"Exactly what you'd expect of a slightly older hotel. Great staff, fine amenities, fantastic location- just a slightly older facility. We enjoyed our stay, and would return."

Torch Lite Inn

Torch Lite Inn

8/10 Good
"Location was fantastic. Staff were very nice. Air conditioning worked great. Easy to park. Felt safe. The place could use some touch-ups. Our room smelled overwhelmingly of cleaner when we first arrived, so we had to open the door and window to air it out. True to the smell, the room was mostly very clean (especially the bed linens and towels)--the only issue was some mold in the bathroom. (Guys, I think it's time to replace that shower curtain.) I hope they do something nice with the dirt area that apparently used to be a pool. Would probably stay again--honestly, the biggest deterrent would be having to deal with the overwhelming cleaner smell again."
