Staff are very friendly and professional. The room was spotless. Unfortunately the breakfast was sadly lacking — their supply truck did not deliver. I cannot eat eggs so the only thing available for me were Fruit Loops or Frosted Flake cereals. No fruit or yogurt. The juice machine was broken and started to smoke when someone plugged it in. There was no hot cocoa mix and I don’t drink coffee or tea. And no bread or muffins. Other than that, we would stay there again as we have had good visits in the past.

Disliked: Amenities
Staff’s customer service during the city having lack of water was the issue. Couldn’t use toilets or take showers, so that is not providing basic amenities which is what we are paying for. Yes, is lack or water the property’s fault? No. But their response is within their control. I requested a partial refund as we could not check out due to the fact that I’m in town for my Grandfather’s funeral and no reasonably nearby hotels, so yes, I should pay something but to take the whole hit? No. Expedia and this property dropped the ball as both shifted the responsibility on the other. Will not use Expedia nor stay at a sleep inn ever again.

We arrived late and left early the next morning so we only interacted with 2 staff members. Both were very nice and accommodating. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Overall, it was a very nice stay. We will be back in the future.

The staff was super friendly and the room was very clean and comfortable. The only issues we had were both related to plumbing. The hot water was not working and the toliet became clogged when we arrived, after flushing a single tissue.

This property was great. It does show a little age along with some wear and tear, but it is clean, quiet and the staff members were all friendly and inviting. Loved being able to stay here in the town my grandparents lived in for so long.

The hotel staff was very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and very well maintained. The bed was okay and the pillows were flat. The pool wasn’t clean but for a business trip it was an exceptional place. The town is very quiet and doesn’t offer very much.
