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.

Room was clean. The options on TV chanels was a good variety. Plenty of parking. Decent options such as target, lucks and fast food all a couole of minutes away The only draw back was the shower. The wall had a hole in it the size of a quarter and the water presure was non existent. I began refering to it as a misting closet. Overall a good no frills place to stay if you need a place to crash.
