It was nice and clean -- looked recently renovated (e.g., new bathroom fixtures). Had some nice features: fridge, micro, hair dryer, make-up remover wipes, built-in shelves, free parking. And it was very well-priced.

"Disappointing Experience and Poor Service" Our stay was quite disappointing. When we requested room cleaning, the staff responded that they were too busy and unable to help—an unprofessional and disrespectful reply. The king-size room with a kitchen was not clean; the gas stove and oven were dirty, and there were leftover dishes inside the oven. The toilet didn’t function properly, there were no bath mats in the bathroom, and the room had an unpleasant odor. Overall, the condition of the room was very poor, and we were not satisfied with our stay.

The inn was extremely clean. The staff were always available and very helpful. The room we were given overlooked a parking lot for truck rentals but it was very quiet. I will stay there again for sure
