Quiet, clean and cozy with space for 4 people to move around in comfort.
Could have used a kettle to make tea.
This was our second visit would stay again!
The shower was nasty. Moldy and nasty looking. The attached bar blasts music until 1am. Beds were clean and the mattress was ok. The place is cheap but not cheap enough to allow the shower to look like it did.
We booked this place as it was the only place available for the night we needed to stay. We were a bit nervous as there was a lot of negative reviews, despite it being outdated it was spotless & had everything we needed. Staff, locals and the whole atmosphere was A . The lounge was great, we will most likely be back next time we’re in the area.

We were there for only one night but the staff was super friendly and very hospitable! The hotel is old but rooms were well kept and clean. The adult kids had a great time playing pool with the locals!!
Mold in bathroom could not stay in room. Pass keys back in that night and left the property. I should get a refund. I took a picture of bathroom but can’t paste it in this message. But I can see email of pictures. Just let me know where to send. Thanks
I liked everything about it & i would definitely stay again

Couple next to us fought both nights we stayed we could hear them clear as day while they had their argument inside and outside their unit. Room was fairly clean and exactly what we needed for our short stay. While the room claimed to be non smoking, it is clear it was smoked in with the nicotine dripping from the bathroom ceiling.
Walk to the park was great. Friendly waitress. Breakfast eggs were good

We stayed one night as a stop over for louisburg fort and cabot trail. Room was clean, but dated, a/c worked, and for what we needed ( a 1 night stop over) it was fine. This is not the Hilton, so dont expect it to be. It is the only inn in town and for the price point was fine for our family
