Liked: Staff & service
The owner and staff were lovely and friendly. I was disappointed in our room. The photos if the room seemed much larger than the actual room. I always make sure when I book a room that it has a private bathroom. The room had a room with a toilet and sink. The bathtub was in the actual room. About 3 feet from the bed. It had a wooden accordion door for privacy. Not very private. When we took a shower apparently you needed to sit in the bathtub. I am disabled and cannot sit like that. It had a hose spray and the water would go all over the floor. I had to wipe it up each time. I also found the Inn to be very dark with lighting. I am visually handicapped and struggled a bit. The Inn had a quaint quality. I am sure it fits the Chautauqua feel. I should have checked into the details for myself a bit better. I probably would not stay again. I also felt what we ended up with did not match the cost of the weekend. The owner and the woman at the desk were wonderful.

A wonderful place!

It’s a treat to be able to stay anywhere here on the institute. I am grateful for the love that goes into this place and would stay here again. I can only imagine coming back in the summer and to sit on the balcony listening to the music drift through the air. Thank you for the hospitality!
