They stated waste as primary reason. But during the cold winter months its always nice to have some coffee and hot cocoa. Breakfast quality and selection. Over the past year and especially after the pandemic the quality of the breakfast has really gone down. No more whip cream for the waffles. No more strawberry sauce. No more toppings. No salsa available. New patrons might not notice. But I've been coming here for the past 15 years so I notice. Rooms themselves are still fine. Maybe getting to be slightly dated but overall still well maintained. They do have to bring some of these things back!

Our room was super charming -- the electric fireplace got a lot of use -- and the bed was extremely comfortable (I'm seven months pregnant and slept better in the bed here than I've been sleeping at home!) I also loved the thoughtful little touches, like the coffee and tea station in the dining room that included homemade cookies and a little bowl of chocolates for guests to dip into in the afternoons/evenings. Breakfast was excellent and came in courses, which was a fun novelty. Also, the elderly black lab in residence is a sweetheart (very unobtrusive and quiet, as befits a hospitality professional, but also a very polite receiver of enthusiastic head-petting for those so inclined). I've been actively recommending the Wainwright Inn to my friends and family, and it completely deserves the five stars on Yelp. (My only tiny criticism: I wish they offered actual shampoo and conditioner, instead of the combination two-in-one stuff, which left my hair pretty fried and hard to untangle. If you have much hair you should definitely bring your own conditioner to avoid my fate!)

All I can say is that I have never never never encountered as nice of a place - and as nice of hosts, than at Granville House. We were lucky enough to score a room here during the 2021 holiday season and we took it without high expectations - but holy snowflake Batman! This place is amazing! And I had the pleasure of meeting both owners and connecting as nice easy going human beings. What a find! Our first night was especially special because we got a size-able snowfall! So I spent quite a bit of time downstairs by the fireplaces, playing billiards, listening to vinyl records, and under the front porch space heaters. Magical is a word I might use but it's inadequate. I think I prefer transcendental. I tend to give emphatic reviews seldom - only when a place really impresses me (or disappoints me).

We also found a bug in our bed the first night and switched rooms. They were less than empathetic. There are also "locals" that stay here for long stretches under some sort of mental or physical welfare situation, so be aware if you choose to stay. There is some operation between this motel and the local law enforcement to put up people in need. There is also NO HOUSEKEEPING SERVICE. they don't service the room while you are staying!!! No fresh linens, no garbage clean up, no sheets changed, nothing. I can't believe that. I hope this place gets knocked down and rebuilt. What a joke. The only nice thing here was the new retro mini fridge. I could buy one of those for a nights stay, though. The new owners should be ashamed of themselves for renting this place in the condition it's in. It's not even fit for paying guests. Also... a 20 inch tv? In 2025? Come on. Barely any outlets in the room. No closets. Only some rooms have suitcase stands. There is also no coffee maker in the room so you can't make coffee, tea, or anything. One of the worst hotels I've ever been to.

There is no longer an inn keeper on-site and as a result the main lobby is inaccessible.

Because let's be honest, looking poor never quite goes out of style. Seriously, regarding the inn, it's proof that peace can be found on a late September evening.

Second, don't believe the photos. Property is not upgraded and in much poorer condition than advertised (especially the rooms). Very old bathroom fixtures, window AC unit kept turning off and on, stains on lamp shade, light scones in bathroom do not work, cracks/stains in wallpaper (see pics). Our room door would not lock with the key they provided. (It would not even lock with the skeleton key the staff member tried). We reported this and were told it would be fixed the same day. When we returned it was not fixed. Ensuring that the room doors can all be locked is a basic safety standard. This was not upheld. Not only that, their staffing levels is also below industry standards. No one is reachable, not by phone, not by presence on the property, not by email. We came in around 9 on our last night for example. The main door to the inn was opened, didn't even have to use the key to enter (is this even safe?). Not one staff person was on site for us to follow up re: door. We were told we would receive a text about the door that morning. We did not. Tried calling and emailing and got no response. We found this very unprofessional and inhospitable. Do not waste your time or money to stay here.

A Community Venue Changed…read more The Egremont Barn, now operating as Buttonball Barn, was once a cornerstone of local music and community gathering. Because of our long-standing connection to the space, my husband and I chose it for our wedding celebration, placing our deposit with the previous owners, who were professional and supportive throughout the process. After the property changed ownership, we still proceeded with our event in October. This celebration held particular significance, as my father was seriously ill at the time, and we were grateful he was able to attend. Unfortunately, our experience with the new ownership raised serious concerns about professionalism, transparency, and respect for both clients and staff. On the day of the event, the owner attempted to impose additional charges not outlined in our contract. This included a demand for a $500 fee for using a room to get ready--a space she had explicitly told me I could use earlier in the day, noting it was acceptable despite the building being under construction. While I was getting ready, she entered the room while my mother and a family friend were assisting me and removed a rug from beneath them, stating that I "wasn't supposed to use the room all day." I chose not to address this at the time in order to preserve the tone of the day. Throughout the event, the owner was also openly drinking at the open bar, which had been paid for by my father. As the night concluded, she insisted that I personally break down the entire venue either immediately or first thing the following morning--despite knowing I had family visiting--or I would be charged for a cleaning crew. This expectation had not been communicated beforehand and was not included in the contract. When I suggested discussing it the next day, she continued to press the issue and confronted my husband, who attempted to redirect the conversation. To avoid further escalation, my friends and I cleaned the venue that night--while I was still in my wedding dress. She later stated that she would retain space heaters I had purchased in exchange for waiving the disputed room fee. When I noted that none of these charges or arrangements were contractually agreed upon, she responded, "I'm expensive, and I'm not in the contract either, honey," in reference to her being casted on The Real Housewives of New York City. Additionally, her conduct toward long-standing staff members--many of whom had supported the venue for years--was concerning and contributed to an atmosphere that felt transactional rather than community-centered. Some of those staff members have since left the venue. What was most troubling was the timing and context. The attempts to extract additional money occurred at the end of a wedding celebration involving a seriously ill parent, placing unnecessary stress on a family during an already significant moment. The Egremont Barn once represented collaboration, music, and mutual respect. Under its current ownership, that spirit appears to have shifted toward aesthetics and revenue at the expense of community and care. I encourage readers to proceed with caution, ask detailed questions, and ensure all expectations are clearly documented in writing before booking events there.
