So please note that i am a very basic person with what i consider "Weird" basic likes. This is a well-aged Rodeway Inn AND its way off-season so super great price! #1 The HVAC unit has a "constant fan on" setting - HUGE WIN! (I love white noise). ****Subsequently this helped drown out the professional clog dance family above me***** #2 The dude at the front desk was super nice. Hard to find these days. #3 Room was basic BUT clean!! #4 Bed was just right - not a bean bag and not a cement slab. Great sleep. #5 Awesome shower pressure although I needed a calendar to track how long it took to get hot water. I did get the end room furthest from the front of the building so the hot water had to travel a few hundred feet. Great basic room to get rest and refreshed.

I normally don't leave poor reviews. I just chalk it up to experience and let it go, but an honest review would have prevented me from booking here. There was a hair in the sink, a hand print on the towel and the blankets smelled like they were sprayed with pine sol. We cleaned the commode seat ourselves. The heater only blew cold air. We contemplated just driving home but we were too tired. The picture displayed here is not a true representation of the room we stayed in. The staff were friendly and apologized that we we had no heat. This room was not worth the $357 I paid.

Good location, close to an excellent brunch place. The structure is old and the accomodations are not fancy, but all the basics were well covered: clean room, comfortable bed, steady hot water, even heat and cooling in the room, solid wifi
