Our stay at the Inn was very nice and quiet. Love the parking lot right next to our room. Rooms were very clean and roomy to walk around in. Check- in Workers very very nice and friendly. The gym on site could use air conditioners!!!

Hidden fees
I loved the place very, clean, presentable and convinient location. One thing that is very sneaky is charging for parking. If you have guest driving from out of town you know they will have to park somewhere, but where there is no where to park and then charge. Is like asking you for a glass of water and having to pay for the glass. Fine print on the website is what the night clerk said.

Room needed some deep cleaning prior to arrival. They were responsive though with a not running toilet. Great location to stay between Mont and Carmel.
