"We had our flights changed and the Inn let us come back to our room before check out time to get some much needed sleep. Their driver was our taxi to and from the airport multiple occasions and even took us around town a bit. I am extremely anxious about bed bugs and when I saw how old the room looked I was concerned but the room was very clean!! The only thing that would make this five stars would be that the shower head was not working very well and it was luke warm water. Other than that it was fabulous. The driver (I forget his name) was excellent. Great humor. If me and my hubby are back we will stay again and definitely catch a ride with him again!!"
