    If you can, give this restaurant a try. The food is made prompt, and the flavors are next level.

    May 1, 2024 : Day Two of my East Coast trip : This was a planned to stay in a haunted room in a haunted old hotel. While the bestie and I didnt get to experience anything spooky, it was an amazing place. I'm currently updating all my reviews. Thank you for your patience and check back soon!

    This is a historical fixture in the town of Concord, serving as a hotel since the late 1800s. The location is perfect for visiting Main Street and the town center after passing by the town green. A two minute walk takes you to the Concord Visitor Center where you can take a tour, rent a bike, or just grab some brochures. Their water refilling station was not working. So many other areas of interest are easily accessible and close (walking, driving, biking), so location wise, this deserves a high rating. The Inn has "old" and "new" rooms, as there have been additions made over its long history. Our room, 310, was in the newer section. The room was clean and most adequate, same for bathroom. The bed was quite comfortable, all was clean and we loved that the windows actually opened to let some fresh air circulate. No microwave or mini fridge. The Inn itself is maze like and confusing. There are no elevators. The staff was ok but did not seem enthusiastic or knowledgeable about much, overwhelmed with the simplest questions. Both check in and check out seemed to take way more time than it should. There is a parking lot behind the inn, but the spaces are extremely tight and hard to find. It's packed. We visited in November so I cannot imagine summertime. Picturing mayhem. Someone dinged my year old car opening their door carelessly. Ugh!!!!! Frustrating. There is on street parking but not for overnight. Restaurant on site. No warm and fuzzy for us, but was the best priced place in the area. Not horrible but not great.

    Our tour guide recommended the colonial inn for lunch and it did not disappoint. We arrived at 12:48 on a Friday and they were busy. We decided to eat outside on the porch of this old inn and it was beautiful. My husband got the baked scrod and it was light and delicious. I got the chicken pot pie and it was so good. Flaky crust, chunks of chicken and just a few veggies. It came with a small cup of cranberry cocktail, mashed potatoes and squash. The squash tasted like it had brown sugar and cinnamon in it. Before the meal, they also brought some rolls and some delicious cornbread with very cold delicious butter. Our server was Kim and she was great. Before tip it was $54.57.

    Our service was amazing. We loved being in the low light tavern area... Our food was delicious, and we loved learning about the history of the inn.

    We had dinner here after attending the reenactments at Minute Man National Historic Park. The ambience at the Colonial Inn was a fitting end to our day. We felt transported to another time. I had the pesto flatbread which was tasty.

    One of the most picturesque little Colonial town squares in Massachusetts, you'll find (the front of) Concord Inn to be an upscale version of what Colonial patriots were used to in the 1770's. Sit outside for lunch and soak in the history. There are no reservations for outdoor dining on the porch and walk-ins are often turned away on busy summer and autumn weekends, so book a table inside in advance and ask them to make a note you prefer the porch. Not sure why they don't do outside reservations. You can also eat in the inside restaurant, which is nice but feels a bit strange, like eating in a Victorian grandmother's house. One of our favorite spots is the tavern, which is very rustic ... lots of dark wood and brass. Almost like eating in an old barn with a warm fireplace. Not quite as nice as outside porch seating on a sunny day. Even during colder weather, they have heaters outside which make the outdoor dining comfortable. I am taking off one star for the chaotic reservation system and the often slow service. The food here is good ... you'll find antique New England staples, like Chicken Pot Pie (technically theirs is chicken and vegetables in gravy in a casserole dish with a flaky pastry topping, not a pie), Yankee Pot Roast (tender crock-pot style sliced beef in a beef gravy) and Indian Pudding with vanilla ice cream. Their creamy clam chowder is a-ok for those who don't mind a little bacon in their chowder. There are more modern dishes with avocado, fancy salads, fish and chips and even a reuben sandwich and poutine. Our favorite is the bacon blue cheese burger ... this is a fantastic no-frills cheeseburger but it is done perfectly. If you take one thing away from this review, make it this ... UPGRADE TO THE TRUFFLE FRIES! These are some of the best truffle fries I've had. They are tossed in a coating of truffle flavored cheese. Hard to describe but you'll be amazed! Overall, the restaurant is a staple for us during the summer and especially the fall months. There's no place like the front porch or outer court yard to swat away yellow jackets and take in the movie set-like atmosphere of New England. We have not stayed in the Inn but the old colonial part of the inn doesn't have many rooms. There is an ugly brick annex building, built in the 1970's attached ... this is likely why so many bad reviews appear. I too would be pissed if I was expecting to stay in a 1770's Inn and was put in a small room in an attached building that looks like a college dorm from the 70's.

    Fish and chips

    Great place for outdoor dining when in Concord. Was surprised at how few restaurants there are in the town center. Had a nice lunch or fish and chips (nice piece of cod that was lightly battered). A few good beers on tap helped for a great meal. Ended up returning later for dinner with my wife. Ordered the chicken pot pie, which was very good. Loved the sides of mashed and squash. Not sure if that's their thing here or a New England thing (sides) bc pot pies are sold complete down Philly way. This was like thanksgiving! Super friendly service at both meals.

Off of Route 2A on Lexington Road in the heart of Minutemen country, I arrived at the Hawthorne Inn, my favorite bed and breakfast in Concord, Massachusetts. The owner of the inn, Marilyn, greeted me at the entrance and showed me to my room. The inn is furnished with furniture, art, and artifacts that are representative of colonial New England of the 19th Century with other kinds of art, such as Japanese ukiyo-e prints, Haitian voodoo masks, and 17th Century Persian helmets, scattered about here and there. Walking into my room, I noticed a cat on the 4 poster bed in my room. She was friendly and didn't seem to mind me hanging out with her. http://static.px.yelp.com/photo/gsDWbndD_Nix9s_MOTuYYQ/l The room had teal wallpaper, lots of folk art, a love seat near the roll away desk, and a rattan reading chair by the bed. It was very comfortable, very cozy. I hung out in my room with the cat for a while before going out to downtown Concord for dinner. After dinner I sat in the sitting room downstairs where the fireplace was blazing and I met some of the other guests in the inn. We talked some more in the morning when we ate breakfast in the communal dining room together. Breakfast included your choice of coffee, tea, muffins and other baked goods, a seasonal fruit plate, yogurt, or granola. Rooms at the inn range from $125 - $325 per night depending on the season. After breakfast, I went into downtown Concord to look for an essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance, which I found in a book in my room. In the essay Emerson emphasizes the importance of avoiding conformity and trusting in our own ideas and instincts: "Trust thyself, every heart vibrates to that iron string...." This spirit of individuality and the belief that there is no problem that we can't handle if we apply ourselves to the solution is what attracts me to New England, to Concord, to the Hawthorne Inn. There's a sense of history there where our country was essentially founded, a creative energy burns there also where so many creative thinkers and writers lived. Walden Pond, the Minutemen Park, the old North Bridge where the "first shot heard round the world" was fired are all in Concord. It's worth visiting to remember that "Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles."

My plan was to return brush my teeth and shower gather my remaining belongings and go home. However, when I return to my room, in spite of the hangtag, my room have been cleaned my electric toothbrush, the items in the refrigerator and a few other things were gone. It was close to departure time, but enough time to accomplish that. I went downstairs to the checkout desk and waited for a manager to come from another area at that point I explained the circumstances. She contacted the person in charge of Housekeeping. Apparently she told me when it looks like the person is gone. Housekeeping goes in and does cleaning early in spite of the hangtag which is your way of assuring privacy. At least I thought that was the way Hampton in worked Housekeeping manager was able to find the person who had cleaned the unit. Happily all items were returned in about 15 minutes time and nothing was missing unfortunately nothing that had critical information. Because I was so delayed, I arrived too late to join my girlfriend for a planned luncheon. In the past, I thought Hampton inn were reliable. I would like some kind of compensation and would like to be sure that this review is posted so that other travelers are aware of this Hampton practice of violating privacy, even when adequate notification is given.
