Not so great place to stay but cheap

The facility could use updating especially the elevator and dingy hallways-was much better years ago when it was owned by Microtel. Also it was not easy to have check-in during week on Zoom-should have in person at desk at all times.

The Inn is looking very tired and old. Our room was on the first floor, looking directly at the parking lot, and there were no privacy shades, only the blackout shades. I like to be able to have some light in the room during the day but then there would be no privacy. There is no continental breakfast, there is only a water machine and one coffee urn in the lobby. The room/bathroom decor is very tired and the room was quite musty smelling.

Comfortable Hotel

This was a comfortable, clean hotel, a bit shabby but perfectly adequate. I’d stay there again. I did not like that people smoked right outside the front door, so when it was raining you had to walk through the smoke.
