Was traveling with a 4 year old and a 7 month old, and we arrived late, and the front desk lady helped unload our van. The place is very clean and there are lots of options for breakfast. Had so much fun in the pool with all my grandkids and the hot tub hit the spot for a fun-filled night.
Ashley was fantastic - warm and welcoming as we got checked in. This is a very simple hotel clearly renovated inexpensively. Some charm to it but not a place you come if you are looking for modern interior. The highlight is the pool and jacuzzi with lots of room and nicer furniture for people to relax. Side note- if you are someone who needs additional accessibility needs make sure to request a first level room. There is not elevator only stairs to walk between floors.
Our first trip to Hastings and we really enjoyed our stay! Fantastic pool and quiet rooms. Good breakfast spread and very affordable. Location to everything else is convenient. Thank you!
We loved it. We will definitely go back. Clean, awesome room. Pool and hot tub was awesome. Very nice ma/pa hotel close to scenic areas. Breakfast was great. Great price!
The inn is kept very clean and the staff is very welcoming. The 24hr self serve tea and coffee bar was probably my favorite thing. The hot tub was nice and clean my only complaint there is that only side jet that works is the one on the on the steps. The pool is great, and both the pool and hot tub are handicap accessible. I stayed in a single king room (111), and to use the remote from the recliner I had to hold it well over my head (to change the channel). The The desk chair was very uncomfortable and with my back problems I couldn't sit in it for more than about 15 minutes. The complimentary breakfast was good they have a omelette and waffle stations with decent fixings. My largest frustration is that the self service laundry cost $2.50 each for the washer and dryer, $1.50 for detergent all in quarters only. The front desk did not have enough quarters to make me change. It would be nice if the kept more quarters on hand, or got a change machine. The hotel is pet friendly. Over all it was a nice stay and I would consider staying here again.
We stayed here while in town for a wedding. The staff were all so very nice and accommodating. Traveling with a small child can be difficult, but this was a great respite after a long day of traveling. Not fancy, but very clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again!
Stayed for 5 nights for a ski vacay. Perfect location. 20 minutes to Afton Alps or Welch Village ski resorts. Well rounded breakfasts, waffle and omelette machines. Very friendly and competent staff. Fantastic pool area with large hot tub. More reasonably priced than surrounding chain hotels. BONUS daily room refresh from cleaning staff.
Jerri, Bobbie and Linda are all so welcoming and awesome people. I wish every hotel was like this place. Everything was nice and clean. The breakfast was better than the norm. Thanks again girls for a great stay!
