We stayed for 3 nights, would have given 5 stars but the restaurant and bar were closed for our entire stay, “staffing issues”. Kind of inconvenient, but there are options within walking distance.

The bunkhouse was rustic but comfy. Perfect place for our puppy’s first hotel stay. Very quiet. Walked to all the restaurants and shops.

A wonderful stay. Loved the cozy, rustic charm, though it was a little too luxurious to really be called rustic. Also had a delicious dinner at the Ruffed Grouse, part of the hotel.

Location of the hotel was excellent and convenient. It was the tiniest hotel room I’ve been in since the UK. Bed was okay. AC was awful, loud, and constantly recycling until I set it to 62. One of the worst rooms ever. It should have been a $50 room except for its location.

We would of appreciated a warm welcome from the smile-less front desk attendant. Our small room had a loud window air conditioner that kept coming on and turning off. It kept my wife from sleeping most of the night. Had trouble parking in the skimpy parking lot. We will not return.

This is a tired old boutique hotel, jammed full of stuff, in a great location. Our room was very small and cramped. And the property needs a deep cleaning. The staff was very friendly. We would spend the extra money stay somewhere else.

Many aspects of the Inn were very quaint. However, in our room 2 on the first floor had several issues. Light bulbs were burned out and not replaced before our arrival. The blind on the door to the balcony was crooked and we were told by the receptionist she wasn't sure how to close the blind (pull it down). I was able to get it down then noticed the next morning it was off the hook. The balcony was so small that when you opened the door it hit the small bistro table and you had to turn sideways to get out. additionally, in the bathroom the hot water in the sink ran very slowly and never got beyond warm. The Inn advertised on Hotels.com that it had a restaurant and bar available. It did, but the restaurant closed after brunch on Sunday, which was our arrival day, but the bar was open until 6:30 that evening. Neither was reopened until Wednesday. Our departure was Tuesday, so we never were able to use either amenity. After our arrival we walked through the stores on Main Street ate dinner then walked more. All hotels had their outdoor lights and firepits lit. When we came back to HMH the receptionist didn't know why the outdoor lights weren't on, so we asked her to light the firepit. She attempted but couldn't turn on the propane tank, so my husband tried, and he was unable to turn the valve either as it had been over tightened. Most of the issues were corrected the next day, but that night the firepit was still not working and he found the lights just weren't plugged in.

For the price, it was Average. Came down for coffee & muffin at 9:00 am. Coffee was empty, no muffins as the invite. After lady finished her phone reservations, she got up & made more coffee. Would have paid for coffee, restaurant closed. Thought it took advantage of us for over $400 a night.

I like the vibe and the people are very nice. My room was super clean. I liked being in the bunk house bc it’s easy to move luggage with not many steps. I enjoyed my stay .
