The old gal’s got life in her yet!
This hotel shows its age with worn furnishings and grungy bathroom grout, but the bed was very comfortable and the room very quiet midweek. We walked the block + to the sister hotel, the Penn Wells Lodge, for the complimentary hot breakfast, which was tasty.

Beautiful old historic inn. The lobby area was lovely. Breakfast was included which was a nice extra. There’s a spacious outdoor courtyard where we could enjoy happy hour. The downtown is cute and walkable with some nice shops and restaurants. Less than a half hour drive to the Grand Canyon of PA.
