The staff barely spoke, and most of the interactions were done through gestures. The room was super clean, and the bed was comfy. Great for the price.

Easy check-in. Room smelled and looked clean. Room was roomy in spite of the king size bed. For the most part, our stay was quiet with the exception of a very loud altercation early one morning. We would like to suggest having a place to hang our clothes.. We plan to stay again at Valley Inn.

Did not feel safe. On our first stay, there was a scuffle and shouting next door in the middle of the night that lasted for a long time. We gave this place another chance. On our second stay, a car alarm went off in the middle of the night and the police made an appearance. But their questions were not about the attempted car break-in but of another nature. We will not be returning.
