We highly recommend the Covered Bridge Inn! Our room was clean and comfortable. One of the staff, Sue, went out of her way to help us with anything we needed. She was friendly, engaging, and just simply delightful. Sue obviously loves being in the hospitality business and it shows in her smile and actions! Great place at a reasonable price.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean and comfortable and climate control worked well. The pet fee was reasonable, BUT there needs to be more parking lot lighting to make it safe to walk dogs, and there needs to be a trash container for bagged pet waste. The lack of lighting was a BIG problem. Only one working outdoor light on the far end of the building.
