On our first night we had a room on the highway side. Lots of noise! The hotel moved us directly across the hall without question. Convenient to Old Town where we were visiting family.

The rooms are a good size. They have a woodsy, cabin-like theme. We also enjoy the make your own Belgium waffles for breakfast when we stay at the Black Bear Inn.

Not what we paid for
Room we reserved wasn’t available for us on check in, the charged us pet fees when we didn’t have any animals with us, when they tried to give a discount they charged an additional cha he instead… breakfast was not good and the breakfast area was extremely small. Maid service left dirty washcloth in the tub..
