Fullerton Inn & Restaurant

Situated in a quiet neighborhood, the accommodation offers an amazing location. The staff is kind, friendly, courteous, and excellent.

We booked two nights in a King room with porch access for over $200 a night ( paid one night deposit in advance. We knew the Fullerton from many years ago and it had always been the “Crown Jewel” of Chester. We were saddened to see how poor the place now looks. We were forewarned by the owner that breakfast was small ( didn’t experience this) and that “although they clean the porch every day there may be some pollen on the furniture” I guess he was managing expectation……but even so we’re weren’t prepared for what we found when we climbed the gritty and worn out stairs to our room. Basically the room was tired, dirty and uncomfortable. The thought of sleeping there made us itch, and the toilet was gross. We had imagined sitting on the porch with a glass of wine in the evening, (bearing in mind no air conditioning or TV in the room) - but no way could we sit out on that porch! The photos attached give an idea of why we decided to forfeit our deposit and leave after 10 minutes. We explained the reason for our departure but the owner either didn’t care or genuinely believed this standard was acceptable to justify a $200 a night price tag! We were not charged for the second night but there was no offer of refund for the night we had already paid for. We have since found that the place is for sale - which might explain the lack of interest in making any effort to cultivate a positive reputation or any repeat business.

I was more than pleased with my stay at The Fullerton Inn. The Inn itself was very nice, clean, comfortable, inviting, relaxed atmosphere. I believe I may have interacted with everyone there other than the kitchen staff who prepared many tasty and plentiful meals. Try and save room for their desserts, you won't be disappointed. As for the rest of the staff, engaging, pleasant, professional, and enjoyable to interact with, including, Rob the proprietor, all were most welcoming.
