Cleanliness
2.8
Multiple reviews report dirty rooms: stained/soiled sheets, cigarette smell in supposedly non-smoking rooms, black mold on curtains, dirty bathtub and trash odors—overall very poor cleanliness.
Service
8
Several guests describe staff as personable, friendly and helpful; however one guest reported poor management response to serious issues which lowers the score slightly.
Location
10
Positive reports emphasize a very convenient, walkable historic-town location, safe extra parking and proximity to attractions and restaurants.
Room Quality
4.2
Rooms are inconsistent: some guests found beds and showers good, others reported musty/cigarette smells, running toilets, gaps in flooring, broken curtains and missing shower curtains—overall below average room quality.
Amenities
5.3
Mixed mentions: on-site breakfast and a fridge are available but buffet needs updating; complaints include recurring Wi‑Fi sign-in, TV 'no signal', noisy AC and a propped/unstable fridge.
Value for Money
6
Some guests note cheap prices and comfortable long-stay value, while others feel the condition (mold, cleanliness) made it overpriced—resulting in a middling value perception.
Food and Beverage
5.2
Breakfast described as average with a recommendation to update the breakfast area and buffet options; no strong positive or negative consensus.
Overall Experience
4.9
Highly mixed experiences: a few glowing stays praising location and cleanliness, but many reports of serious cleanliness and maintenance issues (mold, smells, management response) produce a below-average overall impression.

Pros:

The floor had gaps and cracks between the boards, the room just felt dirty in general and a strange smell.

I felt the need to check the bed covers for stains and fresh sheets because it would not have surprised me if there was bugs or soiled sheets.

There was a cigarette hole in one of the comforters.

Hello
Pros:

We did not like having to sign in to Wi fi everytime we were in our room. After having gone out. Also we were 1st floor and people in room above us had noisy footsteps at 5:30 am and woke us up.

Loved it
Pros:

I really enjoyed my stay, it was convenient to beautiful attractions that was a short walk. Had sidewalks the way there not to mention it's right there in the historic town with amazing buildings restaurants and so many unique stores. The inn had an extra parking lot across the street very safe and quiet. Had some great pizza at Michaels. Room was clean smelled great the water was hot and the bed was so nice had a very rested sleep. What a calm town love it! Breakfast was great...owner was great...I don't know why so many bad comments! Thank you

Pros:

It was horrible and we were treated horribly by management when I pointed these things out to him I was told to contact Expedia. There was nothing he could do. Our food ruined because the fridge didn’t shut and they had a block propping it so we didn’t move the fridge and he came in and pulled the fridge forward and it shut. It was propped up on a block so I didn’t feel it was safe to move. There was black mold all over the curtains. Both myself and Son woke up sick. Couldn’t breathe and had to take Benadryl. There was trash that the maids piled up in a shopping cart right outside our door so the our area smelled like trash. The walls were dirty. It was absolutely disgusting and way of price for the amount of money we paid. That was like a $60 night motel quality. I just went through a mold detox and have been sick since we left there.

Pros:

Booked during Father's Day week. Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast average.
room older and a little musky but clean. High humidity, poor ventilation in bathroom contributing factor to muskiness.

Pros:

Weird smell, power switch for bedside light also controlled overhead light which made it impossible to sleep and conveniently charge phone, no channels on TV (got “no signal” error message)

Pros:

The room was 80 degrees, and the air conditioning wasn’t turned on. The air conditioning unit was making all sorts of noises throughout the night.

Pros:

I repeatedly had issues with the lock and key to my room (203). A trip to the lobby was required 2 of 3 days. “Well the light on that door doesn’t work so you have to listen for it to unlock.” I was told both times so they are well aware that a guest will struggle with that room. The first night the night clerk came to the room with me to assist, which I appreciated. The second night was just a reprogram of the keys, reminder to wait 2-5 seconds for the lock, & to listen rather than look for a green light from the disinterested clerk. The room itself was fine for the price point once I was able to access it.

Pros:

I liked the size of the room and full size bed. I liked that it did not have carpet.

The desk chair was awkward to move to get to the refrigerator. The arms kept it from being pushed under the desk. Put desk on other side of bed near heater Giving space for the nightstand, refrigerator and ironing board to go on the side closest to bathroom.
