Sherwood Inn

Sherwood Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The property is lovely, the staff was very nice, and the food was terrific! The room, and I would assume all the rooms in Maplewood Building would be similar, could use some tlc. The carpet has been in there for years, since there were wood-burning fireplaces. It had burn marks and stains all over it, as well as a large visible seam across it. Other than the fact that it’s age is showing, I have no complaints."
