Very clean, we needed a handicap accessable room and they had great accomidations for us our room was close to the elevator and our door had a magnet to stay open while we entered and exited which made it so much eaiser. They had a craft fair while we where there and that was so nice to see some locals selling the crafts and things. Great breakfast a good varity to choose from and they even offer gluten free options. The staff are so friendly and welcoming.

Our room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, with a charming rustic feel. The entire hotel was well maintained, and the staff were warm and welcoming. Breakfast offered plenty of options, and the added touch of a hot beef stew in the lobby on a cold day was such a thoughtful surprise. Highly recommend the Black Bear Inn!
