Elk River Hotel

The house/hotel is absolutely beautiful! Full of antiques and original wood, stained glass windows, fireplaces, a wrap around porch with rocking chairs, water (Elk River?) at the back of the property, this place exceeded my expectations. The pictures on the website don't do it justice. I booked a suite, which was about $200/night. It was well worth it. The walls were solid so I couldn't hear my neighbor if I even had one. It was very clean, aside from a used bar of soap in the shower. The bed was large and soft and incredibly comfortable. The decor was beautiful, and I loved the balcony overlooking the trees and water. I found myself hating to leave the next day, wishing I could stay an extra night. I slept through breakfast due to how comfortable the bed was, but it looked to be mostly portable with granola bars, oatmeal packets and such.

The only parking is on the street, and is rather limited. I did manage to snag a good spot but if I had stayed another night I don't know if that still would have been the case. Also, the curtain rod in the shower needs to be tightened down as it's about to fall out of the ceiling.

The room was cute and the view of the balcony over the river was very pretty- loved hearing the water rushing by as we took a nap. Our room was well furnished with desk space, couch/chairs, etc. The main building was beautiful with old wood fixtures and decor. Customer service, and the inns involvement with the events we were in town for (themed cocktails, custom bottle caps) were much appreciated and great touches that made the stay unique and memorable . A highlight was the hideaway bar with a river view. A ghost tour was free for guests - which was interesting but we didn’t take part after a long day out and about. Bed was comfy and smelled so clean and crisp. We had a great walk down the town center.

Minor maintenance items need a little love. (Loose faucet, bathroom caulking) Breakfast was a bit confusing- we had to figure out to sit and wait for service. hot items were mostly carbs which were good but not ideal as a hearty breakfast but it was good. If you have dietary Restrictions you may be fending for yourself.

Friendliness of staff

Room smelled musty but was better after fan and opening windows for a bit.

The location along the River and the Glamping pod which was very comfortable, clean and relaxing.

Sadly the town of Sutton has little to offer except the River

Tent was wonderful, staff was welcoming, and the place was clean and quite

We liked the concept of the dome tent with the open view and the unique decor. It was well cleaned on the inside, had comfortable furnishings, and had nice bathroom facility. The two staff members that we met were also friendly.

The outside of the dome tent and deck areas were not well kept. There was a old toilet in a box sitting by the entrance that had been weathered. The outside of the dome windows had several areas that had not been cleaned in some time. The main problem was lack of adequate heat in the dome tent. Using both the wall unit and the additionally provided box heater didn't heat the area effectively. The price of $180 for the night was over priced even if the facility and heat provided would have been as expected.

I orginally did not get the room i ordered because it was not ready so was givin another room. The room was ok. Staff was friendly. It was ok.

The location and ambiance was good.

The bathroom was too dirty to take a shower in. I can overlook small things, no problem for a seasoned traveler who has been around the world, but when the bathtub is dirty to the point I need to clean the tub before bathing myself then the housekeeping is not doing very well. I was too tired to do their job for them and opted for rest instead. No complaints, no fuss.
