I stayed there last week for 3 days for the good price this place turn to be a very good place their new management really put much effort to get Crown Inn upscale then it was before its service exceptional, property Management is top notch professional, rooms are bug free, it’s getting upgraded, work in progress, it’s quite all day all night, it’s pet friendly with pet fees nice front and back garden I love to walk with my dog friend onyx/german shepard , room decorator beautifully. Crown Inn is being upgraded not like it was 4 years ago all beds and comforter and pillow, linen are clean stain free and smelling good ,building getting painted and bathroom is in great shape
Really isn't a bad place, the new management is awesome!
New management , good people work with ya, n will make sure you happy/comfortable with room
I don’t know why there are a lot of bad reviews. Obviously it’s a one star hotel so the rooms aren’t going to be pretty. The main thing on any budget hotel “bed bugs” there where NO bed bugs which is what anyone should look for. By the way, all budget hotel travelers carry a can of bug spray anyways. If we all pitch in a little at a time we can make a better place together one step at a time. I mainly got this hotel to make sure there was heat on some of the coldest days, and to get over a cold. Not everyone’s heater can keep up in 20 degree weather. Great hotel for what I paid, the owners a pretty chill, and the hotel cats are nice.
