Needs a lot of work under new owner, is evidence of it being done. Beds are quite hard. In an effort to impress, room had a bed high enough 4 8ft man, then offered step stool. Reason: it was "1 of the nicer rooms." The microwave > wattage, short out whole room. Switch 2 reg room, smaller, no discount . Staff very friendly and helpful.

The ad said breakfast and pool available. They didn’t have either!! The attendants tried to be as helpful as possible without those but especially missed breakfast The fact that it was advertised was why we chose Derby Inn

The staff are just amazing. Kind and accommodating. They are in the middle of renovations but you can already see how amazing it's going to look when done. Very laid back atmosphere.

Water pressure is good and hot water doesn’t run out. I appreciate that. And the coffee station is kind for visitors. For what I paid I was happy. I only wish there was a hair dryer in the room

This is a basic hotel without a lot of fanfare, which I knew when I booked. A little dated with worn carpet and damage to walls. The room and bed were decent and water pressure was good. Staff friendly and accommodating. Some decent restaurants not far from hotel.
