The Moriah Cottage was perfect for our stay! It had a gas grill, well appointed kitchen, ample sleeping options (including a King sized bed on the first floor), and a washer and dryer. If you stay at the Top Notch Inn, do yourself a favor and get dinner at Nonna’s! From the fresh made pasta with marinara, Italian sausage, and Chicken Parmesan, everything we ate was PHENOMENAL! Don’t forget to save room for dessert!!!

Great service, not such a great room

Our room was on the first floor. The room was on the corner of a side street and busy Main Street. Our door was about 10 feet from a stop sign to a side street. It was very noisy. The air conditioner blew directly on me-l had to block it with a pillow. The refrigerator made weird noises. The people were nice, everything was clean, but we did not get a very good nights sleep and it was one of the most expensive rooms.

It was ok to stay not so great for entertainment or anything else decided pool. Pictures online and real motel is like day and night deferent. I was so excited when I saw the pictures I thought my kids will enjoy outside. But, when we get there is nothing for kids to enjoy outside. Good thing I can charge my car on the parking. I don’t have to look for outside. It was nice. Thanks for everything.
