Ratings were high but the staff was hardly ever at the front desk, our stove top in our kitchen did not work and you have to pay for parking ($20/day) on top of what you’re already paying. It’s very old and run down. I guess you get what you pay for.

When we arrived the room had not been cleaned. The front desk person got us into another room quickly. The hotel is dated but bedding and mattresses were clean and comfortable. The outside area needs cleaning as there was cigarette butts and other garbage on the ground. The breakfast had lots to choose from and was decent. Staff was kind and helpful.

I will start with the positives . The staff were helpful when we had to change rooms due to my husband hurting his ankle and he could not use the stairs. The hotel is close to the Wego bus line and attractions. Now the negatives. The hotel had a bad smell to it. The pool was gross. It had stuff floating in it and it smelt really bad. It needed cleaned and shocked bad. There are also no washrooms near the pool, so if you did use it, you have to go back to your room. The rooms did not get cleaned or clean sheets when I put my clean room tag of my door. They just took out the trash and that was it. When i needed towels, I had to walk to the desk to get them. The breakfast was not very good and the area you sit in is not big at all. They have a big area were they could put more seating , but instead the keep equipment and other items there. If you dont get to breakfast early you will not get a seat. They will not allow you to take breakfast out of the room, even if there is no room to sit. They make you throw it away before you exit. Breakfast ends at 9 am sharp. The breakfast had same thing evey day. Scrambled liquid eggs, patty hashbrown, sausage, yogurt, oatmeal, toast, bagel, waffle station. It was ok, the sausage was over cooked. The grounds of the hotel had trash around it. The stove top in the room will not work unless you bring a metal pan that a magnetic will stick to. They don't tell you that. Bottom line if you are on a tight budget it will work, otherwise do not go.

Cheap rate, for a reason.

Much of the property was old and run-down which gave it a generally dirty feel. It looks like maybe they were in the process of updating it, but I'm not sure if they were done or still going. There are no views from the site, that we could see, so don't think you'll see the river from your room. Our room was "upgraded" on arrival to what they call a "suite" on the 4th floor, and there are no elevators. The entire 4th floor, including our room, stank of decades of greasy cooking. There were dead flies in the room and the cheap thin flooring was cracked and pulling up. The AC unit in our room did not work properly - it thought the room was 93F, so it ran constantly no matter the setting. The only options were to turn it off and wake up soaked in sweat or leave it on and freeze. The included breakfast was decent, and parts of that area had been renovated. The pool area was run-down, but the pool itself looked reasonably clean, and the sauna was functional. The hotel staff were polite. So why did I give it 2 stars and not 1? The main reason is price. I have no idea how this got a 7.6 rating on this site, but if you know what you're getting into and price is your driving factor, then you may be satisfied here.

The Inn is located on the main street along the water. The room is sufficiently big, and has all things you need to stay (microwave, stove, sink, and a large fridge). It seems clean enough, our door was in need of repair. The breakfast was basic continental breakfast. Service was nice.
