My second time staying at The Inn and once again a warm, inviting and comfortable stay. The on-site restaurant/bar menu not only has a nice selection to choose from, but also has very friendly and accommodating staff.

Overall the Inn is very nice. Only additional comment of note is that the bath and sleeping space were nice; but the sleeping space was small, perhaps because it was in the 1st floor location.
Staff was amazing. Room was clean and super easy to park. We were immediately provided a free upgrade to a room with an access code when we realized we would be a late check in.
We loved this place! Felicia was incredibly helpful from start to finish. We felt very welcome when we walked in. The history of the inn was so incredible. The bar area was wonderful and so was the bartender. We stayed in one of the King suites. It was so clean and peaceful. We will definitely be back.
I only stayed one night, but it was impressive! The staff was so welcoming..even gave me a tour of the Inn, as it is steeped in history. Dinner was great, I ordered the salmon and it was delicious. I sat at the bar as I was a solo traveler. The barmaid was very welcoming, as were all the "regulars" who showed up to eat and drink. My room was clean and comfortable. Be aware...there are no tv's in the rooms (I did not mind).
There is plenty of easy parking in the lot.
It was amazing- very personal, great service, great food, beautiful place!

The Inn was lovely. The room was small, but authentic and fine. The problem is the food service is very spotty. The restaurant has limited hours and days- no breakfast except on weekends. Also if you have a room on a Monday, most of the day and all night there is no one working at all- you are alone! And on Tuesday when we needed to check out, there was no one working. We had to leave the keys in an unlocked room.
We enjoyed our stay in the Stanton….lots of character in this 1740’s inn…great bar and areas to relax with a drink or snack. Definitely plan to stay again
