Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Check in agent at the desk was great. The room was not in good shape, though. It was clean, but it had a broken TV (no sound), broken phone, and broken fixtures in the bathroom. When I went to the front desk to report the issues, the door to the check in area was locked and no one was there. I decided to just get on with my weekend.

The room needed an upgrade. Old, frayed carpet. Outdated TV. Just an overall older/rundown look to it. The car next to us in the upper parking was broken into- glass shattered. Bed was comfy though! Mini fridge was great. Free parking and location was good. Room was quiet.

Castle Inn solved all expectations. Mine was far above an average stay. The room was comfortable and clean. A slight odor of disinfectant is my only complaint, but how much can I complain about that? Its presence is more assuring than its absence.
