"Valley Inn review Relatively quiet stay the occasional train made quite a racket. The bathroom was clean, but the shower curtain was not long enough to keep water in the shower and the floor got soaked. There’s no bathmat. I had to use an extra towel which I had to request from housekeeping. There is an ashtray in the room. Not sure why if it’s a non-smoking room.

"Apparently this hotel is being sold soon, so maybe things will improve afterwards. The floors were so dirty that the kids’ socks were black, no toiletries were provided besides a bar of hand soap, towels were very thin, the air conditioner malfunctioned, the bedspread was torn and the pool was in bad shape. The man at the front desk was friendly, though."
