Excellent experience. Lives up to the Historic Inn name. We loved exploring the lobby, restaurant and bar to admire all the unique antiques that are strategically on display everywhere youlook. The restaurant food is excellent. The full bar is classy and old timey, I couldn't ask for more than that. Every employee I talked to was nice, knowledgeable, and eager to be helpful. We will be back again
