Check-in was a disaster

I called ahead at 9 pm to tell them we would be in early in the morning. When we showed up at 5 am they would not let me check in. Had to wait til 9 am so we could check in.
Eric, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

OK at best

Western Inn is a little dated. The staff were very friendly, but the room could use some attention. The beds were extremely hard and uncomfortable. There were unpatched holes in the walls of the bathroom as well as an stained towel left for the floor mat.

Rooms too HOT - actual temperature!!

The room was very warm - hot. Clerk did give me a fan - but I actually was sweaty. Because of this slept very poorly. The halls were cooler than the room
Pam, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Terrible

Entering the building it was misty smelling. No clerk. We had to ring a bell still. Nothing so then had to call. The place was dirty. We didn’t even eat there for breakfast. One of the reasons we stayed there was for the pool and the kids didn’t even wanna swim in it because there was bugs in it and there was underwear on the counter in the boys bathroom and the toilets were disgusting. If anything I would like my money back, but I don’t think that’s gonna happen.
