Very budget motel for not so budget price. However, the staff was friendly and accommodating, it was clean, beds comfortable. I slept well so can’t complain. Cute town and good location I was able to walk to several nice restaurants. I would stay again I just think it’s a bit overpriced.

Hotel in general was very clean, inside and out. The only thing we didn't like was that even though we stayed for 3 nights, no one ever came to bring us clean towels or empty trash. Other than that, it was a very nice stay.

Our experience at cardinal inn: The staff was very nice. He upgraded our room which we did not expect. The room was clean and spacious. We were there just to sleep then move on the next day. All was well except for one issue. I had my toiletries bag on the window ledge (not any space for these things in bathroom) and the next morning there were gazillion ants all over my bag. Unfortunate. Otherwise a great place to stay.
