Val-U Inn

First off, I almost didn't get a room. I walked in to check in and they looked at me as if I was lost, referred me to another hotel that was probably where my reservation was. I confirmed the address, and I was in the right place. I went to get my reservation from my car and sure enough, I was in their system. It seemed as if they were overbooked and cancelled all their reservations about a month back. They said I would have to get a refund from *******, well I booked through AAA. All in all, they gave me a room. This room was the worst I have ever seen, and I am not super particular. There was no cable/satellite, just a coax cable hanging over a mirror with a copper wire hanging out of it. The remote had been chewed by something, I assume a dog as this place is pet friendly. There were cigarette burns on my comforter and bleach stains (I hope). I noticed blood droplets on the carpet. The room smelled of cologne. I did check for bedbugs and that was about all it had going for it (as I didn't find any evidence). Now, I realize that this may not have been a room they were looking to release as they didn't even realize I was coming. This was the weekend of the eclipse and the entire town was booked out, or I probably would have tried another hotel. In their defense, the staff was really nice. They sent a guy out to fix the tv reception, and he was there promptly and a nice man. The front desk staff, while seemingly frustrated that my reservation had not been cancelled, was very nice.

Bed sheet was stained, only one bath towel, and cigarette burns in coverlet. Very noisy. Room felt a bit dirty. Hotel is currently undergoing renovation. They are catering to long term stays and signs with rules are everywhere. Staff is very friendly and tries to be helpful. $50 security deposit charged a checkin and rebated in the morning when you check out.
