The Fireside Inn is a charming and friendly place to stay. It was the first time I’ve been given an actual key to my hotel room in a long time! The staff are kind and helpful. The breakfast spread is impressively varied and well-stocked. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The only reason I gave four stars instead of five was the minimal access to outlets/USB ports in the room.

This was a cute little inn with welcoming staff and comfy rooms. May not be super updated but part of the charm. Only con is the walls are incredibly thin which can be hard if you have loud neighbors. Would stay here again!
