Clean and affordable

It was clean and affordable. Staff was nice. The only issue we had was someone had a dog that kept constantly barking for hours. We knew the hotel accepted pets so it’s not their fault. Just an FYI for anyone booking. It’s an older hotel as well, which is fine with us. We had a nice stay and would recommend this hotel.

Friendly, Convenient and Priced Right

I was in town for the week and chose to stay at the Covered Bridge Inn. The location was convenient since I would also be traveling east a few times throughout the week. The staff were friendly and caring, and the room was terrific. Other options in town just didn't compare.

I'll Be Back

I've stayed here before and really appreciated the friendliness. That was true again this time. Affordable rates, nice rooms, well maintained, easy check in, good coffee. I don't mind paying a pet fee for a welcoming place to stay,

Tried keeping deposit for using the towels

Was yelled at for using towels in front of a lobby full of people. Was cursing at my boyfriend and trying to fight him. The craziest thing I have ever seen. Was put in a room next to the owners apartment. They were yelling and fighting so much we checked out at 6am. The man then turned his anger on us. Still in shock over the whole situation

Stay was good except for children still yelling and running at 11:00 pm. I believe the noise came from the office area.
