The Inn at 1252
Room was very clean and nice. Location is just perfect and quiet. Only deducted one star because I had bought new socks from the mall across the way. I had them in a vans bag on the floor in my room. It said room service wouldn’t come until day 3. This was only day one. Well they took the trash along ...
