New Harmony Inn Resort and Conference Center

Disappointing. My wife and I had lovely memories of the Inn from some years ago but our return trip was disappointing. The rooms are in dire need of refurbishment and updating. Cleanliness was spotty -- the air vent in the ceiling was so dark and black it drew your eyes to it; the main garbage can for our room was clearly not emptied from the last rental. Comfort was lacking -- our room had a sleeper sofa that was about the most uncomfortable bed I've ever tried to relax in and it appeared to be decades old. In the quest of a nice room we also selected a room that offered a upper alcove for the bed -- DON'T DO THIS. The staircase to the alcove is a spiral/circle one and while the idea may be quaint, it really is impossible to go up it with anything in your hands primarily because you are holding on for dear life to go up these thin, thin, steps in a tight, tight spiral. And upstairs in the alcove is the bed and two side tables. That's it. No other facilities whatsoever. So, guess what? Got to get up at night and relieve the bladder? Better get very awake to go down and then up those stairs because they are truly perilous even wide awake and the daylight. We will never go back.

This is the only hotel in town, I think. It certainly doesn't qualify as a "resort" in my opinion. My room was just average - a little dated. Bathroom was fine. I think I was the only one on the property the first night I stayed. Staff leave at 11 pm, so there is no staff there overnight. I was not comfortable with that. The second night there seemed to be some other guests. It was VERY quiet. So was the whole town. If I ever go back to New Harmony I will look for a B&B.

Always a peaceful retreat! perhaps a good thing that the TV didnt work...
