When we arrived at Aviation Inn, the clerk was very friendly. She was polite, courteous, and seemed to go above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Check-in was quick, too. The room was adequate. We've certainly stayed at FAR worse places. We knew when booking the room a month prior that this wasn't some up-to-date hotel with all the amenities of major hotel chains. We're simple people, though. The non-smoking room smelled of cigarette smoke. I would suggest the owners shampoo the carpet and replace all the furniture. There's a gap under the door letting daylight (and probably bugs) in. The smoke detector is missing. The knobs on the end tables were either missing or falling off. The bed was lumpy and sunken in. By the way, just two flimsy pillows for a king size bed? Really? The bathroom needed serious renovation, too. Just check out the photos. Whenever I stay anywhere, the first thing I do is take photos of the room. These things weren't enough to make us look elsewhere or go to the front desk to complain but I do hope the owner reads this review and makes some much needed repairs and changes. After leaving for the airport for our return flight, we realized that we totally forgot to check out. Completely slipped our minds (so sorry!). I called the front desk and let them know. The woman said not to worry and that she hoped we enjoyed our stay. Overall, we were satisfied with our stay. Yes, the rooms are very dated and in need of a major renovation but the service is good, the rates are very affordable, and the location is convenient. There are much nicer places in the area but we would stay here again. Thanks!
