    complimentary snacks
    unpleasant odor
    uncomfortable bed

    The complimentary snacks were a nice touch!

    My experience at the hotel was far from pleasant. The room was not only unclean but also had a terrible odor that was hard to ignore. Additionally, the bed was extremely uncomfortable, leaving me with back pain throughout my stay. I brought up my issues to the staff, but their response was lacking and they seemed indifferent to my concerns.

    The room was spacious and clean, which was a pleasant surprise! 🛏️ But the damp carpet gave off a musty smell that was hard to ignore. Overall, decent for a night’s stop.

    I had a pleasant experience during my recent stay. The staff was hospitable and made me feel welcome. I found the room spacious and equipped with two sinks, which made it easier for me to get ready. The availability of hot dogs and cookies in the lobby was a nice touch after a long day of travel. It was convenient to access the interstate without much noise from the outside. Overall, it met my needs without breaking the bank.

    Better seating options in the common areas needed.

    The hotel had a fresh smell, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. However, the condition of the room was disappointing with mold issues in the AC and some cleaning necessary on the bathroom fixtures. Definitely a mixed experience.

    clean pool
    enjoyable location
    friendly staff
    soundproofing issues

    We stayed with my teenage daughter and enjoyed the indoor pool, which was clean and fun. The location was ideal since we were only 10 minutes from the Henry Doorly Zoo, a perfect outing for our family. The staff provided a warm atmosphere, making our stay more enjoyable.

    In my wife’s opinion, better soundproofing would help with noise.

    affordable prices
    room size
    easy access
    poor cleanliness
    inadequate breakfast
    noise disturbances

    The Western Inn offers a great value for the price. The rooms are spacious and have all the basic amenities I needed, including a microwave and fridge, which was perfect for storing snacks and drinks. I loved that I could prepare simple meals without needing to eat out every night. The staff members were friendly and accommodating. I appreciated their willingness to help me with any requests. I felt comfortable and safe during my stay, which is always a plus. However, the hotel's cleanliness could use some improvement. I noticed some stains on the carpet and the bathroom could have been tidier. The breakfast options were pretty limited, lacking variety, and I missed having eggs or meats to choose from. Additionally, the metal bed frames were quite noisy, making it hard to get a good night's rest when the neighbors got a bit rowdy. Even though I enjoyed my stay, a refresh in cleanliness and breakfast offerings would elevate the experience significantly.
