Charming, Affordable Historic Inn
Traveling solo, and this historic inn was a perfect stop along my journey. Charming, great location in Berea, very clean and well-maintained, and most importantly for me, affordable. Wish I could've stayed another day or two.

Return to Grandmother’s house
It’s a historical room but good value. The restaurant is always good. Had eaten in the restaurant numerous times but never stayed at the hotel. Clean and convenient but old.

The common and gathering rooms are lovely and comfortable and the staff is welcoming. The area has lots of little eateries and great craft shops. The room itself was a bit dingy with a very very strong mold/mildew smell, signs of water damage, cracked outer window, stained commode seat, extremely creaky beds. I could not stay additional nights because it triggered my asthma but the hotel was gracious about working with Hotels.com.
