We have photos documenting the condition of the rooms and are willing to provide them upon request.

    Very poor

    Location Old, not well maintained, some of the lights didn't work, shower pressure was almost nonexistent, there were holes in the bedsheets

    The front desk lady was nice. The only positives I can honestly give are that the AC worked very well and the room decor had some character. The fridge was a full size fridge and freezer. This place was absolutely disgusting. I’ve stayed in many hotels over the years, including during work travel, and this was by far the worst experience I’ve had. The room looked nothing like the photos online. The bathtub looked unsanitary with heavy staining/discoloration, and the bathtub faucet constantly ran in a steady stream. The fixture underneath the faucet also appeared damaged/open. There were stains and marks on the walls and floors, and even the stairs leading to the room were dirty. The fire alarm was not mounted on the wall and was instead sitting inside a drawer, which was extremely concerning from a safety standpoint. The bed was unbelievably hard to the point where I felt like there would be no difference between the mattress and sleeping on the floor. The refrigerator was also missing its door handles, and overall the room felt very poorly maintained.
