We were in the motor lodge section which is away from the main inn. The room was spacious and spotless but the decor was mishmash with no color scheme. Highway noise but nice balcony. The inn itself is just lovely with all the staff friendly and helpful. Loved the historic look and feel.

Check in was smooth and easy - seems to be an older property - but in a really good way! BIG room for a really good price; the room we were in was a building far from the main property (not ideal in the rain) but it meant couldn't hear noise from restaurant or people coming and going. Nice fluffy towels - would stay here again if i the area

Strange but clean room

Room very clean. Wallpaper will give you claustrophobia and if you like wildlife, particularly deer, very sad to see them stabbed on every wall in every area. Only ONE hanger in my room. Unable to open sliding glass door. Traffic from highway very loud, also heater.

I have been comin here annually for years. While rooms in motor lodge are dated its part of the charm. The staff is always excellent, rooms clean and dinner on site is always terrific with great service. Cant forget cinamon rolls omg and if you get there early check what pies are avaiable...they will hold for you to take home next day!

The girl at the front desk was not very friendly. I was probably the only one staying there that was not going to the flea market that most people staying there were going to. I had never been there before and had no idea where anything was. The girl at the desk gave me quick instructions where to find my room. She also told me breakfast was at 7. I ended up asking people how to find my room. Next day I was waiting around until 7 to eat breakfast. Surprise, the bakery opened at 6 because of the big sale going on. Would have been nice to know. While I understand the place was extremely busy, could have taken an extra minute to help out this first timer. Food was great, location was great. Only problem was the front desk
