Top Whaley House Museum Hotel Reviews

Old Town Inn

8/10 Good

"We booked a suite with a pullout bed and separate room, as there were 5 of us traveling. I will say the pullout needs more cushion and more blankets which we grabbed from closet. The queen beds were awesome and comfy! Location was very convenient to airport and local food places we made sure to visit upon arriving!! Such as In- n -Out burger! Right around the corner from Rosecrans st. Pretty property, don’t try to park big trucks as the lot is small. Great host upon check in and complimentary water and tea. We did not take advantage of the morning breakfast as we headed out early. All in all great for what we needed!!"
