Got to wait a while to check in. Sustained an injury to my leg today with strong winds. Checked in then went to room to elevate my feet before dinner. Tstat set at 80 but mildly warm. Turned max to 90. 3/4 hs later still cool. Did get a new room assigned but a lot of hassle to move into another room. Not a lot warmer than what we had! Kept old room but got another thin comforter. Outside room and not convenient parking. Would not stay again nor recommend this Inn.

Temperature was 5 degrees outside and the room’s central heater and window unit did not work. Disappointing that this was a complete oversight from the staff.

The room was sub par didn’t look like the pics the room was freezing cold. First night some other guests were screaming outside at 3am and kept me awake till 530am and the second night I heard glass breaking near the parking lot it was the same occupants destroying their hotel room and kicking through the window and a man and women beating each other up in their hotel room. They set off the fire alarm in the building and had to listen to police and all that from 12am-4am. Next morning I go downstairs to see 2 more police officers kicking someone else out of the hotel. If your a single man with a weapon the price is fine but never bring your family here it’s not safe.
