The inn had a really gloomy atmosphere, and the person in the next room, who seemed to have schizophrenia, was yelling all night without anyone trying to stop them.

Nice!

I had a wonderful stay. Check-in was quick and easy, and the staff were warm and welcoming from the moment I arrived. My room was clean, and comfortable. The location was great! with plenty of stuff just a short walk away. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would happily recommend this hotel to anyone.

There was baked in hair on the sheets and this made us sleep on the covers and wear a hoodie to isolate from the ickiness. Pictures of the rooms condition don't match up. Probably a file photo from when it was new. Real condition is like 20 years later of the same and now frazzled on the edges. Would not stay here again. Surrounding area does not inspire confidence. Would not walk out to neighboring eaterys without feeling like you'd get mugged or stabbed, took car to go a block away.

We have stayed at this motel several times and we’ve had no problems whatsoever. The staff is courteous and the motel is decent. We can go to the store and there are several places to eat within wakking distance.
