A lot of potential but OVERPRICED
This is a cool property, love the unique and rustic character of the lobby and on-site cafe and restaurant as well as the unique character of the decor of the rooms. Having said that, the rooms are basic and a but dated in terms of finishes and amenities. My room did not have a hair dryer, which was disappointing. The breakfast at the cafe was a 2 in a 1 to 5 scale. The restaurant had a very limited menu and the food was also a 2 in a 1 to 5 scale. Another disappointment is that this hotel is not affiliated with Marriott, or Hilton, or IHG, and they don't even have a frequent guest program of their own. IMO, too many dings for what they charged!

Disliked: Amenities
I paid $400 per one night due to my daughter's Gmea orchestra. However even they did not provide the breakfast. Also due to the severe noise of the heating machine, I couldn't fall asleep even one minutes. I'm very disappointed about the condition of the Inn.

Easy ck in process and on line booking w hotels.com. Felt overpriced yet it was comfortable and overall clean except a musty smell upon entering our room. Very comfortable bedding and good hot shower. Wish we had more time to stay and enjoy. Hope to be back soon
