8/10
The purpose of our visit was to teach our dog about long distance cycling, We traveled about 45 miles along the Erie Canal from Amsterdam to Little Falls with an expectation that selecting a bike friendly and pet friendly hotel/inn/B&B would allow us to fulfill our mission.
When we arrived we found this bike-friendly Inn had no place to store our bikes safely away from others. We were given the option of locking them to a railing in back which turned out perfectly fine, but wasn't ideal. Later, in the Inn at Stone Mill (a separate but related structure) we found that it should have been possible to safely store the bikes there, especially after hours when they would not have been in the way of any businesses in the building.
We found the room lovely, clean, spacious and really amounted to a studio-type apartment. Visually, it was wonderful and a good price. We think the Inn is a creative reuse of an old structure. It is exactly the type of business that can breath new life into legacy architecture. One small criticism is that we think it should be more clearly stated that the stairs are narrow and no elevator option exists in the building we were in (though the option for an elevator does exist in the building across the street).
All in all, a great stay and we'd stop by again!
