Pros:

How cute the room was and the bed was comfy

Cons:

The hight of the showers are small, there are no mini fridges in the rooms, the ice machine was down and there was no pool which I thought there was one the last time I was there. 5 years ago.

Decent Fun Place to Stay, A little run down.
Pros:

Jeremy at the front desk was Excellent, super friendly and accommodating. There were cool gifts to buy in the lobby. The bed was very comfortable. You can open the window to get outside air and the air conditioning unit was one of those new wall types. It was quiet at night after 11pm. There was a nice restaurant on the premise for dinner.

Cons:

The rooms were a little run down. The first room had screws missing from the door lock and my boyfriend noticed termite damage on the window frame. We were moved to a bigger room but the tub had no protection to stand and take a shower inside so it was a little slippery.

My room was extremely disappointing so I'm afraid this has colored my stay here.
Pros:

I like the lobby ambiance and comfortable sofas. Our dinner in the restaurant was excellent. The Chicken Alfredo Fettuccine was the best I've ever had!

Cons:

My room: Room 221. It has such a tiny bathroom that if I was overweight, I wouldn't have been able to use the toilet since it jutted into the bathroom sink. Also, the pipes need cleaning along with the shower head. I can smell the water coming out of the pipe. Smells mettallic and using it to brush my teeth was unpleasant as it tastes mettalic (didn't swallow it, thank goodness). This room should not be used as a guest room.
The other rooms my friends stayed in were renovated so I'm sure not all rooms are like this. This room isn't spacious enough to classify it as a guest room. I would have complained but I understood the Inn was full.

Pros:

Very cute and the ambiance was nice.

Cons:

The plumbing smelled really bad. It also smelled like someone had recently used our bathroom to poop and so the whole room smelled like it.

Great Staff, Pleasant yet Interesting Experience
Pros:

The staff especially the receptionists were very knowledgeable about the history of the Glen Tavern Inn. Enzos Italian restaurant inside of the Tavern served some great Italian dishes for dinner. It was a very different experience for me staying at a 100 plus year-old hotel that has a haunting history with regards to ghost and paranormal activities. The room I stayed in was very interesting and Victorian. The first night of being there, I noticed an almost shadowy smoke passing through on the upper wallpaper of the bed as I sat on the table doing work that evening. I can barely move or stand up but I simply ignored it. The third floor of the building was also interesting since the entire third floor has so much energy behind it. I managed to walk up there with a co-worker and we both had a feeling of heaviness and being light headed. We read the history of each room on the third floors framed board attached to the wall. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay, and I highly recommend this place for those seeking a different experience while travelling. Great staff and good owners!

Cons:

Things went well .. no negative experience.
