We recently drove across the country and the Livingston Inn was one of our rest stops…read more The most memorable thing is probably the combination of rustic and modern. Most other hotels/motels looked basically the same so it was nice to see something different here. There were definitely some spots which could benefit from some fresh paint or something but it wasn't a big deal. The check-in process was on the other hand more modern. Not "we have an app" modern but they have keypad locks on all the room doors so check-in was handled through a text message (which included the door code). A phone call was also an option but texting was easier for me because we were on the road and didn't always have reception. Text messages also mean all the info would be available if I needed to check it later. We were only there to sleep so we didn't need any assistance, but if anything came up we would have had to call or text the manager since there was nobody on-site. Hopefully in those cases they can respond and/or show up quickly. We do sometimes have good conversations with the front desk people but a quick simple check-in is also great. The bed was comfortable and the shower worked well. The one surprise in the room was that the tv was on when we walked in. I'm not used to that but we noticed that Top Gun: Maverick was on so we ended up watching it.

Booked this place with an online booking app. Shucks it was the first time we've been disappointed…read more First the rooms have no carpet and that's just fine but my shoes stuck to the floor. So I text the manager and she said she'd come mop our floor. I said we were going to dinner so that was fine. When we got back our room then smelled strongly of vinegar. The beds were comfortable but the decor was very outdated. Except for the sticky floor it was clean.
