Chester's Inn Victoria focuses on romance. Antiques and Victorian flairs decorate the rooms, but the inn also has Wi-fi, a hot tub, DVD players and movies. One special attraction of the Victoria is a murder-mystery night, but guests can find packages that include massages, wine tastings, formal teas and sleigh rides that explore the area's multiple covered bridges. Art galleries, dining and shopping, including antique stores, can be found within several blocks. Because the inn is a popular spot for weddings, guests typically need reservations.
The Hugging Bear uses a teddy bear theme throughout the hotel, with 10,000 bears, including those in a Steiff shop. Steiff collectors and fans meet at the property for parties and shows. Each room includes a private bath, and some can accommodate larger groups. Children are allowed. Guests may explore the other doll shops nearby, take one of the two wooded hiking trails or investigate the historical buildings such as the Victorian train station. Restaurants offer fare from pizza to steak.
The Motel in the Meadow in Chester has rooms with kitchenettes, sitting areas and cable.
