Jonathan

Probably the worst place I've ever stayed. I spent 4 consecutive nights here, the wifi never worked, the TV service was constantly interrupted when the weather was perfect outside, the staff does not clean the rooms until you check out, same sheets the entire stay and trash is never cleaned out of your room until you check out, the rooms are extremely outdated, and thats just inside your room. Outside your room, there seems to be a nightly party in the parking lot right outside your window and no one ever clears these people that just linger and have shouting matches. They have a dining room for breakfast and dinner, but its only on select days. I could go on but I'd rater forget this Inn altogether.

Breakfast was pretty bad quality, buy no decent hot sauce for my powdered eggs. Also, OJ was un drinkable. Styrofoam coffee cups make the coffee taste weird.

The doors to the hotel would not stay open, making it difficult to get inside with baggage. The stairs were the only way to get to the second floor. With only one attendant, they were always busy helping other parties, leaving other guests to lug heavy bags up the steps. The tub did not appear to be scrubbed clean and the towels were very scratchy. There was a musty odor around/behind the bed, and the pillows were completely flat. The staff was nice, but this hotel is very tired and in need of some renovation.

Hard to believe that in 2025 that this establishment could not get their wi-fi up and running over the course of my stay from Monday afternoon until Wednesday morning. Also difficult to comprehend that the building has no generator in the event of a power outage like the one we experienced overnight Tuesday. Nothing better than waking up due to lack of oxygen because your C-PAP machine is no longer working.... If you get room# 236, pray that it doesn't rain. If it does you will be serenaded by water dripping inside the ceiling/wall by the door. No leaking in the room itself, but it will wake/keep you up. They give you a plastic gold coin at check-in to give to a staff member for going "above and beyond", in the absence of being able to find one, I awarded the coin to my wife since she managed to convince me to stay and was a trooper through the entire ordeal. The breakfast was marginal at best. Runny "eggs", stale bread, burnt sausage patties, NO BACON...

After arriving, we unloaded our travel snacks into the refrigerator which we found out the next morning was not working so we wasted about multiple sandwiches that we had premade and we also lost power while trying to just dry our hair. The power outlets on the table also did not work so we had to go to the store to purchase a plug with multiple plug-ins on it to use. The breakfast was not great. Eggs had so much liquid in them that they grossed me out. Sausage patties were undercooked or overcooked, none cooked right. The potatoes were overcooked as well. They didn’t even want you to bring your breakfast back to your room. If you only need a place to lay your head down and do not care about anything else, this hotel is sufficient but if you’re looking for a clean comfortable stay, this is not your place. Also, if you want to go to the restaurant in the hotel named waves, do not expect to get a meal. We put in orders and waited over half an hour to find out they hadn’t even started them yet.
