White Inn

$ | 52 E. Main St., Fredonia, NY, 14063, USA

Victorian frills and florals are in full effect at this handsome inn, originally the White family residence. Some of the building dates from 1868; it became an inn in 1919. Victorian antiques and reproduction pieces furnish the rooms, which have wall-to-wall carpeting and (very) floral wall coverings and may have white-wicker furniture or carved-wood four-poster beds. The restaurant serves mostly Continental fare that includes entrées such as pecan-encrusted chicken and prime rib (Friday and Saturday only).

Pros

  • On Fredonia's main strip within walking distance of shops and restaurants
  • Big breakfasts

Cons

  • Furnishings need updating
  • No views
  • Poor soundproofing
