We enjoyed our stay at the Castle Rock Country Inn. The staff were mostly friendly. The housekeeper didn't seem in the best mood though as he said in passing that we would be charged an extra night since we were checking out late. I guess he didn't realize we were staying for two nights and not checking out yet. The view from our room was awesome. We could see the Keltic lodge area and peninsula. The free breakfast was nice esp the smoked salmon, but the pancakes were inedible. Overall this was a quaint property with good views and a convenient drive to restaurants.

Staff very accommodating, allowed early check in. Inn is very clean and well kept property and grounds. Squeaky doors and floors and shower, otherwise a good stop along the trail. Breakfast was enjoyable but there was no dinner service at this time.

The view was great, the stairs are not. A swffer cleaning mop was left under the bed that was dusty. The breakfast was ok if you like runny eggs and sausage. We did have a great time however and would recommend this Inn. They need to add a microwave as well
