We enjoyed our stay and can't wait to come back. We hope that the more worn areas are spruced up.
Pros:

Our room in the O'Brien house was very cozy and welcoming after our long journey. The shower was fabulous. The closet was amply spacious for both of us.
My filet mignon and our breakfasts were excellent.
The pool area, and hot tub were great.

Cons:

The room lamps were a little wiggly, too bright, and should have been adjustable.
My wife's Caesar salad was bland. The dressing was very watered down. There were no croutons, or lemon, and the parmesan cheese was sparse.
The entryway up the front steps and the door into the lobby are surprisingly run down. The lobby carpeting is frayed and duct-taped down.

Not an ADA hotel, very disappointed
Pros:

The old style was very cool. Unique for sure. Cute town and shops are close. The restaurant and bar inside looked very nice. Didn’t get to go to either tho.

Cons:

The buildings, all of them, are NOT ADA compliant. Parking for handicapped is awful. There’s only 1 handicapped parking in front of hotel. There’s 1 in the back of the building, but unless you can walk, it’s not easy to maneuver around. It’s a rocky gravel. To go into the offsite buildings you have to go up steps. Both me and my partner are disabled. We were put in a building abt 2 blocks away from Main hotel. I’m not supposed to go up stairs, but that was the only way in. They did not have an ada room as I requested 5 months before my trip. No Ada bathroom. We had to leave because they can’t accommodate ADA guests. They only refunded one night out of our two. Not fair when they couldn’t accommodate any ada needs. If you are handicapped you will need to climb into bed. It’s very high. They are old fashioned beds. We couldn’t even get into the beds because they’re too high. The hotel itself is very unique and interesting. If you’re healthy, you’ll be fine, but if you have any issues or you’re elderly, this is not the right place for you. The staff was friendly and did send a young man to help us unload our car and after having to checkout he came back to help us again. He told us he was off the clock though. He shouldn’t have done that off the clock.

While short, we enjoyed a drink on the front porch, the gift shops, the back porch area
Pros:

The staff including the supervisor on duty and desk person were both very friendly and helpful.
Had breakfast in the main dining room and it was great tasting.

Would have preferred staying in the Inn proper instead of one of the out buildings.
Pros:

The staff and the dining options, as well as the overall ambiance.

Cons:

The room had some drawbacks for us older folk. The bed was very high. The toilet was very low. The tub and shower were hard to get in and out of and the shower curtain did not reach all the way around the tub so the floor ended up getting pretty wet.

Beautiful historic hotel. Looking forward to staying there again.
Pros:

The room was huge. The beds were comfortable and the AC worked great. The bathroom was gorgeous, fully remodeled with top notch finishings. We had dinner and breakfast there and both meals were great.

Cons:

The chairs in our room were kind of shabby as was the carpeting in the hallways in our building. I think layout of the buildings is a bit confusing and a porter might be a good idea for older people as our building had no elevator.

Lovely, vintage Inn with accommodating staff and excellent location.
Pros:

The staff were superb. I can wholly appreciate the history of the building and all the historical information provided throughout the in. The location and porch were ideal for our morning coffee. Gift shops were exquisite.

Cons:

Again, I wholly appreciate the beautiful building, antiques and history the Inn provides. However, the fabric on the two chaise lounges in our room was WELL beyond its years and was the first thing we noticed upon entering. Also, staircases and carpets looked in need of a good vacuum and mop.

Will definitely choose the Red Lion again if we're in the area, far more charming and classy.
Pros:

Enjoyed my omelet and English muffin breakfast.

Cons:

There was nothing I didn't like. I liked the historic feel of the Inn, its character and appreciate its centuries of history and illustrious guests..

Convenient geographical location for our road trip but overall disappointing
Pros:

Expensive but a bit tired. Carpet in the Glen building was filthy (looking). If I’m paying $450 for one night I expect better

Cons:

Needs investment

A nice stay in a quirky old inn with a super staff.
Pros:

The staff members made us feel very welcome. They went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Our room was nice and mostly comfortable. The inn was a great place for a bunch of friends to hang out on a rainy day.

Cons:

There was a strong smokey smell in some parts of the inn. The room at the front corner was very noisy from the traffic outside.
