Strawberry Inn

We stayed here for only one night and got in late so our key was taped to the registration sign for us.  No problem.  The room was okay, not great, but had a nice view of the river.  We were traveling over to 395 from there and partially picked the place because it has breakfast - supposedly at 7:30 AM.  We packed up our stuff and went upstairs at 7:30 and the restaurant was locked.  We decided to put all of our stuff in our car and see if they open.  As we walked out there was a guy smoking outside who we later realize is the owner.  No "hello".  Nothing.   We could hear people talking behind the "employees only" door but still the restaurant was not open.  Finally, about 7:45 the door was unlocked and the cigarette-smoking owner and some other guy with a scowl on his face were by the bar/registration.  Immediately decided not to try breakfast - seemed a little too unfriendly.  When I handed the owner my keys he said - nothing.  Not "how was your stay?".  Nothing.   If you want a warm and fuzzy experience in the mountains, this is not the place.

Only reviewing the restaurant portion here. The poor waiter is also the busboy and bartender. He was pretty overworked-so my advice to management is hire at least one more person to help. My in laws loved their cheeseburger. My husband said his BLT was excellent. My nachos were lackluster-too much velveta and the chips were stale. Better quality chips and using real cheese and I'm sure they would be getting five stars from us.

I have never been so disappointed before. It was a cold rainy day so we ordered a mocca and hot chocolate.  The mocca didn't taste like coffee or chocolate and I have had better hot chocolate at gas stations instant machines.

We ordered a large pizza which came back 30 minutes later looking rather small and with way too much cheese.  After being outdoors for three days we figured that 'large' pizza was barely going to be enough for my boyfriend and I.  Yet the dough was pretty much undercooked and flavorless that we had half of it left over.

The table next to us left after waiting 20 minutes for a coffee. We told them, the were the lucky ones.
