The Inn is tastefully decorated in period furnishings, is air conditioned and has wireless internet access. Guests are served a full, gourmet breakfast in the Penfield dining room, using the freshest locally grown produce and farm fresh eggs.

Located in the heart of the historic district, it is a short walk to shops, restaurants, historical sites, as well as breathtaking Canandaigua Lake. All guest rooms have private baths/showers, a TV/DVD player with movies available for guest use. Several luxury rooms have a Jacuzzi tub and fireplace. Fresh baked goodies await visitors in the late afternoon, and complimentary beverages are available in our guest refrigerator.

The Inn is unique in that it offers an Independent Family Suite, which caters to families or couples traveling together and sleeps up to five adults. This self-sufficient unit has a full kitchen stocked with breakfast foods for guest use, and has an open diningroom/livingroom concept, with two bedrooms and one bath.
