Inn has a swimming pool. Place is old but still decent and the room has a microwave and a frig. It is decent because it has the basic amenities for a stay.

Gross
This is absolutely NOT. Nonsmoking property. Several cigarette butt receptacles throughout the property. See photos. Rented 2 rooms for a family trip. First 2 rooms smelled like ashtrays. One was so bad we couldn’t last 5 mins in the room. Front desk said they couldn’t move us but after I told them my daughter has asthma, suddenly they could. They showed me a room on the second floor to verify that there was no smoke smell. Then gave me keys to 2 rooms. The second room smelled like BO but at least not like smoke. Carpet was very soiled and the room had not been cleaned well. Literally pubic hair on the wall. Thick black hair on the towels. When we turned on the heater the stench was terrible. They were suddenly sold out so we had to keep the room. Will never stay here again.

The staff was wonderful. The lock on my room was stuck and it was the last room available. The night manager went out of his way to help me find a room after a long day of driving. His service was the highlight. The room I needed up staying in was superficially clean, no bugs, but the maintenance and upkeep is lacking. Overall, great service, and for how much I paid, I guess I should not complain.

It was not terrible considering the price. The gentleman that checked us in was very friendly and helpful. Initially the room they gave us was clean and nice. However the lock was broken and we had to move. Second room was pretty gross but my youngest is autistic and likes to run off so the chain lock was a must. While I was not impressed with the room overall it was an ok place.

Nice clean place to stay.
Was greeted by Aaron and requested a bottom floor due to my wife’s knee issues. The next morning I had an issue with the Manager “Felipe”. Before checking out I informed him that the washer was not working and it took my $3.00. He told me he can’t do anything about it, Told me to get the tel # from the machine and to call the company because they can’t do anything about it. I went to get the number but there wasn’t any. I informed him and he came and checked it out and also found nothing. He than said that he’ll call and later came back and return my money. I also told him about urine odor that my wife was smelling and that housekeeping should check it out. He told me that why didn’t I report it in when I checked in so they can transfer us to another room. We came from Clovis, Ca (approx. 3 hr drive) for my wife’s 57 th Birthday and took her for lunch. Later we signed in and was helped by Aaron and was very helpful (Thank you Aaron). The manager asked me again, why didn’t I report it in. I explain to him that we got our room, brought our stuff in the room than left to go to places that we plan on going before we head back home the next day. I was just informing him about the smell was all. I told him that I was just informing him about it. I told him that he had an attitude. I asked him if he was the owner or manager and told me he was the manager. I told him that I will make my comment about our stay and he said to go ahead. It is a clean place compared to the other one. ….

Stay was good overall but bathtub in one of the 3rd floor rooms was very slippery inside at the front end of the tub and I slipped out of control leading to soreness and bruising. It is dangerous and risky.Headboard also needed to be cleaned of dirty greasy handprints. Thank You.
