Cons:

No reservation thru booking. Com was found when we arrived. Location found a room (ADA accessible) after a long wait. The room had black mold forming on the ceiling in the bathroom. Breakfast was mediocre at best. Staff was friendly and apologetic. We would not stay here again.

Pleasant, affordable, and great location!
Pros:

The breakfast was great - so many wonderful hearty and healthy options.

Cons:

The lighting in the rooms were not very bright - and the lighting in the bedroom was very dim. This is my only note!

I would hesitate to stay at this location again
Pros:

The staff was friendly. We extended our stay by one night and had to remove all of our belongings by 11 am and return at 3 pm to check in. I don’t understand why we couldn’t keep the same room. That was frustrating.

Find another hotel
Pros:

We have stayed here several times over the last few years, but never again! It has become obvious that the management/owners of this Inn are taking out all the profits and putting nothing back into maintenance. Just a few of the issues: room still not cleaned 1 hour after check-in time; power blinds didn't work; key cards quit working; only 1 ice machine working; torn bedspread; loose toilet seat; etc. Even the breakfast was sub par: the oatmeal was stuck in a large blob; they only put out 12 cinnamon rolls (gone in 1st half hour) . Although they admitted to having more, they were told not to put them out. The rolls cost $.53 each (my brother sells them). They are scrimping so much they can't even put out their signature breakfast item! Do your self a favor and find another place to stay!

Pros:

Es war alles in Ordnung.
Aufgrund einer defekten Jalousie haben wir sogar eine nette Ermäßigung erhalten!

Disappointed-dirty room!
Pros:

We reserved the room for the weekend. Upon arrival we first noted the dirty commode (see pics). I called down and ask for housekeeping. I was informed that they leave at 3:00 and I could come down and get cleaning supplies. Then, we noticed the white residue on the desk area, the hair in the floor areas, and the dirt on the floor. I really believe the sheets were changed and new towels were put out - that’s it. The breakfast did not have regular coffee creamer for the first morning and the pancake machine wasn’t working. In hindsight, we should have ask for a different room or changed hotels. But, we were there for a conference and our time was limited. Very disappointed with the room, especially paying $180/night!
