I was very concerned booking this hotel after reading some reviews but it worked out well. The room we had has been remodeled and is nice for a simple sleep and shower stay. It’s not fancy or decorated but it was clean and the bed was comfortable. The location is so convenient and everything is walkable. The ice cream is good.

for a one-night stay, very acceptable. very small TV - but really just needed a place to sleep after a full day at the Glen. Clean room, parking was easy and the staff was friendly and helpful. no frills - the price was very reasonable with our travels through the area.

Convenient to the park. You are expected to check in using an app and we were not successful. Then someone helped us. Paving during our stay made parking more distant from inn.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
No closet, broken bathroom fixtures, a towel over the bathroom window for a blind, blood on the mattress, terribly loud air conditioner with duct tape around it. Bare walls. Just minimum lodging in a pinch. The photos in their Expedia page were quite deceptive. The location was Convenient, and the ice cream was good.

Had an amazing stay. Only issue was the air conditioner didn’t work but not a deal breaker. The rooms are as pictured. Everything was clean and the bed was comfortable. The location is great as well. Felt very safe and there was enough parking.
