The John Philip Sousa Suite
John Philip Sousa had his first concert in Plainfield over 100 years ago, and we believe he would feel right at home in the suite that bears his name. The high queen canopy bed with a down quilt, an elaborate lace and fringe canopy and skirt dominates this largest of our bedrooms.

Couples looking for a romantic setting appreciate the warm glow of the fireplace.

A 'Victorian' ceiling fan sends cool breezes while you relax in the Lay-Z-Boy chair while you read by the fire or watch the console TV with premium channel cable and VCR. In the separate little dressing room there is a complete set for making coffee, tea, or cocoa and a very large full-length mirror. The bathroom has ceiling and walls covered with clouds, as well as an old-fashioned soaking tub and shower combination.
