Fine for an overnight stay.

The property was well kept. Free parking. The beds and room were clean and comfortable. Many pillows provided. The bathroom was clean but there was no exhaust fan. There was mildew in several areas but the cord from the hairdryer was terribly covered with it. We only stayed one night so this Inn was fine for us. Dated interior but mostly clean and comfortable. The staff upon check-in really could have been pleasant or welcoming. There was no greeting, no smile, no presence of any personality. It was extremely off-putting to me. It felt quite odd actually. But the room was fine for an evening and the location was great!

The room was extremely outdated. The TV was in the far right corner instead of being in front of the bed. The sheets looked filthy. The bathroom was nasty. I ended sleeping in my clothes on top of the bed spread .

This property and its staff exceeded my expectations upon arrival and my departure. Every aspect of my stay was truly a delightful experience. The staff was very gracious. The room far exceeded its competition with excellent quality room size, quality furniture . The bed was a clean supportive queen size bed Supporting my 6,3 300l pound body. Along with its nice clean smelling sheets and pillows and well decorated decor. The bathroom was very clean and had great water pressure with well maintained plumbing. I’d highly recommend this place for a great room and safe good nights sleep away from your home on the road. Thanks, Alex
