Liked: Property conditions & facilities
This was NOT the place we stayed. There was no lobby that looked like this at all. Merrill Field Inn was where we stayed. The rooms were clean, but we were unable to adjust heat, sheets were thread bare and beds were extremely lumpy. The staff was great and personable and accommodated us with a fan to help cool the room.
