The staff at this hotel is amazing....most accomodating - all you had to do was ask. We had a large room with plenty of space for all our belongings and we were two women with lots of stuff. We were in the annex across the street from check in so don't know if that is the old part or not but we were most comfortable. Access to town is great as you can walk everywhere; restaurants, the various theatres, their amazing park, etc. I know the inn is doing some remodeling so it should even be better when done. We had absolutely no problems with breakfast. A pretty darn good variety for a BW; actually one of the best we have ever experienced at a BW. Normally you only get rolls, coffee and maybe cereal. They not only had those items but offered quiche, burritos, casadeas, bagels, etc. I would definitely stay there again on my next visit.

Stayed here the night of Nov. 23. My comments apply to the older section of the hotel near the lobby. The location of Bard's Inn is excellent, very convenient to downtown. The room was clean. Beyond that, our room on the 2nd floor did not have much to recommend it. It was small and cramped, with an armoire jutting out into the walking area. One suitcase rack was provided, but no accommodation was made for a second suitcase; I ended up having to put mine on the floor. I can usually find a surface--a dresser for example--but there were no "surfaces" here large enough for a second suitcase.

I believe that Bard's Inn is making an effort to have variety with the breakfast. Be aware that the quiche has a thick, soggy crust and no taste.

The front desk clerk who checked us in did not have a warm greeting for us; in fact, she gave no greeting at all. On the other hand, when we were having problems regulating the heater, a man came up right away and was very pleasant.

So... a mixed experience. My feeling is that this room was overpriced for what it offered. I would stay at Bard's Inn again, but not in the "older" section; and I would possibly eat breakfast elsewhere.

Wonderful hotel. Very nice people. Go out for breakfast instead of the free one. It was cold and old.
Hotel is wonderfully located. With in walking distance to everything.
