Black Bear Greets You With Expressive Eyes

I can't comment on breakfast as they don't offer it but they do have a cafe where you can purchase things. The only thing I'd like to change is the bedside lighting. I read before I go to bed and the lamps are diffused so it's not quite bright enough for my older eyes! Everything is new and well maintained -- the rooms are lovely. And check out the great black bear painting as you enter the main lobby building. He has a great personality!

During our family's New England road trip, this was by far our favorite hotel. The room was super clean and had a modern feel (the photos posted are a true resemblance of reality). It was a comfortable stay. Would've been nice to have access to hot water for tea at the lobby; but the girls at the front desk were more than willing to help out and grab some from the cafe if need be. The price was more than reasonable. And I would definitely stay here again.
