I arrived one hour and thirty minutes before the stated time i would be able to check in, and i entered thenoffice hreeted the clerk and asked if there would be a chance i coupd get checked in early. I was quickly met with the respincw that there would be a $25 dollar fee for an early check in. I understand policy but couldnt justify paying nearly a third the total price of the room for the night so that i could be in thenroom an hour earlier. The day was cold and wet since a storm had developed. I did not feel like standing outside in the cold winter rain and asked if it would be ok for me to sit in the lobby and wait out my hour until i could get checked in. Upon asking yhe clerk if i could find a seat in the lobbynto stay warm i was quickly met with the response "i dont think rhe manager would like that." As the disbelief of what she just said sank in. I looked around the easily 20 foot by 30 foot lobby to realize there were no seating arrangements even in the lobby. Lots of spots that could easily accommodate a chair or love seat, yet all i see are empty floors and clear walls. As i as i turned buttenening my jacked preparing to embrace the cold, I thought to myself how uninviting the lobby and staff came across to me. I just could not understand how odd and uncaring could this place be to have no seatsin the lobby for people to relax and then tell me I was not invited to stay in the lobby while I was trying to escape the inclement weather. It only got worse

I was miserable the whole time.

This was one of the worst stays I’ve ever had. Hot water went out on day two. The room was messy, crumbs in the seat. Damaged furniture and counters. The heater worked. Sorta. I was miserable the whole time. I thought it would be worth it to save a few bucks, I’d gladly paid the price of a better motel.

Me and my husband were placed in a room between two loud, uncouth parties who were up and outside until well beyond two in the morning. The walls are so thin you could hear everything, we barely slept. I cannot recommend this place based on the inability to relax and rest after a long day of travel.

I booked 2 nights plus paid for insurance. My sister has not been well. On the first day I called and cancelled the booking. I was charged for the first night. I was told that because I gave them a 24 hour cancellation notice I would not be charged for the second night. Expedia charged two nights and the insurance was ridiculous. (Pages of questions and they wanted doctor’s report).

Adequate

Adequate stay. Not necessarily good or bad. Bed was uncomfortable. After over a week stay, we were required to pay for an extra night to get a late check out after our flights got delayed. I understand it was not the Inn’s concern, but little compassion was offered.

The cabin was clean and nice but like any hotel room anywhere lacked obniince. It's kitchen lacked any utensils not a single fork. Not a pot or pan . couldn't heat anything. And the fireplace didn't work. We were told we were given the only room with a working fireplace. The room was freezing cold and took all the first day and night to heat up with the little wall unit. There was just a sheet a light blanket on the bed. They did provide two extra blankets when asked.

Vintage Rustic and Cozy

This was such a cute older little hotel with plenty of nature walk opportunities with a pretty creek running through the property. For the price it's good and I would visit again, my only complaint was the restaurant wasn't open at all and that was something we were looking forward to. I understand they are under some renovations and construction so I have high hopes for future visits. It's not a brand new hotel but it's definitely cute if you're into a more rustic vintage vibe which we loved.
