Not a great area but didn’t feel unsafe. Biggest complaint is the blinds. There is so much daylight and when we tried to go to bed it was completely bright in the room. Curtains aren’t long enough to block out any light so it looked like daytime while trying to go to bed. We stayed at other hotels in the area and didn’t have this problem. Smelled pretty musty in the hotel. Hard to figure out how to turn the shower on? (You have to pull down on the faucet nozzle). The stay was ok. It was close to the airport, so that’s where we needed to be.

The name caught my attention as I thought it quite quirky. Also very conveniently located for our departure to the airport. Unfortunately we had guests in the unit above ours who were very noisy until the early morning hours. The staff was under pressure with many incoming guests and our unit had not received the requisite attention.our unit

Mattress was broken down on both sides and VERY uncomfortable . Several “sticky” spots on the carpet that your shoes actually stuck to if you stepped on them. Very poorly designed room with the only sink located right beside the bed to the point it was in your way when you awoke in the morning (other side of the bed was only about 8-10” inches away from the wall. The room looked more like an hourly rate location rather than a legitimate hotel, especially for the price.

It is convenient when it's only for a few hours. For me it was mostly because of my early flight and the Inn has very good and friendly airport transportation. The front desk agent that checked me in was very friendly. The Inn is very dated and the bed was not clean. The walls are paper thin and there was a coming and going the whole night,which made sleeping impossible.

The only decent area was the lobby. The first room we were given was up a steep outside staircase. The room smelled like it had just been painted an hour before we went in, bright white but still old and very outdated. Pillowcases looked old and dingy. Finally, found us another room, so we hauled all the luggage back down the steep stairs, back across the parking lot, down the hall from the lobby to a decent room but still old, door handle on the room needed repair. The place needs a complete remodel or tear down, never again!

We had a Very late arrival from the airport, others were arriving too. With just 1 clerk on deck she was Extremely busy. We were exhausted from travel and someone offered to show us to our room (which wouldve heen easier to find just by going outside). The Elevator didnt work, so we opted for a walk outside. Room was fine but carpet definitely needs replacing. Bathroom clean. Lobby was welcoming. Muffins were available in the AM were delish! We were Extremely grateful to find a room at such a late hour after airline difficulties.

We walked into the room and the bathroom sink is a pedestal sink at the foot of the bed . Smelled really bad and exhaust fan was on. Bathroom door (closet size ) next to bed with stool/shower directly in front of stool with no room. to dress or put towels/clothes . We saw guest across from us who were equally unhappy and had two twin beds . We waited 20-30 minutes to get checked in and another to try and check out . Watched the girl who checked us in leave and when we tried to check out were told the girl who had just left was the manager and they had no way to check us out . The girl who said she couldn’t check us out appeared to be on something and it didn’t feel safe . She refused to give us a checkout slip stating she couldn’t until the next day and said we would have to get it from Expedia . She fave us a wrong number for Expedia . I went to holiday inn express and rented a room for 300 . Not sure I would use Expedia again after this experience
