This is the second time my husband and I have stayed at this wonderful little Inn in the centre of downtown Marshall. Barbara, the effusive hostess, welcomes you as if you are her personal houseguests. And it really feels like you are at home.
The rooms are all individually furnished in a traditional style, which may not suit the corporate hotel guest. We stayed in a suite the first time, with one double room, a sitting room (with sofa bed) two toilets and basins, and a separate shower. We would have liked a proper bath, but we were only there for two nights. When we were leaving, Barbara invited us to look in the other rooms (if the door is open, no guests are staying!) so we could choose something different next time! We had a wonderful time inspecting all the rooms on the 1st floor which were each unique. For our second stay (the one which is the subject of this review) we chose a double room on the 1st floor, on the corner with a claw foot tub - with views of the fountain. It was gorgeous!
Your room rate includes breakfasts, which Barbara personally supervises. Nothing is too much trouble for her. You can make your own waffles, and there are cereals, fruit and all sorts of goodies. If you come back to the Inn after a long day out, Barbara will make you a refreshing and reviving cup of tea. And in the evening, there is a bowl of freshly popped corn in the entrance hall - just waiting for you to dig in!!
If you want something different to the Holiday Inns of this world, stay at the National House Inn. Tell Barbara that the English couple (whose daughter lives in Marshall) sent you! You will be sure of a great welcome and a really wonderful stay.
