Pictures and reviews can be deceptive. Upon arrival in Berea KY we immediately noticed and economically depressed area with closed and or abandoned businesses. The Inn looked like old southern charm outside, but that s where the fun ended, we checked into the lobby which was redone not necessarily to period, more like Home Depot meets the Flea Market and IKEA. We went to the second floor and the hallway was more like a rollercoaster than a floor. The room reeked of mildew, there was no fan in the bathroom which explains the paint peeling on the ceiling, couldn t open a window to air it out, that was jammed shut. The air conditioning sounded like bowling balls in an a trash can when it kicked on.. boring town with nothing happening with an overhyped inn that could use a massive renovation..or a match.
