Ya know the ol saying "Dont judge a book by its cover"? Well don't judge this inn on first appearance either! When i first walked in the rooms were neat and clean, the beds were made up, clean towels (which is a must) & I dont feel crowded at all & I always feel like Im crowded! Staff came and vacuumed with no complaints! Didn't complain because i have 2 small messy children either which shocked me so that's a bonus for them! Cleaning staff just left my room & were super friendly! The lady talked with my 4 year old like she known him forever..the man was super nice as well! Perfect place for the construction worker! Few of crew is staying here as well! Oh and if you work nights they clean while your at work.
