Grist Mill Inn

I am so glad we changed our reservation to only one night! Wish we moved into the next town and skipped it all together! The reviews on the website are inflated. This place has seen better days and appears to be very affected by lack of staff(there is none, self check in). We were on the 3rd floor, a long trudge with suitcases up very dirty and threadless carpeted stairs. The sheets looked dirty. Couch looked like something you would find on the side of the road. Big stain in the bedroom carpet, do no walk barefoot! Could not open a window and loud air conditioning next to bed went on and off all night which made it harder to hear the sounds of ? Nice,/rats chewing! We sat in the library during the evening which was the best spot. Restaurant for dinner was closed and only 1 open restaurant in town which was packed. The 1 refrigerator is for all guests. 1 coffee Keurig provided and a case of less than desirable item of which the sign said you could take 2. Front door is kept unlocked (sign says not to lock it or you will lock other guests out!) . Not secure! Sadly, this place was so bad it was laughable. It does has potential but needs slot if work and and rat traps!

Enjoyed the quaint ambiance, the bed was comfortable. The online picture did not match the room. The barn-style door to the bathroom needs a handle of some sort both in and out. The bathroom switchplate was not screwed into the wall. The breakfast room had no water--we travel with our own tea and coffee, but there was a water cooler/heater with no water. There were oatmeal and cup of noodles available as complimentary options along with a microwave, but again no water. The Granary was only open for dinner, and quite understaffed. The detailed instructions made us feel as though we were staying with a fussy old aunt. "leave the place better than you found it"--but no way to clean a table, no bleach bucket in the "breakfast" room. Maybe the fussy old aunt has trouble keeping help. Would not stay here again.

This place should be shutdown, ie bulldozed/leveled. We spent 2 nights and never saw a front desk person ever, even on arrival. We called for room service - no return call. No housekeeping for our entire stay. The couch and chair in our room #4 needs to be tossed, not only were they old, but smelled as well. The rug was very old and thread bear. The bathroom door did not stay close. The mattress on the bed sagged in the middle. The stairs were extremely steep to room #4 and there was no assistance with luggage. We will never return. Also, the web site is not accurate by any means.
