Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Very clean room, responsive to requests, friendly staff
We were pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness of this Inn. The beds were comfortable, and the shower had nice hot water. Everyone we spoke with was very friendly and all requests for items were brought to the room quickly. We would stay here again.
Per hotels.com rating was 9.0...expected more, it was just a room to sleep..room was clean, bed comfortable...no place to sit and relax...would not rate a 9..
A few observations:
- Bathroom fan sounded like it was going to jump out of the ceiling. Mgmt had to know about this existing condition.
- growly room hvac unit
- no hooks for towels in bathroom
- shower head/hose broken
+ room clean
+ TV worked well
+ bed was comfy
A basic clean bare bones establishment with meh maintenance.
Rooms looked they had just been renovated. Clean and comfortable. Good restaurant across the street and a convenience store next store. Josh at the front desk was welcoming and very helpful. Rates were great. I will be booking again in the future.
