We had so much fun at Fairview Inn, it was a perfect night. Courtney and Tonya were the bartenders, they were awesome. We had drinks, we danced then stayed the night. The rooms were cute and clean. The owner is really nice too. We will definitely be staying there again!!!

For weary travelers, those with kids and/or families, those seeking even a semi-decent overnight stay in what truly is a unique, quirky, cute little town, do NOT book this place. The establishment "caters" to a pretty specific crowd/demographic, and unless you "fit" into that niche, AVOID booking this place. Expedia!!, WHY don't you warn travelers before booking??? When someone books here, it is NON-REFUNDABLE. Their posting is deceiving at best, incorrect and nothing near honest on the whole. Rooms are TINY, have no TV, and the bar music BLASTS from just a few feet from the bottom of the stairs until 1-2AM! Sleep is next to impossible...and the noise is SOOOOOO bad that you can't even work on your computer! Check-in must be done at the BAR with dozens of people there drinking. We watched the bartend actually SITTING WITH patrons and DRINKING! VERY UNCOMFORTABLE check-in process. There is NOTHING in their posting about the music and true condition of the property. The live music--blues, according to the bartend when we were there--was little more than missed notes, voices screaming out of tune, and drunk people yelling and spurring it on. I travel quite a bit and usually provide reviews for food establishments. There is no food here (despite their posting)...but I couldn't NOT post this review for other travelers.

Owners not upfront with band 3 feet from bedroom with noise and vibration from 9pm-2am. They took our money on false pretext. They are dishonest and deceitful. They then pretended it was in the fine print. They think it’s funny taking out if towners money because they won’t be back. Their poor reputation will precede them.

Great stay. Walking distance to everything. Old school atmosphere. Live music at night. You will hear it at night (rooms above bar). It didn’t bother me. I love live bands.

The only thing that really saves this inn is its proximity to the river, food, and activities in town. It really is a beautiful little town and I don’t want to overlook that! The people are kind and the food is great, it’s definitely worth the visit, just without staying at this location. Very honestly, This was probably the worst hotel we have stayed at in a while. The room was small and the temperature was difficult to manage, the door and keys were questionable at best, the bed was uncomfortable, and the shared bathrooms were disgusting. It was like staying at a low budget hostel at 4x the price. Let’s start with the bathrooms: They were littered with beer bottles and empty drink cups, all kinds of bodily fluids all over the seat and toilets. Even when the door was locked, which should be an indicator that someone is already in there, other guests or bar patrons were still able to open the doors and freely walk in. Not at all enjoyable. Then there was the live music… This music was supposed to end around 1 in the morning, reasonable for a weekend, but the screeching microphones, off key singing, yelling, and absolute chaos continued up past 3am. They did offer a jar of ear plugs, but they looked beyond decrepit. When we woke up to check out, the main area where we checked in was locked and there was no key drop. We received no instructions on what to do with the keys, so our taxi driver ended up dropping them off with the AM bartender.
