All in all it was just okay, the hot tub was not working, pool had too many chemicals in it, burned your eyes. Pillows are very high and the tv remote did not work, also not cleaned the best, skittles in the drawers.

I have stayed at the Fairgrounds Inn for a long time and I have sadly witnessed its slow decline into mediocrity. Although the rooms are still clean, the shower head in our bathroom was awful due to almost no water pressure. It was like a drippy faucet. The continental breakfast in the mornings was below average. I would recommend either... More

There are NO cofee makers in the room!!!! Coffee service is at 5 am in breakfast area or go to McDonald's, as we were told to do by front desk clerk. The hot tub was closed. The pool closed 1 hour earlier than stated on website. The bathtub is dangerous as there is nothing in bottom of tub to prevent... More

I have not stayed here, but recently put a few people who were visiting me for work at this property. I saw the rooms, the breakfast....and asked them both about their stay. The rooms were clean...very clean. The beds are comfortable. The complaints are that there is NO WIRELESS service and the breakfast offerings were weak. I also think the... More

This inn has really gone downhill since it originally opened. There used to be a wonderful hot breakfast and that is gone replaced with basic continnental items. The rooms don't look or smell clean anymore and the bathroom amenities are pathetic. ( The bar of soap is barely larger than a postage stamp.

We were in town for a family funeral. The staff made every effort to make us comfortable. They even laughed with us when two of us got locked out of our rooms. We had 5 rooms and were all pleased. Enjoyed the stay despite the sad reason for being there. Will certainly stay again!!!!!

The hotel itself isn't so bad, but the manager/owner is quite a foul-mouthed woman. Our experience...we were awakened around midnight by loud music and shouting in a room next door by local town residents who apparently come to the hotel to party. After a phone call to the front desk, the night clerk asked them to calm down, and finally... More

I recently stayed here. Rooms are fine. 3 out of 4 pieces of equipment in the fitness room were broken. Hot tub has serious electrical problems- I don't recommend using it until it is fixed. Hotel staff was informed and did close it, though. It seems their quality control is lacking.

I stayed here for 3 nights because it was the most expensive place in town and I like high class places. First off, my towels were stained. I cannot wash my face with a stained towel. Then I saw a line of ants on my windowsill (on the inside of the room mind you) It made me feel very uncomfortable.... More
