When I made my reservation, I was a bit worried. Frankly, there were some awful reviews and some of those were documented with photos. Still, I forged ahead and crossed my fingers. What I found was better than expected. The exterior and area are fine. This Inn, like so many others, houses a fair number of people who are "in transit" but I experienced no problems at all. I found the hotel quiet and in decent shape. True, the paint, carpets, and furnishings badly need to be refreshed but my room was acceptable and far better than some dives I've seen. I would return.
