Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were well-appointed and comfortable, perfect for a boutique hotel experience. They were charming and spotless, although a bit on the small side, but since I didn't spend much time in the room, it was not a big issue. The service was friendly and helpful, adding a welcoming touch to my stay. As for the location, being on Main Street, I could explore the area easily, despite some restaurants being closed on Mondays. The dining experience, although could use some improvements, was sufficient for my needs. Overall, a decent value for the money.
My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were a bit too cold for my wife, but the large tiled bath was a nice touch. With less than 20 rooms, the place felt cozy and was clean and nicely decorated. While there were some minor issues, it was a pleasant stay overall.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with clean and comfortable rooms and a very helpful and friendly staff. The location was convenient, providing easy access to nearby restaurants. The dining options were sufficient but could use some improvements. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall positive experience.
After a very long drive to get there, this small hotel's rooms were very clean and had plenty of room. The modern conveniences in the nicely done rooms made the stay comfortable. The service was very helpful and welcoming, going out of their way to assist guests. While the dining was pretty minimal, some improvements could enhance the experience. The location on Main St was convenient, with several restaurants nearby, but many are closed on Mondays.
The hotel is located right on Main St in a quaint older town off I81, offering a convenient spot with various restaurants around. The rooms, despite being small and old, are surprisingly spacious, modern conveniences, and exceptionally clean. The service is welcoming and goes out of their way to assist. The dining could use some improvements but still offers a decent selection with a possibility of homemade eggs. The facilities are well-maintained and add to a comfortable stay with good value for money.
