Fodor's Review:

An inn since 1773, the Red Lion has hosted presidents, senators, and celebrities. It consists of a large main building and seven annexes, each of which is different (one is a converted fire station). If you like historic buildings filled with antiques, request a room in the main building: many of these units are small, and the furnishings are a tad worn in places, but this is the authentic inn. If you want more space and more modern furnishings, request a room in one of the annex buildings. The venerable old inn has a brand new chef, and Brian Alberg is infusing new life and tastes. A James Beard Society member, he emphasizes seasonal ingredients and locally grown produce. His menu includes roasted root vegetable hash with apple cider served with grilled pork tenderloin and a spinach and carmelized onion and goat cheese quiche. The main dining room ($$-$$$$) has a somewhat formal ambience; Widow Bingham's Tavern is cozier and less formal; for pub fare and live music, head to the Lion's Den.
