Lots of pros and cons during our stay at the Cobblestone Inn. You can decide which are important to you.
Pro's:
1. The location is close to downtown so everything is within walking distance.
2. The price per night is lower than most Four Sister's Inns.
3. I was charged more for having a whirlpool in my room only to find out a storm blew out all othe whirlpool motors. There was no effort to adjust my bill, however after finding the maintenance guy he was able to put a new motor in my tub that same day!
4. The Four Sisters touches are here, Teddy bears, evening turn down, Celebration Packages, robes, breakfast and evening happy hours.
5. Nice romantic fireplace.
Con's
1. It's almost impossible to find a place to park. There are only 4 spots on their property and two of them are very difficult to park in. Be prepared to walk a few blocks and leave your car abandoned blocks away from the Inn.
2. The free wine is boxed wine and the dolma they serve during happy hour is disgusting. The clam chowder was terrible. You can't go wrong with cheese and crackers, they need to stick with that.
3. The biggest problem was the thin walls! When in hotels I usually run the A/C to block out the noise but they don't have one. I heard everything from upstairs and next door. The noise didn't stop until after 1 AM.
4. No A/C or working heater. The windows are singled pane and the old style you have to lift, some are broken and don't open correctly. None have screens so anything can get in.
5. The Flat screen TV's are up high and they are the type you have to look at straight on to see the picture, however you can't see them straight on since they are placed high on the top shelf.
6. Don't waste the money on a whirlpool tub, these are small tubs and barely fits one person let alone two.
7. The Four Sisters Inn's we have visited always have games in the lobby to play, such as checkers, chess or even a deck of cards. Nothing like this is available at this Inn, so bring your own.
8. The evening happy hour was always late getting started.
You can decide for yourself if the pros out weigh the cons. For me I won't return and I will now look more carefully when looking for a place to stay, even if it is a Four Sisters Inn.
