I’ve never been so disappointed in a hotel! We arrive and pull up and it literally looks like a deserted shutdown hotel. The picture from the app of the courtyard absolutely looks nothing like it does. There are weeds everywhere and things are overgrown, the pool was clean, but the concrete all around it is in need of a total redo. We had to walk up the stairs to our room and we literally thought the stairs and the platform were going to cave in. We had to walk up the stairs to our room and we literally thought the stairs and the platform we’re going to cave in. Our room was clean, simple, very outdated, didn’t even have fresh already wrapped up toilet paper and thankfully, we did sleep well because we brought our own pillows. The app said there were washers and dryers, but all the washers and dryers, snack machine and ice machine all said “out of order.” So whoever did the advertisement should be so disappointed in themselves because it looks absolutely horrible on the outside. I feel like I paid a decent amount of money for two nights that we did stay, for a place that looked like it was rundown, extremely outdated and falling apart!! EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED & would sadly NEVER recommend anyone going there!

This place was ok for our little weekend trip. Staff was very helpful and nice. Outside looks rundown and kinda crappy. The room was average though and no real complaints. Definitely a place to go if you dont care about the look and just plan on using it to shower and sleep.

Very good budget hotel

If you go in with high expectations, this is not the hotel for you. We were perfectly content with it however. Our towel rack was broken and one of our sink drains was stuck in the down position, but we had 2 sinks so we used the other one, no big deal. It smelled clean, the beds were comfortable and the shower had good pressure and hot water. This is all we need when booking a room. The best part is that it was nearly half the price of all the franchise hotels in the area. I’d recommend this place to everyone.

BEWARE!!! The pictures on the web site are not current. The picture of the inn resembles the inn but maybe 50 years ago and never maintained. The picture of the courtyard doesn't exist on the property and i have no idea where it came from. The room was filthy. Bathroom door was broke and couldn't be shut. No curtains on the window just 3 old accordion blinds that were filthy. The AC units cover was busted and the inside of the unit was covered in mold. I shut the unit off and tried to go to sleep. I called several other hotels in the area and they had no vacancy. We were only there overnight to pick up a car and go home so we just went to bed early and got up very very early to get out of there. I also doesn't get all the 5 star reviews on their website. I go through Expedia with most of my travel needs to try and avoid getting into this situation. I may need to rethink doing this. I'm especially surprised that Expedia had all the old pictures of this inn. I never would have book this with current pictures. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!

Thought we would give this hotel a try. Should have cancelled before we checked in! Property is old, outdated and not clean! Locks on doors are sketchy, dirty carpets and floors, door to room was hard to open. The beds seemed like they were 20 years old. We brought our things to our room to only put everything back in the car and go to a different hotel!!!

Sketchy Dated but nice staff

This hotel is dated and would have been amazing in the 80s. The desk staff was friendly but the place has a rundown grimy feel. The pool was dirty but could have been fine with a good skimmer and run the filter. The sketchy part was some of the people staying here.

Rooms in disrepair, no safety chain on door. Advertised coffee in room no coffee in room but had coffee maker. One hot air pot in lobby with two small containers of grocery donuts, very few electric plug options. Not been updated, painted for long while. No tv remote. Manager programmed new remote when reminded later that night. Did not feel safe as an older female in surroundings.

We read reviews that said this place a decent and clean so we booked. Don’t believe good reviews. Our room smelled like an old ashtray we had to buy air freshener just to tolerate it. The furniture and curtains were at least 50 years old and smelled. The carpet was sticky. The property is not maintained and very outdated. It was too late to get refund, but we almost just left.
