I read the reviews before booking and thought "How bad can it really be?" Fights outside our room at midnight for two hours. Furniture being thrown around in the adjacent room. The manager told US to call the cops who took away the drunken neighbours. I got my answer.

For an older motel style Inn the conditions were awesome. The beds were comfy. The rooms clean. The kitchenette had what we needed and the TV had channels. We were in town for a sporting event and it was what we needed for the weekend.

For an older Inn it was ok. I booked my daughter and i a room with a separate room and bed in main area. In the bedroom there were 2 holes in the wall. One was from the door and the other one looked like someone punched the wall. The room felt like there was to much items in the room due to an floor model AC and a fan. Bathroom was clean but toilet was dirty by the tub side. Overall not to bad of a stay.
