EverSpring Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great overnight stay. Fairly basic hotel, but the rooms were roomy with comfortable beds and bathroom that had sink and mirror separate from toilet and shower, which I find convenient for a couple. Very hospitable and helpful staff, including a warm cookie upon arrival. Also had one of the better informal breakfasts I’ve had, with cheese omelet and wheat waffles. Very walkable to Main Street restaurants and brewery, along with convenience store next door. Deck and fire pit overlooked the countryside. The maintenance issues were an empty hand soap container in our room and broken ice machine. The night attendant quickly resolved both. Our floors were also squeaky and you could hear hallway noise a bit but no issue overnight."
