Upon arrival we were informed the kitchen closes in 5 minutes ( it was 7:55PM on a Thursday night. The food was fantastic but the service was spotty. Wait staff our first night was clueless and their insight on the wine list was" I haven't tried any of them" and was less informative about the specials. Foe the room rate we would have expected a better view than the rusty air conditioning compressors , a cracked pedestal sink, a shower door that would not close, a shower floor in die need of retiling. Most disturbing was the useless screen obsessed oafs that lounged at reception absorbed in their phones or computer monitors. The continental breakfast was lack luster and more akin to a budget hotel with 6's or 8's in their brand. A dysfunctional toaster which frequently taxed the electrical power cord int the dinning area made it all but impossible to use by hotel guests, and a request for assistance was not even acknowledged by the large male host fixated on their hand held screen.

Charm, comfort, flawless service, delicious cuisine and absorbing local history are the order of the day in this elegant monument to New England history a short drive from New York City. It's a "must-do" for locals and visitors alike.

Don't stay in room 20, unless you like walking next to the fence by the kitchen exhaust and dumpsters to gain access to your room. The dingy bathroom, rugs, low wattage bulbs, sheets you can see through, grubby walls in need of paint sofa half reupholstered are just so depressing.
The public rooms are charming and they did a great job serving our large group (approx. 100). We did ask for a less expensive room but wow! We'll not stay there again anytime soon.

My husband and I spent a weekend in Conn going to antique shops and small towns and came across this Inn and decided to have lunch there. There was a waiting time of about 15 mins but welll worth the wait. We asked to be seated in the dining room area as the bar area was a litle too noisy for us. They had a Christmas Tree on the bar decorated in Halloween pumpkins.We order a Turkey club and home made potate chips and it was so tender and tasty. The place was great to walk through and see all the old pictures and items from the past. Make this a stop the next time you are in town.
