This hotel is nice! It was nice that the rooms are on one side and the restaurant is on the other. Beautiful lobby and entryway. There was a fire going in the lobby when we arrived which made it feel cozy. The beds were soft which made for a great nights sleep! We definitely would stay here again! We stayed here to go to The Caverns for an event so it was ideal location.

Wonderful weekend stay

We had a lovely stay at the Sewanne Inn. The lobby is beautiful and cozy and the staff was welcoming and went out of their way to accommodate us. Its proximity to the university is perfect for exploring the campus and hiking trails.We didn’t golf or tennis but the facilities looked nice. The breakfast at Shakerag restaurant is not to be missed. Overall, we had a rejuvenating stay.
