Clean and well-appropriated.

Impeccable taste in decor. Attention to detail in service and amenities. Our one concern— our room had a claw foot tub, but no access to soap or body wash. All other details, even including cork screw and champagne stopper in the room— were outstanding.

When me and my partner viewed this place and read reviews we thought that this was going to be an enjoyable experience, but we were mistaken. As soon as we arrived our staff greeted us with a “special” way to open the door. Following them upstairs we noticed that the floors were creaking. I opened the bathroom that is located in the hallway and the door was old as well. The walls were very thin and honestly we didn’t feel comfortable. I called to tell them about our situation and that we wanted to cancel. I told them about the doors which the manager mentioned that “ in over 6 years no one complains about that”. I guess I’m no one. I asked how we go about getting a refund because it wasn’t what we were hoping for and she said no refund!!! She was very rude and then hung up. We told the staff that greeted us that we were leaving and she mentioned that she was going to talk with management if there’s anything that can be done. If you are someone who likes their privacy, I recommend you stay away from here. Or anyone in general who doesn’t want to stay with bad management!

Lovely clean place to stay and friendly accommodating staff! The fireplace and access to water/wine/teas/coffee was such a nice touch and made for a cozy and relaxing night. I stayed in the Sankaty Head room and the only complaints are this room is next to the front door so you will hear people coming/going and I found the mattress very lumpy and uncomfortable. Hearing the guest traffic outside my door was honestly manageable but the uncomfortable bed made for a sleepless night. I will definitely be back but will be booking one of the rooms that cite comfortable beds in the review.

Sweet Bed & Breakfast

Lovely Inn that's actually a Bed & Breakfast! The service was fantastic- from the Emily at check in to the hostess at breakfast. They were delightful. The location is great - not in the middle of Main St where the foot traffic is, but super close to walk to everything on Main St.

We absolutely loved this stay! The room was spacious with cozy vibes and the seating area right outside our room would be perfect for a nice day! Would definitely stay again. Plus the breakfast in bed was a perfect start to our morning!
