The Pines is an old house that's been in the inkeepers' family for generations. It seems like it's mostly used by longer-term visitors at the University, but it also works for short stays like mine. It's got typical old house issues -- squeaky floors and some drafts, but it's clean and pleasantly furnished. The lighting and heat weren't quite up to modern standards, but the important stuff was OK -- the bed was comfortable, the breakfast satisfying, and the proprietors were friendly and sociable without getting annoying to someone like me who mostly wants a bed for the night, not socializing. Some rooms have shared baths. For the price it's great, comparable to the least expensive generic hotels that are farther out of town.
