I love that Casablanca Inn is privately owned and operated. The gal at the front desk was very helpful suggesting a number of places for dinner within walking distance. Enjoyed a burger and sandwich at the nearby brewery. Our room was clean and spacious. Free breakfast this morning was great- saved us time from having to go someplace else for breakfast. Would stay here again!

Dirty upon arrival, pool and hottub were gross and unusable. Picture didn’t even match the room they gave us looked 15 years old when online everything was modern. The room had hair in bathroom and wasn’t cleaned at all. They also charged me an Extra 50 dollars after I left. Really bad experience only postive was the pizza place up the street.

The front desk staff are so lovely! An elderly couple was ahead of me and the staff was so patient and helpful. The courtyard is very enchanting and tranquil. I happen to strain a back muscle and after 3 hours of sitting and driving, I was stiff, to say the least!! When I opened my door and saw a jacuzzi tub…what can I say…God is Good. And Casablanca Inn is so Good!!
