room was under renovation. It is rustic and has older furniture. The bathroom needs alot of updates. The vanity faucet leaks bad, the sliding door for the shower does not slide open. The lady guest had to exit the shower behind the toilet, which is a huge safety issue. The toilet seat needs replacing.

This is a very interesting place to stay. The inn was built in 1805, according to Wikipedia. There are seven rooms on the third floor. The second floor is vacant, and the only thing on the first floor is a barbershop. That was convenient, I booked a needed shave with Erica down there. It’s a separate business, but I was pleased with the service, and Erica was very friendly. I did not see any hotel staff, the only interaction was thorough check-in instructions via text when I booked. There is coffee available in the hallway. The grill has been shut down for two years, from what I gather. I chose to get iced coffee from the Uncommon Cow, a little over minute walk to the north. They have excellent iced coffee, and also had breakfast sandwiches and baked goods ready to go, which I did not try. Overall, wouldn’t here again. I wouldn’t book a romantic getaway.

Disgrace

Arrived mid afternoon and front door, and side door, were locked. Back door was open but the place was in the middle of being redone. It was a construction site. No one was around. Walked upstairs to find one floor that seemed like it may have been open. Approx 10 rooms but I had never received any instructions for my arrival so we had no idea what to do. Called the number the site had posted, and it was out of service. Found a note with a name and number to contact and it was also out of service. While searching for humans, another couple arrived and were doing the same. They also booked on hotels. Whenever renovations are complete, it may be ok, but now it is a bad joke. From no employees, open construction site, and fire extinguishers that were outdated by 3 years ! It’s not only a disgrace it was listed for use, it was also a fire hazard and should be condemned. In the middle of fighting to get my money back. I did get a welcome check in text with instructions BUT at 5:30pm ! Totally messed up our plans and on a Saturday of graduation weekend, scrambling to find a place last minute was not only difficult, it was very expensive and totally out of our way. I have never experienced anything like what we did and hope never will again. Hotels should be ashamed to even have this hotel posted !

We needed a quick room and the price was attractive. I appreciated the text from the property for check in. Easy to get the room key. The stairs and hallway were musty and dated. The room was a clean and spacious. The beds were comfortable, Had to open the windows because very hot on the top floor. The streets were loud and noisy which was kind of surprise. I knew the area but it appeared more desolate than I remembered. Of note the outer door is open and the rooms are accessible to anyone. All of the keys are available in the one lock box. The property was as expected. There is no staff at the property.

There is no front desk. There is no security. The exterior door that leads to the rooms is open all night and there is nothing to stop an intruder other than the door to the room itself. No one picks up the phone at the published phone number. If you have a problem, there's no one to speak to. Stay away from this place.

We arrived before the 10pm time and no one was on property which I heard was common. Also the building is basically a back door that has an elevator that goes up. The downstairs is all under construction vs. abandoned. Another group did not get the same text we had about how to get a key and couldn’t contact management about how to get a key. We went up to our room, it was very stuffy so difficulty breathing. After an hour we left because I couldn’t breathe and the front door doesn’t lock so anyone can come off the street and there were actually 4 kids running in the hall looking for a bathroom. Anyone can enter from outside at any time. Also if you know the trick to get a key… anyone can get any key at any time. I texted them to say we were leaving and why. Haven’t received a response. I would NOT recommend. It seems like they are trying to be something that could be quirky, cool if more was done but comes off as unsettling and safety also a concern.

I don’t usually do negative reviews but with this property having a 7.8 out of 10 rating I really feel I need to do this. First, when we arrived it was 78° outside 84 in our room and the air-conditioning did not work then I discovered That we only had one towel and one hand towel. I texted whoever was in charge asking for more towels and they didn’t even respond there was black mold in the shower stall ceiling. The place was generally not clean and beat up. It is on a busy street that was noisy, has train tracks right outside, and a church across the street that rings its bell every hour. They had a coffee station, but no creamer.

The Grafton Inn is a quiet, no-fills, self- serve place to stay. For us , it’s a perfect dog friendly kinda funky respite while we visit family in the area. There’s even a little hiking path across the street behind the library.

It was very cool staying in such a historic building! That plus the price and convenience made us not mind the under-construction feel. We wanted a comfortable place to spend a night that wouldn’t break the bank, and it delivered. Had we wanted a 5-star experience, we would have stayed somewhere else.

This property has so much potential if the owner(s) would just put some money into it. Refurbish and paint the rooms, fix the air and the plumbing, invest in some furniture. This building has so much history it should be exploited. And finish the restaurant, it would be a gold mine.

No sleep

NOT RECOMMENDED. The local bell tower next to the inn goes off every hour all night long. Do not expect to sleep. It is also not staffed and the building looks abandoned. The rooms are on the 3rd floor. No check in instructions were sent. I had to call the inn and got someone to tell me where to find the lock box. Very creepy for a solo traveler. No info inside the room & it seemed as no one else was checked in. At least there was heat & a comfy bed. Definitely not worth the price.

Beautiful historic village. Interesting historic house. Misleading description as the Grille & Tap section was not only closed but we faced the demolition, piled about, through the glass door to the Grille, as we entered the Inn. The room was clean, bedding, towels but there was no soap, and no response to the messages to the property owners via Expedia. There was a closet but no hangers, there was no chair. What was very physically excrutiating, was that the heat in the room was up to 84 degrees and the thermostat was ineffective. There was no person on the premisis that we were made aware of, that represented the Inn. Basically there was no service, no changing of bedding or towels etc on a daily basis. I have experienced more service and positive attention from some shady last-chance motels. Shame, since the town, the structure itself has such a place in antiquity. Seems unfair to advertise and charge if the owners were not attending to the guests and property, and upfront about the true condition of the Inn. Lovely town, great historic site so I hope that the current conditions change, but unfortunately I was a classic victim of false advertising and very uncomfortable living conditions. I suggest conditions are verified before you book, but after this dismal experience, Saturday March 22-24, 2025, I cannot recommend Hunters Grille and Tap at The Grafton Inn
