Silver Maple Inn and the Cain House Country Suites

It was easy to reserve and the woman at the front desk was very friendly & helpful. The grounds are pleasant. When we walked into the office to check in we were accosted by an awful lemon air freshener. I had to step outside it was so bad. When we walked in our room we were again accosted by the smell of bleach. It burned our eyes and throat terribly and made us sick. I understand needing to keep rooms clean, but this is dangerously close to feeling poisoned. The sheets are rough and the towels rougher. The floors buckled and were very gritty. Do not walk barefoot. The rooms are clean except for the grit on the floors and dead bugs on the floors and toilet. Yuck! The shower is clean, but super small and awkward. The shower head does not move and points to the wall up high as opposed to down so it’s very hard to wash your hair. There is a small fridge and coffee maker which is helpful. The AC is very loud, does not work so well and the remote must be super close to the unit to work. The unit is up high and only points towards one side of the room. Luckily we only stayed one night. Lots of simple improvements could be made to make this a better stay.

We were given a lovely reception and allocated a room with fab views. The bed was very comfortable and room equipped with everything you could want; fridge, coffee machine and there are also several bbqs in the garden for you to use. The room was very clean and plenty of towels. Wish we could have stayed longer - it's a great place.

Nice hotel with a "yard" to sit out in the evening and relax. Two drawbacks though, mattress too soft for my taste and the bathroom was small at least in room 14. If you are large person you may have trouble using it. My wife thought it was a tight fit and she is only 5ft.

My wife selected the honeymoon suite in The Cain House portion of the Silver Maple Inn property right on Main St. in Bridgeport for our stay. This was a second-floor room with a queen-sized bed and ensuite bathroom. The stairway going up to this room was quite narrow, consisting of 2 small flights, and rather steep, in keeping with its age. Apparently, this home had been moved here at some point from its original location in the near and now ghost town CA State Park of Bodie. It was a moderate-sized room, also in keeping with the period of its build. The catch upon our arrival was that the room had perhaps only been superficially cleaned: we found a sock under the dresser (easily visible), a moisturizing tube laying on the floor heater vent, a wrapper of some kind on the rug, a cracked glass in the bathroom and another that had obviously not been cleaned well. Someone on the cleaning staff was obviously not paying attention. We raised these issues the next morning with management and was quickly offered a credit on our stay as no other room was available. We were also told that she would personally supervise the cleaning of our room. We found it most agreeable in that regard. The soundproofing in the room was not much as, again, in keeping with the time of its original building, rooms tended to be built close together and soundproofing was not really much of a consideration. Remember, this was originally a private family home now serving a very different purpose. The bed frame was also a bit creaky. The room had a small TV mounted on the wall carrying DirecTV, a small fridge and a Keurig coffee brewer. There was a microwave on the first floor near the entrance which seemed a bit odd. The main floor sitting room had a beautiful fireplace which we can only imagine would be lovely when/if actually in use. While we considered this to be a fairly pricey accommodation given its regular daily rate, the credit we were given made it acceptable. Still, if we come this way again, we might very well give this spot another try because of the management, or try one of the other rooms in its regular motel accommodations. A qualified recommendation given our overall experience.

Beautiful grass grounds in the middle of the property. Room was small and nice enough, but the drapes stunk of air freshener spray. The green pillow covers looked a little dirty like they aren't changed. Not my favorite place we stayed during our road trip, but based on driving through and dinning in Bridgeport I think it's probably one of the best options.

Pros: clean rooms- nice wood looking floors - was greeted warmly at the office - has fridge and coffee maker in room. Cons: Had problems with the TV office staff had to come and get it working - the rooms really NEED a rug at the entry door because floor got real Sandy from just walking in and it’s terrible to put you bare feet on. They really NEED A RUG to rub your shoes on.
