All was fine. This is an older Inn but still holds some charm. The room is very large with small kitchen/seating area, nice couch in front of large TV and comfortable beds. The room we got this time was fine but they haven’t yet updated the bathroom.

Where to start… we booked a suite that was in bad condition… frozen in time between the 70’s and the 90’s… fridge froze the cans, eveything is painted around like its been done super quick… smells like paint and reaks of an old humidity smell. Smile less person greets you to begin eveything…. Endless yelling in hallways. Everything is far away. Avoid this place. I will give them one thing… lots of parking.

This is my new favorite place to stay when I go to the casinos. Price was more than fair for what you get. Area felt very safe and more importantly it was nice and quiet so I was able to sleep. Beds were comfortable, plenty of towels and room was very big. The only downsides are no shampoo (have soap) in the bathroom and they don't have coffee but a few places to choose from to go get some. I wen to Dunkin 5 minute drive. Gas station conveniently across the street. Overall A+

Fair Quality for Price

Old dreary furniture, dark carpet, fair to dim lighting but generally clean. The washroom/bathroom was brighter and more friendly. No clocks in bedroom - bring your own!
