The Inn is so unique and attracts a wide diversity of guests. It’s always nice to have a simple, yet nice breakfast and meet others from different corners of the country. Housekeeping is outstanding! I’ve stayed in chain hotels that were suppose to be at the upper end and their housekeeping and guest services fell short compared to Mother Earth. Good secured facility with awesome pool and decor.

What a gem! The lovely decor both in the lobby and room was so fun. The 70s vibe while old, all of the furnishings were new and very clean. Staff is friendly and helpful. Bed was very comfortable and sheets very soft. The pool was a lot of fun and having grills, putt putt, ping pong, shuffleboard and swings were nice options. So many great walkable dining options. Mother Earth Brewery (obviously) fantastic and Jay’s 108 was amazing and worth the drive alone. We only live 20 mins away and can’t wait to come back here!
