Western Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"The place was very run down. The price was great but wish they could fix something. Ceiling in bathroom was ruined, bathroom floor cracked. Light by window was coming off the ceiling. Window was propped with a stick to prevent people from coming in I assume. Pool needed a new paint job on the bottom. Bed was hard. A safe place to sleep but definitely needs a good remodel."
