Lead with Kindness :: Love & Accept One Another

Romantic Getaway in Deerfield, MA

Locks of love

We had a jaw-dropping incident here recently where some dinner guests used racial epithets towards one of our wonderful servers.  Appalled guests at nearby tables apologized to him. (We did not know about this at that moment as we were having supper here ourselves with family and friends to celebrate love and friendship.) In 28 years we had yet to see people like this come in here. No – hang on, 27 years. In our first year as innkeepers I received a special unsigned letter that wondered if I had wet my finger and stuck it into an open electrical socket. Remember big 80’s hair?!

The Deerfield Inn is a place where we lead with kindness, care, and warmth. Your happiness is important to us and we care about you, but we have no tolerance for intolerance. This is not a place for prejudice. If you are the kind of person who has cruel and unkind thoughts and words about the people you see around you, you may not express them here. If you do, we will be glad to show you the door. We welcome everybody of any gender, ethnicity, and creed, but haters will never be welcome in this building.
