Pleasantly Surprised
We were pleasantly surprised with Emerson Inn! We were just driving through and needed to stop. We were skeptical because the price was so good, but decided we could do it for one night. We were VERY pleased! The room was very clean and comfortable. The bathtub could use a little tlc, but everything else was great! If we're ever driving through again, we would definitely stay here!

Not a 5 star but it works for a place to sleep.
We were really only looking for somewhere clean to sleep at night. This place had a lot of great recent reviews so we decided on it. Everything did seem pretty clean. The property could benefit from some updating and renovations. The bed was not great..... not the worst ever but again... not great. We arrived at night and the parking lot was a little sketchy.... people just sitting in cars.... cleaning cars at 10 pm or later in the parking lot.. staff was helpful when i needed more towels.

Friendliness goes a long way
Upon checking in the guy at the front counter was not pleasant at all. The drawer wouldn't stay shut. The door lock was sticking a little. Then in the morning it stopped working. If you was on the outside you could get in. But if you was inside you couldn't get out. Guy came to look at it and asked, what wrong with it, what you do to it? 1. I'm the guess not your maintenance guy. 2. When a guess tells and shows you that pushing handle up or down don't work. You done accuse them of break it. 3. Fix the drawer between the beds. It shouldn't stay open all the time. 4. Housekeeping should be resetting the password on inroom safes after every guess. So next guess can use it..
