The Cheshire

8/10 Good
"Charming and quaint alternative to a Holiday Inn. It was renovated 10-15 years ago but not much care since then. The pool was allegedly open still (mid September) but when we looked out to go use it, there was debris in it and it wasn’t very inviting. The price was affordable and it was pet friendly, I only wish we could have experienced it during its heyday years ago when it was properly maintained and cleaned."
