Mission Inn

8/10 Good
"I will be back because the room was cleaner than others in town...there were many garbage bags full of trash all over the property at 4 and 10 pm...so no one was planning to pick them up? The front desk guy had the worlds worst b.o. and had a gross room freshener in the lobby to cover his scent but it wasn't working. Luckily the room wasn't stinky at all. There was a hair on the toilet seat and stains on the shower wall from someone dying their hair? Overall, its doable for the price and with no carpeting or scent in the sheets, its good enough for us!"
