I stayed at The White House Inn in May 2024 and it was OK. The place is clean enough. It's next to train tracks so it can be noisy at times with the passing trains. We used the meeting room for a family event and it went well. It cost $75 to use the meeting room for the afternoon but it was worth it.

We asked for them to specifically stay out of our room and not clean it as we were only there for 2 nights. Sure enough...they came in while we were gone. The property is old and sad, the owners have to renovate or tear it down. At least the price was cheap! Thats the best I can say about it.

The property was old and outdated. It was clean and served its purpose. The room was musty and smelled but overall clean.

There was a huge group of young 20 year old kids running back and forth to the pool yelling and slamming doors at midnight. The front desk staff knew who I was talking about when I called to complain so why didn't they tell them to be quiet before a complaint came in? They did quiet them down very quickly though so I'm happy about that. The pool though why is it open for people at midnight?? Otherwise the hotel smelled very strongly of weed everywhere when we first walked into the lobby. We aired out our room with the window open but again why is the hotel reeking of weed?

It was honestly a decent experience that I can't complain about, could've been slightly cleaner in some areas and maybe a little more up to date but the staff were nice, the property is always quiet and the people are respectful. The free breakfast in the morning is a plus side as well. Overall a good place if you need somewhere to crash and not looking to spend too much money.

This is a budget friendly hotel. Bed was good and room was clean. This hotel desperately needs some repairs. Nothing special here. Continental breakfast was a box of donuts thrown on the counter and coffee.

Motel is just by a railroad and kind of a warehouse district. The only real problem is you have check in at 11:00 am and it’s 2:00pm. Hotel says they have attempted to correct this with success.

It did the job. Front desk staff was dressed pretty sloppy. they were friendly and helpful. the entire 1st floor reeks of cigarette smoke. The elevator flooring has a plank missing from the middle. Got us out of the rain for the night. Bed & Shower was all we needed.

Needs aesthetic work but clean
I rented 6 rooms. It had terrible ratings but the best price. The ratings were unfair and I believe vindictive after what we experienced. It’s as good as a Super 8 for a breed price.

I checked into my room at 7 pm on Friday night. I was gone until 10:15. Upon returning, I sat down for a few minutes and then got up to go to the bathroom. There was paper in the toilet and it was yellow like someone used it. The toilet seat, around the screws and near the back of the toilet (by the tank) was dirty. GROSS. Also, the drain in the alcove sink was broken. I called the front desk and asked someone to "come up to look at a few things." The woman replied, "I'm the only one here until 11pm. We can send someone up at that time, or I can come up." No one came. (Not surprising.) The entire place smelled like an ash tray. The continental breakfast was a joke. It was just glazed donuts, opened bread and bagels, (no jelly, butter, or cream cheese to put on it.) There had been some containers of cereal, but the seal was broken on a few of them, like they had gotten crushed in the crate they were being store in. I took photos of all of this. I'm never staying here again.

Would not stay there ever again. The several large and old stains on the mattress cover, plus the sketchy people hanging out in front of the lobby, and the casually dressed staff - gym shorts and tshirts. Avoid at all costs.

The outside is unkept. Checking in lacked info and a friendly welcome. Room smelled, I think it came from the air-conditioner. Rusted towel racks and rings. Bath door needed to be forced to close. The entite placed needed updated. Pay for what you get.

Better than the real white house
Not a bad place to crash for the money. The room was a little dated, but clean and quiet for our stay. AC in our room wasn't operating so it got really warm without the window all the way open.

Hotel was filthy. TV worked intermittently. Breakfast was 6-10, by 7 everything was gone except dry cereal. Every day. Tub drain was clogged, never fixed. Calling it a dump would be an understatement
