Great staff who very clearly communicated that the property was undergoing renovations. There was some extended noise after 11 PM that seemed to come from a vehicle outside (nothing to do with the property but disruptive for someone staying on the 1st floor). Outside of that, for a tiny town, there are enough options for coffee and dining while visiting the area colleges etc.

Dated but quaint. The property was under serious renovation when we stayed, so I imagine updates are coming. But it’s a nice change from regular hotels. Right in town, by the water, and close to the college. Even a one night stay stop-over feels like a treat. You feel the ambience most in the warmer weather. Winter is brutal anywhere.

Thr Inn offered us a very convenient location for college tours. The parking was easy, and from the outside it looked great. The rooms were clean, but fairly dated. All the staff we encountered were extremely friendly and helpful. One even printed out a document I had left at home. We did not know, until walking through the doors, that the hotel was under renovation, so we walked into a front area with stacks of boxes and materials. While we didnt hear any noise, our room was on the other side of the major renovation, so walked past open construction to get there. We booked the Inn because of convenience and the promise of hot breakfast. Unfortunately, due to renovations, the breakfast was a cold grab and go. I just wish we knew of those things in advance.
