Needed earplugs
Directly outside our bedroom window were several exhaust fans for the property's restaurant kitchen. The fans were extremely loud and vibrated through the wall and headboard! We were told that the fans would stop running at 7:00pm. However, there was also a function that evening and they ran for several more hours. Additionally, we could hear the music from the function loud and clear. Given the laughing and singing, it was great time! Later we awoke to banging and loud noises that we assume were from the clean-up crew. The room was fine and we really wanted to enjoy our stay but it's very difficult to do with all the noises and three hours sleep.

Reliable stopover
Have stayed frequently on trips between Maine and NY. As always, friendly and clean. Great baked goods and coffee in the morning for guests.
Rooms are not modern if that is a concern.

Beautiful property, clean and comfortable rooms, and surprisingly affordable for the quality. Unfortunately we couldn't stay long since we were just passing through, but I will definitely make it a point to stay here again if I'm ever in the area again.

Something blue.
I purchased room for my daughter and her new husband the night they married. I INFORMED WELL IN ADVANCE AND EVEN CALLED WHEN THEY WERE IN THE WAY. .this place didn't even have a card let alone a bottle of water to welcome newly Weds. In fact. The front entrance was so poorly lit and hidden that the couple drive in circles for 15 min trying to figure out how to get in. The room was lovely. The staff. Very friendly. But again. No water or anything. They had to go all the way back down to desk in search of a simple drink to take medication.i just think with the cost there would be a little bit more attention to details. I'm also a little beyond hurt that I even spoke with them directly about my daughters special day and they couldn't be motivated.

Very convenient location and reasonably priced. Our room was a bit dated and could use a fresh coat of paint and deep clean. Wonderful bakery!!!

Service needs improvement and air filters cleaning
Depends who you talk to at the desk. The first young woman would not accommodate us to another room when I complained that the air conditioning was full of dirt so that when I turned the fan on I began to cough… and the window could not open. The second woman when I came back to insist asked the younger one why I was put in that room answered “just because I picked it up“. The older one then moved me to another room. Again, the fan was dirty and a housekeeper came to clean the filter. A window did open.
