Black Bear Inn is one of my favorite places to stay while we are visiting family and friends. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. The continental breakfast has lots to choose from. Even though it is close to the interstate, it is quiet and peaceful here.

On our first night we had a room on the highway side. Lots of noise! The hotel moved us directly across the hall without question. Convenient to Old Town where we were visiting family.
