Once again readers, I thrilled with my stay in a small "Inn" which offered me everything I needed at a very reasonable rate.
Food, parking, great Internet, breakfast in the morning, comfortable bed and spotless bathroom.
Yes there are newer hotels close by but the Quality Inn Waddling Dog offers travelers a true "inn" experience. A room that has charm!

Waddling Dog is a treat in our view. Yes the "residents' lounge" furniture is worn -- and there are 2 or three patterns in sight at any given time. Feels like grandpa's in Hertford England! (complete with basset hound.) We have family living around the corner and they join us in the evening; we have dinner in the hotel and then visit in front of the fire in the residents' lounge. Feels like we are entertaining at home! The rooms are very spacious; the bed very comfortable. The AC can be noisy -- but the windows actually open, so who needs the AC?
We've been here often and hope to continue to stay here whenever we are in the area.

Very nice hotel, friendly staff and dog "John" welcomes you at the desk. Lots of character in the architecture, very cosy.

The staff we encountered were very friendly and accommodating. My kids were even able to walk the dog! (John V). The hotel was very quiet and reminiscent of an old tudor manor. But even the very friendly staff couldn't help the sad state of the rooms. The bathrooms are in need of some serious updating. There was mold appearing on the grout of the tiles, there was standing water in the tub when you had a shower, there was some paint peeling on the ceiling, and if you lifted the handle on the tap too much it sprayed out from the handle! The beds were not too comfortable, and the brass rail headboard was just annoying. The continental breakfast was not all that appealing ( toast / muffins / cold boiled eggs) We decided to eat elsewhere after the first day. Although the price was very reasonable, I can see why they couldn't justify charging more. I couldn't recommend the staff more, as they were always friendly, smiling and willing to help out. If they updated their facilities while still retaining the old world charm, they would have a world class boutique hotel. Should the Manager read this review, the room number was #311.
