^ Drunken Dragon Inn is also a great place to go if you've made alot of potions & poisons and need a place to sell 'em without going into town.
Favorite INN? It really is a tough call for me. In the countryside (sorta) most of my chars have always liked Pells Gate. It's a pretty location, those 3 townsfolk outside are nice for chit-chat and taking down that errant wolf who's been following me the last mile, the Innkeep (forget her name) always has this huge stock of potions to sell, which is important cuz sometimes it's inconvenient to go all the way into town to get one. There's that fort right across the road, which is one of my favorite dungeon-dives.

The innkeep doesn't rent any beds, but
Spoiler if you pick the lock upstairs, nobody sees, and the bed is essentially free and can be slept in.
The problem with Pells Gate is the Innkeep offers no money if you wanna sell a potion. Somehow, she still has zero gold even though all my characters who've stayed there have given her hundreds if not thousands over time..
My favorite town Inn? It's up to my character. Usually it's a toss-up between Tiber Septim Hotel (which has that MASSIVE food-feast waiting upstairs, yet nobody ever eats it!), the West Weald Inn in Skingrad with its Alchemy shop in the basemant and interesting floor plan layout.
..I dunno, :shrugs: it's hard to say which is my absolute faves, really. Those are just the ones that popped into my head.
