Clean little hotel to stay in for the night. Not fancy / just a great place to stay for the night. Beds were comfortable & clean. Front deck were friendly. Easy check in & out.
The hotel was clean and comfortable. The room had a refrigerator and a microwave, which was very convenient. I also appreciated that there was an ashtray on the balcony. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and I would recommend this hotel.
The shower head was loose and leaking along with no water pressure. We stayed four nights and they only serviced our room once. We had to ask for towels and toilet paper at the office. The staff were friendly though. When we entered the room the first time it smelled of bleach so we knew they had cleaned. For the price it was okay.
Other than the beds, and the elevator needing to be replaced, my stay was nice! The staff were very kind and accommodating and other people around me were respectful and kept the noise down which is huge for me. The room was clean and I liked how they have an actual blanket instead of some sheet they like to call a blanket.
As for the elevator, it was obvious that it was old, it kept stopping on the second floor regardless if anyone was getting on or off it, and there was a door you had to open to get on it which I found weird.
Grounds are worn but maintained. Pool area was clean and central.

Parking is good , the man that attended me was very kind . Room was clean but the bathroom ceiling does need some work. Looked like there was mold in the ceiling shower.
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.
Everything is in incredibly great about this little hotel. I love it. Incredibly nice staff. Very very clean. And not at all expensive. It’s wonderful.

Fast check in process with a waived deposit.
Elevator permit outdated a few years.
Decent room but included damaged furniture.
Convenient laundry facilities.
Ice machine down below.
Balcony access from room.
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
