What guests think
Across recent reviews of Relax Inn, travellers consistently praise the friendly, accommodating staff and low prices, while many note the property feels dated and the free breakfast is basic compared with expectations.
Cleanliness and upkeep are inconsistent, with recurring reports of odors, stains, and housekeeping gaps. Room comfort varies; guests mention squeaky or uncomfortable beds, small aging bathrooms, and occasional missing or broken items, plus unreliable in-room features like locks, lights, TVs, or Wi-Fi. Facilities are limited—pool closures and some out-of-order equipment, rough parking areas—yet the location is convenient to the interstate, restaurants, and shops. Expect a basic, budget stay where service stands out more than amenities.

Facilities
Pool frequently closed or under renovation; some doors and equipment didn’t work, and the parking lot has potholes. Overall facilities feel dated and limited.

Smell of stale smoke underlaid most of the property. Facilities are tired - including the small pool in the midst of what looks to be a multi-year renovation. Hotel’s website inaccurately identifies their breakfast options as notably more luxurious than reality. The people with whom we dealt were lovely, but unable to pull rabbits out of their hats to make a he place any better. The sheets were clean and overall it served its purpose for us and we are thankful for that.

Check in at 3, we got there just a few minutes early and told it was just about ready. Went up at 3:15 and not even started. No wash cloths for showers or sink. Teeny Tiney Toilet! Low and small. Door going from outside into bldg did not lock at all. Strong smell of chlorine in hallway, I think they were working on the pool area. Beds were comfy though and that's all we really needed. So for the price, it worked.

The staff was nice and efficient. The coffee was great and breakfast included waffles, muffins and cereal, but was lacking gluten free options. The room was clean, but the whole place needed lots of upgrades. (The pool area was ripped up, so maybe they’re starting there!) Dark, unwelcoming hallways. The bed was lumpy and squeaked when you sit on it. The room was damp, musty almost and you could smell old smoke, even though it was a nonsmoking room.

The bathroom looked very out dated and there was a spatter of something on the bathroom sink light. The tv didn’t work, it just came up as a blue screen with no signal. The mattress had liquid stains on it but the bed was clean as well as everything else was clean. The pool was closed. And I couldn’t get my room door to lock which bothered me the most. Breakfast was great with a lot of options and staff were really nice and helpful.

DO NOT STAY HERE. The hallways in the rooms are dimly lit. The room smells of bleach over urine. The towels were dirty. There was a hole in the bathroom door, which did not shut completely, although there are signs for new noise after 10 PM, people continued yelling. At 6 AM, people were honking their horns in the parking lot. Management seem to be absent the whole time, only one young man worked the desk, and he said nothing. In the middle of the night, I contemplated, leaving and trying to find another hotel nearby.

Staff were friendly at check in. However the room wasn’t very clean. Bedding had stains on it and one of the pillow cases had hairs on it. The toilet didn’t flush properly and the tub was also dirty. The flip lock was half pulled out of the door frame. Breakfast was good with waffles, bagels, muffins, yogurt, fresh fruit and cereal options. There were lots of food and shopping options near by.

I had to ask to change rooms immediately upon being assigned the first, as the smell was terrible there, was a pubic hair on the tub, and stains on the fitted sheet. There was caked on soap on the sink which leads me to think this room was hardly cleaned. Staff was quick to get me another room, however, the mattress was incredibly old and low quality. Every time I moved I could hear the springs creaking, and it was sinking in the middle. At one point I woke up in the middle of the night worried that the bed was going to collapse in on itself as I heard two springs connect and get caught on the other. The TV remote would only turn on the TV, any other buttons pressed did nothing but light up the power button.

Can definitely tell it's an old hotel that they just repainted over. Bathroom looks like they just keep trying to put new grout over old. Most of the towels were grey\yellowish. Sheets were clean but had old stains in them. Big stain on the carpet. Overall seemed pretty run down. Pool was apparently being re-excavated or something, sealed off with piles of dirt around it, etc. Also VERY overpriced for what you get. Charged $230 for a Friday night one queen bed. Should not have been more than $100 ight for that room. Bed was also VERY creaky. I think the rooms next to mine probably heard every time I even rolled over. WiFi not very good either, phone could connect to the Wi-Fi fine but kept getting time out or no Internet connection error messages, got a better connection using the Wi-Fi from the McDonald's next door

The place was clean and comfortable and the staff was so very friendly that it really helped to overweigh my 2 frustrations. The continental breakfast was lacking - plates were out, forks were out, and they were refilling the waffle batter when I came down. The hot water for tea tasted of coffee, and I'm very sensitive to coffee. There may have been a vent in the bathroom (there appeared to be one), but it did not work. The bathroom is really tiny, and the humidity was pretty heavy. Overall, I was satisfied with our stay! Thank you.

First, I had to walk through a cloud of cigarette smoke on my way into the front door as patrons were standing in front of the door smoking & conversing. Second, the gentleman checking me in was very polite and accommodating. Third, the worst part, on the way down the hall to my room, I noticed a terrible smell, like garbage or dead fish. It still smelled foul the next morning. Fourth, although my room appeared clean, the bed wasn't that great. Fridge worked. This place is . . . vintage ? Continental breakfast was offered but I chose to sleep in. Fifth, the next day as I was leaving, outside I noticed a junk pile in the back that included old mattresses. Also, what appeared like a homeless encampment under a tree at the edge of the parking lot. I suppose it could have been an area intended for smokers. Overall, for the price, I had a good night's sleep and I didn't hear any dogs barking. That's a plus !

Dining
Breakfast is basic to mediocre—mostly continental with waffles, baked goods, and limited variety—and was sometimes poorly stocked or misrepresented online. Isolated complaints include moldy bread and lack of gluten-free options.

Smell of stale smoke underlaid most of the property. Facilities are tired - including the small pool in the midst of what looks to be a multi-year renovation. Hotel’s website inaccurately identifies their breakfast options as notably more luxurious than reality. The people with whom we dealt were lovely, but unable to pull rabbits out of their hats to make a he place any better. The sheets were clean and overall it served its purpose for us and we are thankful for that.

Fridge didn’t work. No bath towels in room. Pool demolished but not listed as. Dirty hallways and entrance. No toaster at breakfast, but items requiring toasting provided. Will not return to this property.

The staff was nice and efficient. The coffee was great and breakfast included waffles, muffins and cereal, but was lacking gluten free options. The room was clean, but the whole place needed lots of upgrades. (The pool area was ripped up, so maybe they’re starting there!) Dark, unwelcoming hallways. The bed was lumpy and squeaked when you sit on it. The room was damp, musty almost and you could smell old smoke, even though it was a nonsmoking room.

The place was older, but keep in good condition. Comfortable and clean. Staff excellent. Breakfast so so. If you're looking for a light breakfast its fine. We walked next door to Perkins for breakfast. Reasonably priced.

The place was clean and comfortable and the staff was so very friendly that it really helped to overweigh my 2 frustrations. The continental breakfast was lacking - plates were out, forks were out, and they were refilling the waffle batter when I came down. The hot water for tea tasted of coffee, and I'm very sensitive to coffee. There may have been a vent in the bathroom (there appeared to be one), but it did not work. The bathroom is really tiny, and the humidity was pretty heavy. Overall, I was satisfied with our stay! Thank you.

Was ok for the money. Clientele appeared to be mostly construction workers. Breakfast was weak, no hot food only continental. Staff was friendly. Over all the property is due for a renovation. Wouldn’t stay again as we found better accommodations for just a few dollars more.

If I would have seen recent pictures of how the hotel was, I would not have booked the stay. There was garbage all over outside the hotel, broken furniture outside, leaf size garbage bags in the hallway, liquid trail down the hallway, the door frame to the room was broken so we had to use our shoulder to get in and the pool was under maintenance which I have found out afterwards it has been for six months.
