8/10 Good
"Many wonderful memories have been spent at the Farmstead Inn over the years in our family! It has been our go to. Always safe, inviting, very clean room, and wonderful staff. Even handwritten notes from housekeeping is always a sweet touch. The breakfast was warm and one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve had in a while. It looked as though they had gotten a new floor for the basketball court too. The only negatives I would have is this has been our first stay in a few years and you can tell things are starting to have some age. They are currently building a new pool area outside, but in the meantime, the indoor hot tub was out of order, the pool area was dimly lit and lights were flickering, and the kiddie pool area was cold and the heated jets were off. The playground is cut in half while the construction goes on. The fitness center has a wonderful Sole treadmill, but both of the elliptical’s were so rusted they were hard to turn. It just feels like they are in an odd season right now between projects. It made me a little sad to see it aging like that, but it does look like they are making an effort to fix things up. If you are only staying for the accommodation of the room and wonderful breakfast than you are in luck because the rooms are spotless and beautiful and the service amazing. Just keep in mind the extra’s may not be quite up to par just yet."
