The hostess informed me upon check in that the dining room and bar were closed due to lack of staff. Okay, but it's Saturday! Luckily I had eaten at the party so I decided to use the pool.It was a bit of a walk to get to the pool.One needs to leave the front of the hotel and through the parking lot, following a path to the pool.Apparently, there is no way to access the pool without making this journey.It's okay during the summer but limits use in winter.Inside the pool one other family informed me that the hot tub wasn't very hot.I tried it for myself and it was lukewarm.At least the jets worked.The ladies room is lacking safety mats and doesn't have a specified changing room, just two toilets.There was a door with no door knob and when I opened it saw what is apparently a spa.As it was closed and dark I closed the door.As I entered the pool area there were tools just laying around.For 300 a night, one expects a higher quality experience. The room itself didn't have any info. about the area and didn't have a welcoming vibe.There should be a safety mat in the bathroom. In the morning I was hoping for the advertised breakfast.Upon entering the breakfast area I saw a bunch of appliances lined up but hardly any food to eat.There wasn't even a coffee station.There was a sad small Keurig maker.All they offered was cold cereal, stale tiny croissants, fruit that looked sad, grapes still in their package...not even cleaned or presented.In the fridge there was just milk.No juice! The other family that came in with kids told their mom they were hungry and asked"where is the food?" They left.I ate a stale croissant, and drank a Keurig coffee and left hungry.I've stayed at hotels all across the country and have never seen such a disgraceful display.If you're going to charge 300 a night then make an effort! Sincerely, Maryjane Schram

I rarely write reviews this detailed, but after more than a month of trying to resolve this…read moredirectly with management, I feel other guests deserve to know about our experience. On April 5, 2026, three friends and I booked our annual Mother's Day getaway at Chateau Merrimack. We weren't first-time guests. We had stayed here in 2025 and had a wonderful experience, and I had also stayed at the property several times before the ownership change. We genuinely loved staying here, recommended the hotel to family and friends, and expected this to become an annual tradition. Unfortunately, that tradition ended on May 30, 2026. Before our stay, we discovered through OpenTable that the restaurant was listed as permanently closed, even though the Chateau Merrimack website still displayed the restaurant menu as if it were open. While disappointing, we adjusted our plans and decided to keep our reservation. When we arrived to check in on May 30, we were then informed that the pool was closed and the elevators were also out of service. The elevator closure itself was not a deciding factor for us. The pool, however, absolutely was. We had thoroughly enjoyed using it during our previous stay, and it was one of the primary reasons we chose to return to Chateau Merrimack. Along with the restaurant and other amenities, it was part of the experience we believed we were booking. When we questioned why this information hadn't been clearly communicated, we were shown that the pool closure was mentioned only at the very end of the online booking process, immediately before entering payment information. That is not meaningful transparency, and that notice was not present when we made our reservation on April 5. If one of your property's primary amenities is unavailable, guests deserve to know that before deciding to book--not after they've already arrived. While trying to understand what had happened, my friend also discovered that our exact room type for that same night was being advertised for substantially less than what we had originally paid. That only added to our frustration. I want to be very clear that the front desk employee was kind, professional, and empathetic throughout the interaction. My disappointment is not with him. It is entirely with management and how this situation was handled. Because the stay we booked was no longer the experience we expected, we canceled our reservation and found another hotel. We were told there would be a $50 cancellation fee, but we were ultimately charged $53.13. Rather than immediately posting a negative review, I made every effort to resolve this privately. - May 31: I sent a detailed, respectful email to management explaining my concerns and requesting that the cancellation fee be refunded. - June 4: After receiving no response, I sent a follow-up email. - June 5: The manager replied, stating my original email had gone to her spam folder. While I appreciated finally receiving a response, it was dismissive and focused solely on company policy rather than addressing the lack of transparency or acknowledging our concerns. - June 6: I replied, hoping we could continue the conversation and reach a fair resolution. - June 13: After another week of silence, I sent one final follow-up, even asking if perhaps my response had also ended up in her spam folder. Today is July 6, 2026. I have still never received another response. I am still out $53.13, but more disappointing than the money is the complete lack of communication. Management had multiple opportunities over the course of five weeks to acknowledge our concerns and make this right. Instead, they simply stopped responding. This review isn't really about $53.13. It's about transparency, accountability, and customer service. Hotels undergo renovations, amenities close, and unexpected situations happen. Most guests understand that. What matters is being upfront before people book and treating loyal, returning customers fairly when concerns are raised. What should have been a relaxing annual getaway with friends became a stressful experience that ended with us scrambling to find another hotel. Even more disappointing is that after giving management multiple opportunities to resolve the matter privately, it ultimately ended with silence. Sadly, because of this experience, I can no longer recommend Chateau Merrimack. If you choose to stay here, I strongly encourage you to verify that the amenities that are important to you are actually available before booking.

It was so good, we did 2 rounds of this. Definitely will be back to try more drinks. The live music was also amazing. Very talented musician-- played a lot of Grateful Dead, and even Alice's Restaurant. The vibe is very chill, while also warm and welcoming.

Five Star Food And Service At The Village Inn!…read more We decided to check out The Village Inn in Dracut MA seeing so many posts that people enjoyed it. It was 4 pm on a Saturday and the place was very busy. We thought we were going early. There was one booth left.... 4 is not early at this place. Sat down and server Charlie came right over to take out drinks order. He came back shortly after with water, the drinks and a basket of 2 crusty rolls that were right out of the oven with a generous amount of butter. You didn't have to ask for bread like at a lot of establishments, or have them say no, we don't have any bread like you see everywhere today. I decided to order the Baked Seafood Platter $26.99! I wanted to try the scallops, fish and baked stuffed shrimp, so what better way than to get a little of each? I was a little skeptical.. lately I have been getting horrible wet scallops that are treated with chemicals. Thought for sure it was going to be another disappointment with the Scallops, but I figured I had the other two items so why not go for it? I got a baked potato and carrots as well. All came on a plate with delicious looking buttery cracker crumb topping. I gotta tell you my first bite was a scallop. The look on my face told it all! I couldn't believe how sweet and delicious those scallops were! They were delicious, and I mean delicious! The fish was fresh (not frozen or old) and delicious as well. The shrimp were smaller ones but also delicious. The baked potato was cooked perfectly and the carrots were fresh and perfectly cooked and seemed to have a hint of maple syrup in them. A lot of places you get carrots and they are either frozen or raw. Not here. My husband decided to try the Prime Rib. He said he called to check and see if they had Prime Rib the night we were going, and a guy told him they have it every night. He got the smaller 16 oz piece for $31.99. Turns out it was super tender, cooked perfectly, the aujus was the real deal and not salty canned beef broth. He also got baked potato and onion rings ($1.49 upcharge). We loved the onion rings as well. Thin slices of onion perfectly fried. He said the 16 oz was more than enough and ate it all. This place is a hidden gem. A lot of comments mention it being dated, etc. It is clean and pleasant. I go to a restaurant for delicious food hopefully at a very reasonable price. The Village Inn fits that bill. Couldn't believe how good the food was and the prices they charge very resonable! When were leaving there people waiting all over the place. Good thing we didn't go later, we may have not waited. Now that we know how good it is, we would wait. There menu is a vast assortment, something for everyone. Our server Charlie was AWESOME!!! Very attentive and knowledgeable. When we mentioned how delicious everything was, he was so happy and said he would let his family know. He also said to try the steak tips they are very good. I have read that their tip are delicious. Finally, we touched on a restaurant that satisfies all points of going out to eat at a restaurant. Food: delicious, Service: excellent, Price: Very reasonable, and loads of parking!

The bartender seemed to forget about us, so I went to get a drink refill as I had an empty glass for 10 minutes. The food was better than I was expecting (for a bar/tavern).
