Thanksgiving stay
The hotel was clean, had everything we needed, and was conveniently located. However, the roosters on the property woke us up at 4:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., and the surrounding neighbors in other rooms were very loud when they unloaded into their rooms around 11:00 p.m. Were it not for our very poor sleep we would have given a higher score.

Unhappy
The rooms are very run down & old. The water drains are slow. Only one ice machine worked & it was on the far side of the complex. The restaurant they advertise is not open (which was a major reason for our picking this hotel). The staff was friendly! There were a lot of chickens & crowing roosters around that were cute. Definitely not worth the price; we will not return.

nowhere near as good at it was
Stayed there, nostalgically, remembering the place from 9 years ago. Bar and check-in are updated, which was nice, but the room looked old, refrigerator buzzed most of the night, bed felt worn, and the damn chickens/roosters made noise constantly. In addition, they did away with the nice breakfast for a sub-par continental offering and they added a $2.99 "convenience charge" for paying with a credit card. Do most of their guests pay in cash by the hour???

Too many chickens
This is a very nice little place but there is one big problem. There are many roosters on the property and they start crowing at 3:30-4:00 am.

This is a very charming hotel. It could probably benefit from some upgrades but it is very clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would come back in the future.

The bed was dirty with hairs in it, and the overall room cleanliness was just average. My checkout time was at 11 a.m., but I was locked out of my room at 9 a.m. I had to go back and forth to the service desk multiple times to get the door key validated until 11 a.m. The breakfast was mediocre, offering only standard options like bagels and muffins, which weren’t fresh and seemed to be leftovers from previous days.

Lots of potential and remodeling is in progress. However, checkin was delayed an hour, the room was dirty, and the commercial dumpsters for the adjacent shopping center are emptied at 3:00am.

Under construction. Water damaged room.
The Inn is under construction. The room was damaged and smelled like mold. Ceiling was stained by a roof leak. The toilet ran and ran. No breakfast as advertised. No food there at all. Roosters making lots of noise early in the morning. Front desk person was in a foul mood.
