Restorative.
Pros:

We had the presidential suite and the space was impressive. The bed was restorative. we were moving kids into college both days - longed to get in that beautiful pool but there was too much work to do!

Cons:

I miss the cookies and warm towels... and that the wonderful century house restaurant is no longer....

I was misled by reviews - this is a 2* hotel with a few bonuses. My wife summed it up: "Strange"
Pros:

Linda at breakfast was great, some fruit in addition to the typical hotel fare. Cute little decorative touches here and there, like the foam faux-wood beams on the ceiling. Plenty of parking. Fun little nature trail in the marsh out back.

Cons:

Ancient exterior wall A/C with no temperature setting, just a dial. Extremely humid in the room despite it being fine outside; everything felt wet. Worst night of sleep I've ever gotten in a hotel when I didn't have jet lag. Toilet seat was old and highly worn, which disgusted my wife.

Could be a 9 or 10 with a little tlc.
Pros:

The rooms are fine . Updating should be in the plans. The staff is wonderful.

Cons:

The outside lighting and the entrance lighting is abysmal. It gets really dark in the Adirondack mountains
It’s a crapshoot trying to see at this property. The parking lot and driveway to the hotel are like a bomb practice range. The pavement is awful

A wonderful and quaint hotel!
Pros:

This hotel was a pleasant surprise! Came to it with no expectations and it was wonderful! So much charm! The staff was kind and professional, the room was quite large, and the morning breakfast was delicious! The gym was an added bonus.

Cons:

Due to it being an older facility, there were some areas that had an odor, such as the entry. However, this would not keep me from staying here again.

Cute New England Hotel
Pros:

This hotel has a great new England charm. The rooms are very comfortable and more modern than we expected from the lobby. It was a very happy surprise.

Cons:

Breakfast was a little hectic in the morning, but not for lack of the staff trying. There was a baseball team that was there right before I got there.
