“What this inn lacks in polish, it balances with clean, functional rooms and notably friendly service. Its location offers practical access to Smithfield's shopping and dining. For travelers prioritizing value and a quiet night's sleep - perhaps with a rooster's wake-up call - it's a reasonable choice.”
