Ashland Springs Hotel
Loved everything however we are allergic to cats and our room on the 5th floor had some pet allergies that set off an allergic reaction we didn't expect. We had understood pets were only allowed on the 3rd floor. Additionally the room across the hall had several dogs that barked...not a huge issue ...

Winchester Inn
Property was beautiful. Room was large, clean and nicely appointed. The only disappointment was not getting to sample the highly rated breakfast as we learned after we made our booking that the kitchen and restaurant were shut down for a yearly deep clean.

Rogue Regency Inn and Suites
The room was clean, had plenty of towels. The restaurant onsite had very good food for dinner. I wasn't too impressed with the free breakfast. The liquid eggs and processed sausage wasn't my favorite. The front desk staff was very pleasant and friendly.
