Clean, good sized room. I could not figure out the TV so I did not watch it which was fine. Very good clear check in instructions and friendly and welcoming remotely. Foam mattress was comfortable. Bathroom sink faucet leaked. It suited my needs for a night being clean, comfortable, no extras.

Very comfortable bed, easy instructions for entry, and overall a good stay for passing through. No bath towel in the bathroom. Window A/C unit battle with central heating to cool the room. Would have been nice to have a chair, and the blinds definitely need replaced.

No desk or place to do work. Wound up working on the bed with my laptop. No other counters really to keep things UP off the floor. Furniture was old. Trim on the lamp was literally hanging off it. Had to kill a few large flying bugs, and it looks like there might have been some remains of bugs along the back wall behind the bed and bedstand. Air conditioning worked great. Towels were NEW and FLUFFY. WIFI was FAST & SOLID. Bed felt fresh, new bedsheets, etc. TV was good. Bathroom did NOT have a bathmat, and the skimpy 'shampoo' packets were silly. (At least have two of them per day per person.). The one main outlet looked 'fried' and it wouldn't 'hold' anything plugged into it. I wound up having to pull back the nightstand and plug laptop and chargers into that and the one in the bathroom. Ample easy parking, but not protected. Elevator was great to have. I would stay there again, but the room needs to be updated and BOTH blinds fixed (they were literally broken, very shabby.)

We have a very short but nice stay when we were in town visiting our son at college in Worcester. We arrived late and did not interact with any staff, but they had sent directions to get the room key and we had no problems upon arrival. Our only minor complaint was with the condition of the bathroom, which could use some attention. The sink doesn’t drain well because the stopper is broken so it is always closed, and there is a leak in the pipe to the shower head so water sprays out on to the wall next to the shower. Other than that it is a charming place to stay.

Spooky but pleasant

The building itself is a large, and almost spooky place. On the ground floor there is a barbershop and a restaurant, both closed, it appears that the restaurant is under construction and there was quite a bit of construction related debris inside when I looked in at the window. My room was a rickety elevator ride up to the top floor of the three story structure, followed by a walk down adark and dimly little hall. However, the room itself was quite nice. I had two very comfortable beds (only touched one) plenty of space, three or four windows, and a very nice, if small, little bathroom. It was clean, cozy, there was even a fireplace — although there was no indication if it worked and no fuel even if it did. Open the restaurant, put some more lighting in the halls, spruce the place up a bit and you’d have a very nice place

The downstairs area was mostly closed and the owners didn’t really interact with me outside of when I first arrived there, but the upstairs hallway area had this David Lynch/Silent Hill vibe to it. It was creepy in a good way, I really liked it. Even my bedroom was like that, though not as much as the hallway. My only complaints were the lack of toothpaste and shampoo in my bathroom, but other than that, I would love to come back here a 2nd time should I ever get the opportunity to do so.

Run down

Got a very nice email from someone who had take an extra steps to connect with me, good check-in instructions. When we got there, we found an open outside door with nobody in sight. No front desk, closed restaurant. Lockbox was placed so high that if my husband weren't with me I would not have been able to access it. Place generally had a deserted feel. It needed quite a bit of fixing up, cracked plaster, banged up old wooden furniture. The room was clean but didn't have outlets accessible to both sides of the bed , and only one bedside lamp. Two small hand towels for shower. Thermostat to control AC unit didn't work because it needed a new battery. AC unit did work manually, though, which was good because the window didn't open. Generally the feeling was that it was run down. But the price was appropriate!

The Grafton Common area was really sweet… We enjoyed walking around and visiting the antique shop around the corner. The checkin was easy… when we found that our key wasn’t where they said it would be, we call the number provided and they quickly rectified the situation. The hotel is needs a lot of love. everything is worn down. the entrance way has steel restaurant shelves cluttering the area. the elevator smells wet, the ceiling in the room is stained with water leaks, the wood work is dirty and chipped, the bathroom has mold growing on the ceiling and the finish on vanity and mirror are peeling off. It was inexpensive for a reason.

NEVER Again!!

In the past, I’ve chosen property due to its location and an adequate night’s stay. The Inn is rundown, has no staff and a “HANDS OFF” management. My recent stay was my LAST one!!! My rm (#6) bathroom had NOT been cleaned AND old shower slider door broken - fell due to being.completely off the track. An extremely unsafe situation! After reporting my concerns to manager, it took over 24hrs for a response which is totally unacceptable!!! This place needs NEW owners who are invested in updating as well as operating this Historic Inn.
