Room worked in a pinch, but probably wouldn't stay again. It didn't seem like a vacuum was used on the floors, and there was mold in the bathroom. Our beds seemed clean. During the night, we were startled by rockets set off below our balcony. It was random, but we did notice several people "camping" out around the perimeter of the parking lot.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
- Staff was nice and attentive, however they requested a $100 deposit for the room on TOP of my online reservation once I arrived, which I was told will be "given back in 6-7 business days." I imagine this is to prevent people from damaging the building so they can . - Room was clean, but had obvious maintenance issues. Caulk seals in the bathroom were missing and some of the tiles were cracked so there WILL be future mold from water. Air conditioning and heating was reasonable for the summer weather via a small wall mounted unit. - Parking is tight in the back, but reasonable in the front. You are fitting MAX a modern 1/2 ton sized truck, don't try anything bigger.

The rooms where clean, the staff; Jared at the counter was very welcoming and very helpful, the cleaning personnel was very nice. Each room had a small refrigerator and a microwave in it. The Inn didn't have an area for breakfast, my family and I ate out for breakfast and other meals which was ok, the Inn was very centralized to so many stores, restaurants and other amenities

The property was well located and had what you needed. The deadbolt did not work and has one of those basic coffee machines, but there are plenty of coffee shops in the area. The room was clean and served as purpose. Definitely no frills, but would stay here again.

Staff was friendly. Room was clean. Property was a little more rundown than I remember, could be kept up a little better. Was given a room with no view or balcony. Other than that no complaints. Would stay here again as long as I get a balcony/view.
