This hotel was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Even though it is a nonsmoking facility due to its age it holds the old smoke smell. The hall carpets definitely need to be changed. The ceiling in the bathroom was peeling and shower stall was very outdated. Some areas of peeling on the walls. The staff was very nice and I might stay here again but the photos are misleading.

The process, the staff and the breakfast were all great. The bathroom however, was subpar and the humidity within the room was not bearable; had to check out early due to the humidity. The beds were moist, left out clothing was moist as well due to it.

The staff were good, the lady in the breakfast room was awesome. Beds were clean and comfortable. The only reason I didn't give it better review was because the rugs in the room were nasty, afraid to walk bear foot on it. And the bathroom had mold.

This “inn” was pretty disgusting. Not a big deal but elevator wasn’t working (was told it broke “that” morning). Walked to the room and the smell in the hallway was terrible. Smelled like rats nest. Got into the room and it was nasty. Pillows were stained yellow. Giant stain underneath the top cover in the bed. Bathroom had a water bugs in the shower and old hair on the bottom of the shower. Just nasty. I would give it 0 stars.

Our room was on the first floor. It smelled a little musty, but was fine otherwise. Very comfortable beds. The shower was like an “old timey” oval shape, which was kinda cool, actually. The bathroom also had a pocket door, which is different.

The room was ok. The shower had mold stains and there was dirt in the corners. Our comforter had some weird stain on it but smelled clean. The room had a damaged drawer in room 221 I didnt get charge for it but notifed the staff of the issue. Its not anything spectacular but it was clean and it got the job done

As far as a place to stay one night, it was acceptable. The bed was comfortable, although the room smelled like feet the whole time. The free breakfast was very disappointing, mostly just offering sweets. The pool was a nice size.
