Cons:

They never changed the sheets - like a month went by before they cleaned or did anything other than take out the trash. The staff there were so rude especially one of the cleaning ladies - she had a bad attitude and i never even talked to them.

Stay far away from this place
Pros:

Liked absolutely nothing. Ghetto asf. Someone tried to break in to our room and we (3 young women) didn’t feel safe and wanted a refund and were refused. We’re in there for a whole 17 minutes and left. Signs of bed bugs, dirty bathroom, floors gross

Cons:

Everything

Pros:

Cons:

This was the worst hotel we have ever stayed at. We didnt even stay both nights. No curtains over bathroom window. Walls paper thin adjoining room people keep us up all night no phone to complain. ROACHES. No cups to brush teeth. The whole place was DISGUSTING. NEVER STAY AGAIN

I didn't, I went somewhere else! Don't stay at the bishop inn
Pros:

I made it to the hotel and did not like it, half the rooms was even being used. Building was old and rooms had a smell to them. So I did not stay, I went somewhere else!!

Cons:

Everything, the only thing I did like was the lady at the office, I asked to see the room she was offering for me to stay in and it was extremely little and had a smell and the building was old. She showed me another room which it was bigger but still had a certain smell and I just really really didn't like the property! But the lady was really nice

Cons:

The window in the bathroom had no blinds nor curtain so it was difficult using the bathroom since someone could see you. Also water was barley coming out of the shower head in the tub.
