We enjoyed the setting of the property and the historic feel and decor of the motor lodge. The grounds were beautiful and the location was convenient to family we were visiting in the area. However, the room had a musty smell as if it had not been used in some time, and I think there were issues with the humidity in the room. We took our bathroom towels into the main room and spread them on chairs to dry, but they never got fully dry. Humidity may have been the reason for the odor as well.
Additionally, while the free coffee and bakery items were appreciated, the long lines at the counter, which included guests as well as members of the public purchasing items, made the bakery staff seem very stressed. It would be nice if the complimentary items for guests could be set out in a different area of the inn, not requiring a line, or just moving to an in-room coffee option. I would not expect an included breakfast at a historic inn and would have been satisfied with just in-room coffee if that had been available.
