At check in, I asked for we were getting 2 double beds or 2 queens beds, the young lady said, 1 king. I said doesn't the reservation call for 3 people... More

We showed up at 12:30am aftera rock concert.Most hotels in the area were booked or wanted a credit card which we didn't have.The lady at the front dest was very friendly and understanding.Mind you we may or may not have been half drunk and dressed as 80s rockers.She was very kind and helpfull.

Service starts with the staff. Susan and Carmen are exceptional!! Location was great and the restaurant next store offered 10% off for staying at Village Inn. Rooms are very clean and the rate is very reasonable. We will be returning 2012 for the State Fair.

Only two handicapped rooms; only one with microwave and refridgerator; no handicapped parking; no luggage carts; not all that handicapped friendly; box springs has blood on it and almost all mattresses are hard and lumpy and old and in need of being replaced.

We just needed an inexpensive place to spend the while driving. The neighborhood isn't the best, but we felt safe. The room was clean. No hair drier, clock, iron. Very good for the money. Nice staff.
