Photos of hotel on Expedia website is very deceiving. There was mold on walls and ceiling in bathroom. Bedsheets and covers were dirty. Front desk was rude and inattentive. Breakfast was cold. Overall very disappointed in hotel and felt scammed by photos online.

Said they were “pet friendly” but didn’t want me to bring my Service Dog into the breakfast area because they thought it would bother the 2 other people in there eating. I finally just took her in there and the people loved her.

Nearly ruined my girlfriens birthday weekend.

The sheets hadn't been changed. Room was dirty. We changed to another room. Stilll not toal clean, the tv didn't work. The attitude when we checked in was not friendly or polite. We will never stay there again. Also had to pay $100 deposit. I have never had to pay a deposit unless i had my dog with me and then it was oonly $50

Nice Inn for a Great Price

We really enjoyed our brief stay at this inn. Our room was clean and comfortable. The AC worked amazing and the staff were friendly. We were on the front side of the inn so the noise from the road was a little loud, but it wasn't horrible. I think if your room was on the backside it would be fine.
