My main concern was the high bathtub sides in our bathroom. There was nothing to help a person get into the tub in order to shower. I was not able to do this without assistance

Bathroom fan was not functioning which lead to black mold developing on the ceiling. Base boards looked like they hadn’t been wiped in a long time either.

The restaurant had good service & food. The waitress wasn't dressed appropriately for her job position. Our room was located next to the staff cleaning room & we could smell the chemicals in our room; the door to the cleaning supplies was wide open. When mentioned to the Front Desk person (who was not wearing a name tag) she disregarded the information. No view; just the roof & satellite dish. Parking lot next to Inn was rough; almost fell when walking. No headboard on bed. Pillows & bed uncomfortable. We are Seniors & asked about a room on the ground floor but Front Desk person again was very inconsiderate. She insisted we be on the second floor & had to climb 2 flights of stairs. Very inconsiderate Management!
