Overall, it felt like a private AirBnB; however, it was a nice place.
Pros:

The problems we had were: 1 - Could never log onto WiFi, 2 - The restaurant was closed from Sat til Tues. Breakfast was never included, as stayed at time if reservations, 3 - We saw staff at time of check in and when I had to return after checkout to retrieve my wallet.

Cons:

We just felt alone because there were no staff members present.

Pros:

Nettes atmosphärisches Hotel in der Innenstadt von Mercersburg. Mit kostenlosen Parkplatz und kaffeebar..und gutem Restaurant.
Würde dort wieder übernachten wenn ich in mercersburg bin, fußläufig zur mercersburg academy oder weniger.minuten per Auto. . Perfect

Cons:

kein Frühstück. Nur Kaffee bar. Auch wenn es in der Bestätigung als MIT Frühstück verkauft wird. Eigentlich ist es egal dass kein Frühstück gibt.Da neben an gibt es ein nettes cafe.one north mit tollem bagel etc. Nur sollte man auch da sbekommen, was man gebucht hat..passt es in dem Angebot doch einfach an.

It was not a happy or enjoying experience, sad!
Pros:

Close to Whitetail

Cons:

The TV setup and my room heating both ran by remotes and NOTHING WORKED!!!! the Inn manager could not help because he could not understand my questions nor was he able to fix the problems, at 11 o’clock at night after a shower I realized that my room was not getting warm he wanted to switch my rooms but I was unpacked and showered, I should have asked him for a blanket but in my anger and his lack of underwing my English and the issues of not having a television to watch because I had no idea how to use the damn set up of the remote controls and the remote was not working for heat, he ran into a room grabbing another remote and in handing it to me it looked like it had a big bugger smashed on the top of remote, how gross he just looked at me smiling and shaking his head not knowing what to do with me!
Then in morning came down for coffee and breakfast no coffee only Decaff😕and the breakfast layout was sad and in the dark no English muffins bread or a bagel to be seen
2 big bottles of water but with caps that needed a bottle opener no cream pathetic just pathetic setup I’m not sure what I paid for it. I guess a cold bed and a hot shower. I guess that was the best part.

I would stay there again.
Pros:

The hotel was very quaint. There was nothing around but it really didn't matter because we were visting family the two days we were there. I wish that they had some kind of cable for the TV instead of a fire stick. We had a hard time trying to found regular TV stations. The resturant that is connected to the hotel was nice the food was fabulous.

Cons:

Didn't care for the bed. My husband and I have a king size bed and the queen was hard to get used to.
