Check in is at 4 pm, and we arrived right around that time. The receptionist offered to give us a tour of the common areas before she took us to our room. First, she showed us a cute little outdoor area with a large frame for photo taking opportunities. Next, she took us to a separate barn space, which guests have access to 24-7. It is heated, has snacks, drinks, and games. The property only has six rooms, so I'd imagine that if you reserved a block of rooms for a wedding or something, the barn would be an awesome space for you to hang out with friends.
We loved our room! It was surprisingly spacious and had a balcony with a nice sitting area. Had it not been raining, I absolutely would have spent some time out there enjoying the outdoor space.
The room decor was modern, the room itself was very clean and must have been updated/renovated recently. There was a little kitchen area with a sink, a fridge, and the nicest Nespresso machine that I have ever encountered in a hotel. The fridge comes stocked with an extra bottle of water, two sodas, and a chilled bottle of white wine available for purchase. There are also plates, glasses, and silverware available for your use.
The bathroom was so awesome that it deserves a paragraph of its own. It was enormous, with heated floors, a full size bathtub, and a large shower. The shower faucet is located near the shower entrance, not under the shower head like most showers, so you can adjust the temperature to your liking without getting doused with a stream of ice-cold water. The towels were enormous, looked brand new, and there were robes and slippers too.
A couple of other nice room touches-wine bottles available for purchase, a remote control for the room blinds, and a very comfortable bed.
The breakfast was a very pleasant surprise- they deliver Bouchon pastries to your room, along with some fresh fruit and orange juice. I really do appreciate the little things hotels do to try to make your stay feel more luxurious and special, and for us, this amenity was the icing on the cake of what was already a wonderful stay.
I'd highly recommend staying at the Setting Inn, particularly if you prefer to stay somewhere with a little more character and charm than the larger hotel chains.
