United StatesThe Hotel Studligil is a gem. You might miss it if you’re driving by, as they’re still waiting for their new sign. It changed hands recently, and the manager explained that the focus has been to make the inside comfortable before focusing on the outside.
This former school’s rooms are spotless with new baths and plenty of room for luggage. There is no mini-fridge or kettle, but there is a large dining room serving dinner and breakfast.
The best part is the food, and everything we had was hand crafted by the manager, her son, and her daughter. Actually, the best part was the manager herself. So sweet and helpful! And she actually went to school here when she was a kid.
We had planned to save our pennies and eat out of the cooler, but my partner decided to get a bite from the restaurant just before they closed at 9pm. It’s a limited menu because everything is freshly homemade. The curry soup, homemade burger creation, and savory bread were so wonderful that we opted to order breakfast while having dinner. In my somewhat limited experience with artfully created food, the food and sauces run out before the stomach is full. Not so here. There was extra of everything from the homemade blueberry sauce for the burger (I know, but trust me it’s amazing) to the herb butter for the homemade bread.
This non-pretentious, no-frills hotel has common areas to socialize and meet fellow travelers, and the staff is thoughtful and kind. Even if you don’t stay here, I recommend you stop in for a meal. (We enjoyed meeting the manager so much we wanted to remember her with a photo; she's in the middle; the food photos are before and after dinner.)
