We have stayed at the Craftsman Inn every Thanksgiving for 10 years. It is the closest lodging to my relative's small house where we celebrate Thanksgiving. A decade ago, we loved the Craftsman Inn. Its Stickley furniture, overstuffed armchairs near crackling fireplaces, russet and autumn tones really made this a cozy delight, like a home away from home. Ten years later, though, and the wear and tear is more than evident; it's in dire need of refurbishment. They stopped serving pastries with coffee in the lounge for breakfast so families need to eat next door. The carpets are paper-thin in places. There was no one at the front desk to greet us (or to screen guests) several times. The bedding smells musty. I really wish that the Craftsman Inn could invest in staff training and replace all the furniture. It used to be so wonderful.
