Would 100% stay there again!
The rooms were clean. Loved the decor - simple and classy. The beds were comfortable and the room darkness was perfect with the blinds. The shower was fantastic as well.

Love this Inn!!!
We really enjoyed our first trip
to the NLI. The hotel was aesthetically beautiful. We loved the old charm mixed with more modern touches. So elegant at every turn.
We enjoyed Sunday brunch at the Lionne Brasserie. Nice variety of dishes, though the food could have been kept warmer. Our server, a PSU student, was friendly and knowledgeable and will certainly do well in her career in hospitality.
We can’t wait to visit again!
