Expedia should remove this INN from their site.It might be OK for RVs. This Inn was a ripoff; it shouldn’t even rate a “one” . Picture your great grandmothers room with a faded bed spread and a soiled fabric chair. No place to hang clothes. The bathroom had no hair dryer nor even an outlet to plug your own dryer/shaver into. Granted I had a roof over our head and hot running water; but it was NOT worth $150; at best $50.

They did lose our room key, and tried to charge us $300 for a replacement. They stated that there was no way their housekeeping would have missed it and that they checked "many many times." We were hung up on twice and told "I am not dealing with you anymore." However, we decided to call the following day and insist on another room check... they found the key. The whole situation left a really bad taste in my mouth and the stress of the situation put a damper on the rest of our trip. Roomwise it wasn't bad. Kind of what we expected. Beds were hard but the room was clean and the rate wasn't bad. After this experience though I would tell everybody to take pictures of the room when you leave, and return the key to the front because this whole ordeal was just shady. 😬

Overcharge.
We were not able to attend due to illness. When I called the day before to advise they said they were charging me regardless. In this day and age that is unacceptable. The did not even ask me for a reason. Terrible service.

The bathroom door would not stay close, so no privacy. Bathroom mirror very poor. There was no security lock on the outside door. We expected a kitchen but only 1 hotplate & small fridge. We booked for 2 nights, left after 1 night. On the plus side the towels & sheets were all clean & new.
