The hotel welcomed me into a cozy and clean room with a spacious layout, a small kitchen, and a private entrance. However, one of the rooms had a shared bath, and the check-in time was a bit late at 7 pm.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room started cool but gradually became too warm during the night, even with the Arctic level of air conditioning. The size of the room was small, but the bed was large and very comfortable. The service was friendly, although there was an issue with late check-in. The location was fantastic, close to many city attractions. The dining experience was average with limited breakfast options. Overall, a decent stay with some drawbacks.

The Stone Soup Inn is a charming place with quirky loft-style rooms and a lovely historic location near downtown. The service, though a bit rigid at times, can be exceptional, especially if you happen to meet D. Perkins. The breakfast offerings may not always hit the mark, but the character of the century-old house and the lush surroundings make up for it.

Staying at this inn was a peaceful experience with nice views, although the shared bathroom arrangement was unexpected. The small connecting hall between rooms added a cozy touch to the space.

The rooms before the Superbowl were peaceful and had nice views. Sharing a bathroom with another room was surprising at first, as I assumed the bathroom would be between the two rooms. The connection through a tiny hall made the setup feel unique and cozy.

The dining experience felt like a family setting, with a well-rounded breakfast selection that included cereal, fruit, muffins, toast or bagel with cream cheese, butter or jelly, sliced cheese and cold cuts, hard-boiled eggs, milk, juice, and coffee. Even though it might not suit everyone's taste, it was delicious and satisfying.
