The hotel is a mix of convenience for business travelers and families, offering a suite with two double bedrooms that can be handy for those with children. However, the noise level in the morning can be a downside, especially for light sleepers. The room with a Queen bed is more suited for business travelers who stay up late working.

The Dunn Inn provided a comfortable stay in a safe area just a short walk from the city center. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, going out of their way to assist us. While the room was clean and the daily housekeeping was immaculate, the lack of exterior windows was a downside, with only beautiful stained-glass windows to admire.

The staff was incredibly accommodating, especially when my luggage was delayed, offering to take me to the mall and bringing it to my room. The location was perfect, allowing me to walk to downtown easily and feeling safe. The dining experience was decent with a to-go breakfast option. Overall, a great value for the money.
