I stayed at three hotels during this five-night, six-day trip, and Tidy's Inn was by far the best. The staff were incredibly helpful, respectful, and friendly. I will definitely stay at Tidy's Inn again on my next trip, and I've already told all my friends how wonderful it is!

Free mini golf with our stay was a bonus. Room was small but comfortable and the price was right. Shower curtain is too short so the water poured out onto the floor. Nothing major though.
