We really enjoyed the Dinsmore Inn after touring Monticello. Our room was very nice and the manager Jake was extremely helpful with arrival information, checking in, and helpful tidbits on the hotel and town. The breakfast at Farm Bell Kitchen was also really good and a great way to start the day. We just wish we had more time to stay longer. Would definitely stay here again
