The Griswold Inn - Essex

Essex CT is a charming, historical New England town. The Griswold Inn dining room, wine bar and public areas are similarly charming and historical. In sharp contrast, our room was cramped and charmless. The decor was tired, there were dirty marks on the wall and the bed seemed litttle more than a rollaway on casters (no headboard or frame). You could […] hear every step taken by the guests upstairs and word for word conversations of folks on the sidewalk immediately outside the room (because we were on the street level, we had to keep the shutters closed or people could peer in.) Toilet bags/kits had to go on the floor by the sink as there was nowhere to put them in the tiny bathroom. Quite frankly the room was depressing. Would neither recommend it nor stay there again.

Excellent historic inn located in beautiful New England coastal town. Front desk was exceptionally helpfull. Some rooms are very historic and have that charm about them. There may not be a better costal New England town.

The inn is located in downtown Essex which is a cute little town with historical houses. The hotel is very close to the river and yacht harbors, docking sites. Connecticut River Museum is feet away from the hotel. It was a great pleasure to walk around. The hotel is very down to earth and low-key (easy going, casual). Other folks staying at the hotel […] seemed to be very casual, humble people. The hotel's restaurant (tap room) was little too limited in terms of its menu. Restaurant service was not the best either. But this did not detract much from hotel's attractions. My biggest disappointment was the breakfast. It definitely did not match with the historical status of the hotel. Overall, it was a pleasure to stay at this hotel. Devamı

As the longest running hotel in the country the conditions of the Inn were minimal. The room was noisey, there was no music piped into the room as advertised and the service staff was anything but warm and friendly. We made a reservation for Sunday brunch. People were asked to stand in the lobby for 30 mins and names were called but not all of the names […] on the reservation list. The food was less than appealing and the waitress had a very bad attitude. Beautiful weekend though weather wise. Devamı

I knew that there was no TV in the room - so I was not disappointed - when I arrived there was the Jazz Brunch in the restaurant - wonderful music great atmosphere - I just checked in and enjoyed the music! The food was great!

We stayed in a suite and it was perfect. My wife and I actually liked the fact that there was no TV in the room. It was a cozy place to stay on a cold night.

Loved the band in the bar on Thursday night - I understand they are being replaced - that would be a disappointment. Overall, loved the inn.

Fantastic old New England Inn. Room was nothing special. Service was very good, polite and very friendly. Wish we had gotten in earlier to enjoy the charm of the taproom and restaurant. Good morning eats.

O Bar é imperdível! Há música ao vivo diariamente, o Bar é um charme, as paredes contam a história da cidade, vale a pena.
