Sunday June 30th I learned an important life lesson. Never get breakfast at the hotel if you aren’t staying there; it’s outrageously overpriced. Aside from that, even if the food here had been free and I had other choices, I would go pay to have a better meal somewhere else. I’ve never seen red lighting over the buffet trays and I feel this is done to obscure people from seeing what the food looks like. The eggs were greenish gray (which to me usually means overcooked). Everything else was some combination of stale, rubbery, and/or microwaved. I’ve had plenty of continental breakfasts at other hotels and inns, the majority of these places being nowhere near this fancy. This food was by far the worst. If the food alone didn’t make me and my three kids queasy when we ate what we could, the $70 bill definitely did me in. The experience was so bad it’s turned into a family joke where my kids tell people about it and refer to this place as “the nom-nom *barf* restaurant” The hotel by all accounts seems like a beautiful place to stay, and the staff was very kind and professional. We came here to eat after finding our first choice in town was closed for the holiday weekend and we were al really hungry. As nice as the staff and decor are we can’t eat them, hence the two star review. I hate leaving bad reviews but it would be such an easy thing for this place to make breakfast that can compete with the budget inn, I feel they should be aware so they can give it a solid effort.

I ordered a ribeye steak, a side salad, and French fries. It took almost an hour to bring us our food. At the time there were three other tables in the entire restaurant that had customers. Our waitress rarely made eye contact and never gave any updates on the food. When we finally did receive our meals, the quality of the cuts of steak was very below par, the french fries tasted like they were sitting under a heat lamp for quite some time before being brought out, and the salads were pretty much just lettuce. In summary, the food sucked the service sucked but the ambience was nice.

Breakfast bar was closed so I ordered the pancakes on the menu. Not sure what kind of secret batter they use but these were the best pancakes I have ever had. Better than Cracker barrels pancakes that were my favorite. They were crispy and almost seemed like they were deep fried. Service was great too.

Breakfast, just don't. $16 plus $3 for juice when they were out of milk. Their buffet consisted of scrambled eggs, not sure if they were powdered or not, bacon, sausage, potatoes, something that I could never identify that looked like mush, biscuits and gravy, toast, looked like vanilla yogurt in a bowl but nothing to keep it cold, a whole apple and orange. That is it. No pancakes, waffles or English muffins. I think they had mini muffins but the tray was empty the entire time we were here. They were out of all milk, they were out of lemon for my tea. I recommend finding somewhere else. All three of us agreed this was the absolute worst and most expensive breakfast we have had on our three week trip. I understand supply and demand but seriously drive 10 mins to get something better. My kids elementary school turned out better food. I refuse to go to the golden arches but I would beg them to take my money before I eat here again.

Went to the red fox tavern. We relaxed in the lobby by the fire beforehand. They have an impressive set of beers on tap and a fully stocked bar. They gave us a sample of the beers and we just relaxed and enjoyed. All of the staff was very friendly and attentive.

Back in October I made reservations for my works Christmas party and when we showed up in December they didn’t know we were coming. I even did a confirmation the night before. The dining room was closed. They still sat us. They were out of a lot of food and we didn’t know until about 15/20 mins after people ordered. They were out of ice too. They did give us free breadstick but we were sat at 5:30 and didn’t get our food until 7:30. There was 15 of us BUT there was not a crowd. The waitress was friendly and it wasn’t her fault they were not prepared for us. But there was a lady who I assumed was management who was not friendly. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone in town. But my chicken tenders were good. I had to take it home because it took so long for the food to come.

Thanksgiving 2023 buffet was very disappointing. Not much to pick from. Nothing was fresh. Out of a can! $40 plus $15 service fee! Will not return. Giving poor review to friends.

Take your sticker off the food exit sign on 81 if you don't even open till 5:30...

Staff is extremely rude, very slow service, food is overpriced for quality. Poor service all around and saw bugs on the floor.

Our servers were kind, attentive and Very friendly. Food was excellent, reasonably priced and delicious. The Hotel is a great stop over if you are looking for a classic stay from an era less hurried. Do yourself a favor, stay and eat here.
