A smaller privately owned establishment located right on curve of intersection so don't miss the entrance. Friendly staff through out. Rooms were spacious with comfy beds and fresh towels. Eating choices are within walking distance

I booked the Belvedere Inn because online it looked like it had a niche antique hotel vibe to it and I thought it would be a fun change from the sterile, modern hotels I usually stay in, but ultimately it’s just old and run down. Our room reeked of pot and the beds are ancient and uncomfortable. But it was quiet and safe and the free breakfast was good! So there’s that!

Asked for early checkin, but due to staffing shortages, they were not able to get us in early without an extra charge. This was not really a problem, but would have been nice. The room was unusually large compared to what we expected and was very clean and neat. Would have been nice if there were more electric outlets spaced throughout the room, but not a problem really. Bathroom was very clean and maintained. The toilet paper holder was broken, but this was just a maintenance issue. The water was hot and plentiful with a good shower. Not a lot of bathroom amenities, but we bring our own anyway and could probably have asked at the desk. The bed, advertised as a queen, seemed more like a full size. It was an OK mattress; not terrific, but a lot better than beds at much more expensive hotels we've stayed at. The blanket, for us, was far too heavy as the room was too warm for us; we ended up sleeping just under the sheet. Probably not a major complaint from many, but was warm for us, even with the room heating system set to "fan only". For us, it would have been nice if they'd had a lighter blanket tucked in the drawer or in the closet, such as we've seen at other properties. The breakfast is nothing special, although it IS advertised as "continental" so it is pretty much what we expected. Pastry, cold cereal, yogurt, coffee, juice. That said, they do have a nice selection of good pastries to choose from. Also, if you like bagels, there is a good shop, Bagels and Bakes, almost right across the street. They make nice bagel sandwiches and have good coffee. Parking is good and plentiful. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Some minor maintenance issues around the facility, like dingy lighting in the stair tower, but overall, a nice place to stay. This is our 3rd hotel experience in this area in 2 years, and based on this trip and the pricing, we will definitely be back to stay here. It's not a 5-star hotel, but it's not advertised as such. It IS clean, neat, and appropriately priced, and the guest ratings, overall, match what we found when we got here. It's especially nice that this is a locally owned independent facility.

We stayed here for two nights while attending a wedding. Most of the wedding party stayed at another venue but the price for two nights was almost $200 more than here. And it didn’t include a breakfast. The room we stayed in was very comfortable and clean. And it was quiet. The breakfast was adequate and enough for us. With today’s hotel prices going through the roof, we were very happy we found this hidden gem.

Booked this hotel as a stop on a road trip home from Maine. The pictures on the website looked nice and recent reviews seemed ok for a one night stay. Our experience was not representative of the reviews nor the pictures. Upon arriving I paid cash as requested. After going up to the room my kids who have allergies began began having allergic reactions to something in the room so we elected to go stay somewhere else. We went down to the front desk to ask for a refund. They could not give me my cash back as they claimed to have deposited it (within 45 minutes on a sat evening at 7pm). They offered to do a refund on the credit card used to reserve the room but upon checking the statement the refund was never issued. When calling the hotel they said the owner was the only one who could help me and would be there Sundays after 4. For three weeks I called on Sunday after 4 and the owner was never there and never returned my calls. To date we never received our money back.

Very clean but also very worn. Fine for a one night stay. Staff extremely courteous. Good coffee and danish from bakery in the morning. TV volume was low…according to front desk this was a hotel-wide Cable issue. Yay closed captioning! Bed was comfortable if you like soft beds. Staff know there is work to be done there, but as I said, it is clean. The price is very reasonable. They also let us do an early check-in at noon for $30 more.

Very clean comfortable room. Tons of space and storage. Refrigerator a plus! Had trouble with 3rd party reservation, Belvedere staff went the extra mile to fix my booking! Will be staying here exclusively when I'm in the area.

Made a reservation from the car about 30 minutes before arriving, after seeing this establishment had fairly good reviews and our options were limited on a holiday weekend. The Belvedere Inn seemed a bit sketchy from the exterior but we walked in to see if the interior was any better. NOPE, IT WAS GROSS. Old, tired, smelly, as if it was smoked in and used as a movie set for a scene of a crime. We decided to immediately return the room keys and cancel our stay. After being told by the front desk that we would be refunded, by the time I checked our credit card bill a few weeks later there was no refund. Expecting a phone call to clear this up, the Belvedere staff refused. We never stayed but were charged for 2 rooms! Now I will have to dispute the charges through our credit card. I do not write reviews very often but TRUST ME DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL.
