What guests think
At Western Inn, reviews describe a very budget stay with frequent cleanliness problems, widespread maintenance issues (especially weak or nonfunctioning air conditioning), and mixed service, though some guests appreciated low prices, basic breakfast, and occasional friendly staff.
Facilities draw criticism, with the indoor pool frequently reported closed, dirty, or very cold, and several notes that there is no elevator. Rooms are dated and often uncomfortable, with very hard beds, broken fixtures or windows, unreliable TVs or Wi‑Fi, and noise from nearby trains or thin walls. Location is convenient to highways and the zoo, but several guests found the surroundings sketchy and noted nearby road construction. Expect a low-cost stay with significant trade-offs.
