Nordic Inn

"We traveled with a pet, and Nordic Inn could not have been more accommodating. The room was on the first floor with easy access to a grassy area for our dog. Accommodations for its human owners were just as welcoming. We knew we would arrive late, so the staff made it easy to access our room and settle in by providing us with written instructions. The highest compliment that we can give is, "We look forward to returning.""
