The Inn was exactly what it advertises itself to be. It was close to the airport with a shuttle. The rooms and exterior areas were clean. The entire staff was a pleasure to interact with. The grab and go breakfast had a wide variety of items to choose from and was regularly replenished. I visited multiple times for coffee!

The property needs work, inside and outside. The inside was so small, we could barely fit our luggage. The bathroom was soo outdated between the vanity, toilet, if you were big, you would get stuck between the wall and toilet, the tub was rusted or dirty, no
