"Room was supposed to be non smoking, but smelled like the inside of an ashtray. When the heat came on, the cigarrette smell coming out was overwhelming. Carpet was filthy (turned my white socks brown) and had a lot of hair on it. Hair (not ours) also on the bathroom counter. We knew going in this was an older property, but didn't expect it to be gross."

"Yes"

"The room was clean and nice. Ask for a top floor to avoid listening to people above you. It would be nice to have microwave in the room which is customary at just about everywhere..as well as a small section of freezer in the mini fridge. "

"This historic hotel was a great place for my sister and me to spend a night before visiting Hungry Mother State Park, where our parents used to take us back in the 60s. Staff helped with suggestions of where to eat (Macado's!). We wish there had been an easier way to get our luggage to the elevator - steps are required either from the front or side entrance, but realize that's likely due to the historic limits of the building. We would definitely stay again."

"Room was clean, however, the garbage can in the main room was not emptied out from the previous tenant. EWWWW! Needs a bit of updating - walls looking tired and the carpet was not especially clean. The staff was super nice and everything else was just fine."

"Shower was great! Temperature in the room would not stay consistent. Bed was not very comfortable. Breakfast was good with blueberry waffles!"

"Great location and price! It was like stepping back into the 70’s. Rumor has it, the complex consisting of multiple buildings tiered into the hill/mountain side (up to the highest point between the intersecting interstates and surrounded by pastureland) was originally a Howard Johnson’s! Worth every bit of the nightly rate, before considering the complimentary breakfast…"

"I was pleased with the welcoming feel, as well as the cleanliness as I walked into the lobby The staff was pleasant.and very helpful as well. The room had been renovated and had several amenities . Free breakfast also. Felt like i was staying in an overpriced hotel. OH.... and the view took my breath away!! "
