This is an older property. Also, there are weekly/monthly/permanent renters that live there. It is in need of a lot of maintenance, repair and updating. The room had been "cleaned" but was not really clean The mattress was bad. The bathroom towels were not good. The A/C worked. The water got hot for the shower. The TV worked. If you can afford an extra $20-$30 per night, there are other better options. The owner/manager and front desk person were very nice and accommodating.

Do not judge a book by it's cover. I came in for a wedding and had to get up the next morning early. The staff was great! He greeted me and was always friendly during the times that I saw him. He answered all questions and made me feel welcome. The room was in great condition for a $70 room. Neighbors were quiet and friendly. Neighbors even with their dog made it quiet.

The parking situation is awesome, maybe it gets crowded when the hotel is fully booked...maybe. The staff was sure to assist me in any endeavors i embarked upon, and their knowledge of the immediate area and land surrounding the establishment proved to be instrumental in my many, many quests during my stay. I dont believe im being overly dramatic when i say that without The Ingleside hotel, its entirely possible that i would have been ambushed by pirates, and traded for regular beans to a traveling organ grinder, for his former monkey assistant's tattered old work uniform. Gratitude.
