Cheshire Welcome Inn is a clean, well-kept property owned and run by a lovely family. Nerali, who checked me in, was kind, humble, and had absolutely zero ego. She suggested a great place for dinner, and the room had good water pressure, was neat, and had excellent room service. A peaceful, welcoming stay – highly recommend!

If you’re open to an old style motel - one story, park in front of your door - I think you will love this. True there are older furnishings but I found them to be fine and the bed was very comfortable. Very clean motel and rooms. It is run by the on site owners, a very hard working and charming young couple that really make things special. They are slowly adding upgrades. Great Cheshire location and great nightly rates. Thank you Cheshire Welcome Inn for a great stay.

Staff was helpful, room was clean. Water pressure was great, hot water didn't run out, shower head is raised for taller people. Area felt safe, walked to breakfast in the dark and DD's. Only complaint is the mattress dipped on the most used side

The room was spotless, lighted beautifully. It had a fridge, freezer, microwave and coffee machine. The bedding was wonderful. Great thread count on the sheets. The blanket had another sheet over the blanket, which usually is available only in 4&5 ⭐ hotels. I thought I had left a family heirloom necklace in the room and called the office and the owner offered to look carefully herself to find it. She had complimented the piece when I checked in. I did find it a bit later in a piece of luggage. They were extremely gracious. What more could I ask for?

We came back to Cheshire for a funeral and we needed a resting place. The desk manager was kind and extremely accommodating to our needs. It is rare that you meet anyone but especially those in business that hear your needs and respond. She did that and we are very grateful. The room was clean ? The water was hot the lighting outside was beautiful along with scenery. We slept peacefully with an excellent experience at the Welcome Inn named appropriately!
