The outside grounds looked nice.
Very tiny room, no cups or spoons to make tea had to go look for staff for finding basic things like a bin. The receptionist is a person who just stares at you blankly with no…

- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.

Questions about Ascot Inn
What time is check-in and check-out at Ascot Inn?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Ascot Inn allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Ascot Inn?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Ascot Inn have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Is breakfast included at Ascot Inn?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Ascot Inn have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Ascot Inn have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Ascot Inn?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 2:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Ascot Inn?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
