The place had a smell to it, but got a little better once the AC was turned on. There was only 1 light bulb in the a 5 light unit in the bathroom, so was too dark, especially for women putting on makeup. There was a small "kitchenette" which was convenient but the fluorescent bulb over the sink burnt out. The carpet had staining throughout, that really should be deep cleaned. The TV was terrible, very hard to figure out the system they had for watching shows. It took a very long time to figure it out. The AC unit was noisy, but then again most are. lol The upside, bed was comfortable enough, along with the pillows. The hot water was instantaneously hot, VERY impressed with that! If we had to, we would stay again, as it was close to downtown.

The furniture was old but in good condition. The room was clean but really needed un update in carpeting and drapery. The building also was in desperate need of a paint job. But the bed was comfortable.

I had called the Inn a couple days prior to let them know I’d be checking in late as we had a show in Lindsay that didn’t end until after 10pm. They said it was fine and nothing further. We showed up after 11pm and the place was dark, looked like it was closed up. The sign said to call the number. So we did and pounded on the front door a bunch of times. After about 8-10 mins they opened the door and checked us in. I was really worried after seeing Google reviews vs Expedia reviews. We got the room that looked identical to the photos shown here. Perhaps they reserve the room for Expedia guests. Behind the beds was really dusty and cobwebs but otherwise was clean. We didn’t try to watch tv. Facilities were clean. The Inn appears to be family owned so doesn’t follow regular check in procedures as expected from other hotels. Take this review for what it is. My risk taking ended up being ok. Just not sure what room I would have ended up with had I not booked on Expedia. Felt safe. Beds were ok, not super comfortable or uncomfortable. I paid for what I got I suppose.

Tired, needs upgrading. Clean and the bed was good. Only issues. 1. The TV is complex to put on and find the channels, there are two changers. 2. The TV kept freezing, very annoying. 3. There is a mini kitchen, two plates, two bowls no cutlary and no way of making tea or coffee, you cant even boil water.

DO NOT STAY HERE!! This property is VERY rundown and dated. The wooden porch and stairs that lead to the upstairs rooms are dilapidated. There are vagrants living in the downstairs rooms. Each room is equipped with an old wooden chair and full cigarette butt can outside the door so they can sit out and smoke. We didn't feel safe enough to stay here. No refund policy of course otherwise they would have no income. Book at own risk!

Ron showed to us was not the one booked. Room we assigned smelled of urin and tons of air freshener spray trying to cover it up. Stairs to second level are loose and unsafe. Could not stay there. Would not recommend this property to anyone.

Do not recommend this hotel to anyone - it is one of the most disgusting places I have laid eyes on….and to think I got charged a goodly price for it as well. Outdated furniture, missing lightbulbs over the sink (only 2 out of 5 were actually in place), smelly like cigarettes (I do not smoke), no coffee maker, decor from the 70’s….it should be shut down.
