The main problem I had with the Inn is that I'm a heavy-set person and not having an elevator and with the stairs only at each end of the building, it was a chore to get my luggage up to the 2nd floor. Also, the doors at each end of the building were locked, you couldn't even use your room key to enter them so I couldn't even park at the door nearest the stairs.

Otherwise, the person, I'm sorry I didn't get her name, at the desk was very good and helpful in every other way.

If you are traveling between Flint and Lansing, then this is a great place to stay. Durand is a small town, but this hotel is just as good as any bigger town would offer. Quiet, clean, and well run!

This is a pride of ownership property whose hosts are over-the-top in the provision of service to guests. Clean, spacious, tastefully decorated rooms with all the normally expected amenities. (My wife even noticed the nice light fixtures.) The breakfast is superior, offering a large, clean setting and a nice selection of food and drinks.

The Shah's have done a really nice job of making their property a special stop for travellers.

I probably missed this little tidbit since I booked the room via the 800 choice number.
I booked a double , but seeing this place doesn't have any elevators and one person in my party requires a wheelchair. I called the hotel before booking the 800 number way...and asked if I could be assured of a ground floor double.

They said yes, didn't mention the rate diff....so I called 800 and booked it. I arrived at 6:10 and was informed at the counter that it would be $4 more dollars than what 800 quoted.. No biggy just an unpleasant surprise , I'm sure it's on the web site someplace.

It s no worse than the 1.50 safe fee choice loves sticking to their customers.

There was a business meeting taking up the breakfast refreshment area till 9 P.M....so no shot at getting coffee..from the bfast area.. I tried to make coffee in the room ...but as luck would have it the coffee maker was broken..

Not a lot of towels.. and the wifi doesn't reach to room 105 . had to go eithernet. Hallway especially near pool smells like an indian restaurant. Decent mexican joint Rancho grande in downtown.
