    warn carpet

    We were given a room that smelled musty. We thought it would be ok, just needed some air. But instead, by the morning, we were coughing, and many areas of the room we discovered had a smell that was so strong we had to remove our belongings immediately and ask for another room. The smell was like a bad basement, almost like urine. Our luggage even smelled from it. They offered another room which has a similar but lighter odor. Finally, they gave us a 2d floor. My friend slept on the floor because they had offered no rooms with two beds, even though we had requested two beds when we registered. They offered no compensation. We wanted to avoid a confrontation by asking after we left. I emailed and no reply. I called three times and was told that manager Chrystal would call me back right away. She never did. Carpet worn in places. The back deck needs a paint job. In clear view are the falling offer doors covering the garbage. The property needs some TLC. Maybe I expect too much for 450$ a night.

    I'll start off by saying the website room booking could use improvement. It's a bit primitive. Same for the phone system, an interactive voice response system that no one ever answers. Makes late check-in a bit odd. Once here you're going to love it. Great looking mansion with an elegant restaurant and a warm friendly bar. Super looking grounds too. Paid about $450 for two nights in the Carriage House.

    Front of carriage house with "garbage" on porch.

    We booked an overnight in room 217 which was in the carriage house. When we arrived we were shocked by how different it looked from the pictures online. The main house and carriage house had peeling paint. To the immediate left of the carriage house there was a mess as well as garbage on the side porch (see pictures). We were willing to let that go until we stepped inside. There was a horrible odor from dampness/mold. They had dehumidifiers running on each floor but it wasn't helping. When we entered the room the odor was still there. It was newly painted and had a new floor but the furniture wasn't the same as in the picture and looked tired. The windows on the door going to the porch was very dirty (see pic) and the porch was unkempt with peeling paint and furniture in disarray. We went to the front desk to see if there was another room available as we could see another house that looked fairly new (believe the 300's rooms are in there) but they were all booked. The hostess said she could give us a refund so we left to go to another location. Over a week went by and I still hadn't received my refund so I called the Inn. No apology was given she just said she is doing it now. Very disappointed...

    First time ever staying here. We were at a local wedding near by. It is a very cute place. Driving to the building all the way in the back where we were staying but very unlevel. Lots of holes driving up. Breakfast they said comes with the stay. It's not really breakfast it's muffins and bagels with yogurt or cereal. Other local places to eat near by. Our room was very nice. The place could definitely use some updating for sure but it was cute. The service was great! If you want water bottles. I would bring your own. They do have 1 blue bottle of water that I'm pretty sure you have to pay for. Otherwise it was very nice with our walk out balcony.

    Sad to see this place go downhill. Such a historic place that needs a complete renovation and restoration.

And the hosts, Meri and Marcus, make you feel right at home and go the extra mile to make your stay enjoyable. Private beach access 2 short blocks away - and the Inn provides your beach chairs & towels! Gorgeous river access at the back of the property too. Close to so much - The Old Saybrook Inn & Spa, great restaurants, kayak rentals, outlet shopping - PLENTY to do near by. (And I found out 2 of their rooms accommodate well behaved pets, so next time, the puppy will join me!) I can't wait for my next visit and excuse to get back to this hidden gem! It's great for couples, for friends, and for families!

    The Griswold Inn is an iconic stop if you're in Connecticut…read more Not only is it full of history, it has the absolute best Christmas vibes (complete with carolers who travel from table to table) The food is really good - with a good variety of options including some very unique options. Everything we had we loved! Drinks were delicious, and spot on. Because of the season, it was really busy, and our waiter seemed a bit overwhelmed. We ordered wine for our meals, and it didn't come until after we finished eating. Understandable with the season, but did feel a little hard to get something if we needed it! Overall I'd recommend going because it's worth the fun Christmas vibes.

Unfortunately, most of nearly every aspect of our experience was disappointing: *While we were expecting a small, quaint room (which we certainly got), we were not expecting the walls to be paper thin and the heating system to be ineffective. We were located in the inn itself, and you could hear folks on the stairway, going into their rooms, etc. The heating in our room was really wonky--75 degrees and it felt icy cold. For $300 a night?? *The Thanksgiving buffet was OK. We tried to get drinks at the bar beforehand and had to wait a long time because the ONE woman behind the bar decided to hate us from the onset and serve every single person there before grudgingly turning to us. As for the food, there were some hits and misses. We appreciated that there were some salads available, and while the stuffing was bone dry, it tasted pretty good. There were some other roasted veggies and mashed potatoes, and we did like the turkey. Dessert, however, was disgusting. It was either defrosted Betty Crocker or from an Aramark catalogue, but absolutely nothing was homemade. *The reason why we're especially pissed at the place was the "continental breakfast" included in the cost of the room. LOL! A couple Chobani yogurts, stale Aramark pastries, and not-even fresh hard boiled eggs that were so defrosted that they actually squirted water when you sliced into them. Disgusting. What a joke. Better just to serve coffee than what they had. How embarrassing for America's oldest "continuously-running" inn, a moniker that they are so proud to boast of. Listen, this place is adorable and the dining spaces are cozy and the staff (other than the bar) is extremely kind. Essex also couldn't be more cute and we definitely want to be back here again in the warmer months, but we would actually prefer to stay at a Courtyard Marriott and get the points because it would be far less money and--we can't believe we're saying this--better quality. Maybe we'd come back for the regular menu at the restaurant, but overall, it's three stars.
