It's a tidy, smallish, clean room with a very comfortable bed and en suite bathroom that features a stand in shower. The decor in the room is nicely quirky and the room is in the front of the building, facing the town park, lake, and the main road through town. A window mounted air conditioner provides capable, quiet cooling. There was a bit of noise one morning as a group of motorcycles passed by but it was a minor issue. The lobby of the Inn is on the side of the building - there is an obvious sign. Check-in was handled by a gentleman named Anthony. Keys (real keys) were provided for the room and for the lobby door as the lobby was locked after hours. Anthony walked through the policies, toured the public areas of the hotel, and then a tour of the room. All of the rooms are upstairs - I don't recall seeing an elevator and the stairs are a bit narrow. There's a coffee maker in the hall for free coffee and snacks and cold beverages that are $1 each on the honor system. The Inn offers a buffet breakfast for $20. I didn't partake in the breakfast due to my dietary preferences but my traveling companions mentioned that it was a standard and satisfactory offering - eggs, bacon, sausage, pastries, cereal, tea, and coffee. The public areas are on the main level. There's a comfy, well stocked library, an interesting collection of art, a gift shop, and some outside seating. The Inn sits across the street from a town park that sits on the lake. It has a pavilion and some seating scattered about. The free Wi-Fi was always available and seemed adequate. Parking is available on the street for free. The Westport Marina is just down the hill from the Inn and includes The Galley Restaurant and Bar along with a gift shop and full service docking facilities. JAMBS on Main is a block away. It's a deli and offers a variety of fresh morning coffees along with fresh, warm pastries. I do recommend the Inn and would stay there again if my travels took me to Westport.

    Grünberg Haus

    For years I stayed somewhere new every time I visited Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, but what I…read morereally wanted was one place I'd want to return to again and again, somewhere that felt like a second home. A year ago I found it at Grünberg Haus, and I've been coming back again this summer--and it was the best tripe yet by far! Duane is the kind of host you don't forget. He seems to know what you need before you do, and you can feel how much he genuinely cares about everyone who walks through the door. I was traveling solo to meet up with friends and got there before anyone else arrived. Duane met me right in the parking lot, helped me get settled. Little touches like that set the tone for the whole stay. I stayed in the Inn and it was perfect. The bed was incredibly comfortable, everything was spotless, and the decor is full of personality and details you will never get tired of discovering. Mostly, though, it was just relaxing. I spent a lot of time just hanging out doing nothing but listening to the woods around me. As a lifelong New Yorker, it was the exact opposite of my daily life, and exactly what I needed. Breakfast is where Duane really shines. He is the heart and soul of Grünberg Haus and a true culinary genius. Every morning he cooked something different and every single one was a winner: egg, ham, and cheese; pancakes and eggs; breakfast tacos. And that yogurt and berry parfait... I'm still dreaming about it. The inn itself is gorgeous, decked out with great pop culture posters and all kinds of fun finds. My friends and I spent evenings hanging out in the cozy living room with a few drinks, and it was a blast. Duane also recently put in a new wifi system that boosted the internet across the entire property, so staying connected was never an issue, even out in the cabin. In the gathering room of the Inn, he's got an incredible selection of records! And if you want to watch anything, the projector is great. The location can't be beat. You're about five minutes from downtown Waterbury, home to one of my favorite bars anywhere, Blackback Pub, plus Freak Folk Brewing, Prohibition Pig, and Hen of the Wood, where I had an unforgettable dinner. If you want something with far more character than a standard hotel, I can't recommend Grünberg Haus enough. Also, Neko is the BEST!

    We are an "older" couple touching 70 cycles around the sun and while some might find Grunberg too…read morealternative for their taste we loved it. Duane is a super host and Neko his dog was a constant quiet companion. Duane serves up breakfast with flair even while doing simple fare. The location is awesome for the northern area around Stowe Burlington etc. . Drop off the stuffy tired chain hotel expectations and let yourself unwind here. Play dJ with the huge eclectic record collection Duane has or just play some pool or hang out . Go ahead, you'll love it.
