Wow what a beautiful place, we had a wonderful experience at your place except for the breakfast. The staff working were so rude and disrespectful especially at that time of the day.

Property is pretty, very quaint and clean. Restaurant is not attached. You either have to drive over or take a nice walk. Depending on the weather, it may not be so nice of a walk. Service was subpar in restaurant and hotel at best. There was a wedding there during our stay so it was quite chaotic. All guest facilities were unattainable because the wedding was using the space. Ridiculous. We were able to use the gym or sit in the lobby area, that was it. Wish I would’ve known that before I booked as there was not much to do. Unfortunately, our room was right above the wedding reception. We listened to & felt the vibration of the DJ till almost midnight. Room was clean, decent size. Dined at the detached restaurant. Did not enjoy the walk over. Restaurant closes early. Our entrées were quite bland. Nothing special. Service was unprofessional. I asked the waiter if I could substitute the vegetable that came with my entrée for a different vegetable, his reply was “I don’t care” When we asked if there was a specific type of condiment at the bar, he laughed and said, “I doubt it.” One cocktail each, 2 appetizers, 4 entrées and a dessert cost $280 w tip. Complementary buffet breakfast included. Nice spread but very small space. Maybe 8 to 10 tables. So if the hotel is full be prepared to stand w your coffee & pastry. Also, breakfast staff not friendly. Asked employee to help w coffee urn, under her breath, she called me stupido. Pretty place at best but don’t think I’d return.

Love the Old Mill Inn but the girl who checked us in was very brisk and unfriendly. The young man on the desk when we left was a delight.

This is not a real guest, he never stayed at our property and the name on his reservation was apparently a joke.His reservation was made with a credit card that does not work.

We are unaware of any issues with hot water as we recently replaced our boilers.If the room was cold our sincerest apologies if there was a heating issue i do hope it was reported to the front desk. Your reservation was for 1/19, however you arrived on the 1/20. You were not charged a no-show, but your unexpected arrival may have put you in a room that was not heated before your arrival.

The Olde Mill Inn is quiet, comfortable, and a lovely place to stay. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. The front desk staff is always nice. I've stayed here several times and would highly recommend it.

This was the noisiest most unrestful experience I’ve had in a hotel. They mixed us amongst wedding guests so our room was sandwiched between drunks yelling in the courtyard and drinks in the hallway. They had to yell at first to hear each other over the dj until 11:30, but after the dj stopped the yelling continued followed by staff vacuuming after the party. The only thing worse is the lack of ability to resolve this issue on the hotel managers side. The hotel tried to say they wanted to honor my booking, but we would have stayed elsewhere if we knew this event would be so loud. They were perfectly aware, but decided to book the room to us and turn around and claim giving us another room at a discounted rate since I got zero sleep the night before was “losing them money”…..$64 to be exact. Nickel and dimming after costing me a night of sleep so they could earn from the wedding. The hotel is nice but they should have figured out a way to cater to both wedding guests and regular guests and stop blaming guests for not knowing your walls are thin, the dj is louder the closer it gets to midnight, the don’t close off the courtyard to drunk wedding guests when the wedding is over so the guests are yelling on both sides of guests doors at midnight and beyond. This is not what guests have in mind even booking a hotel. Please stop pretending this is news

Very good experience. Check in was easy and problem free and the room was clean and comfortable. The air conditioner in the room was not great at staying cold on a hot evening, but I think it may have just needed a new filter. I would stay there again.

Why this place has a rating of 4.5 is unbelievable. The white decorative pillows on the bed had been used prior to our stay and were not clean. The extra white pillow in the closet was also dirty. All of the carpet throughout the facility needs to be replaced as well as all of the plumbing fixtures due to being completely worn out. NO fresh coffee. Coffee out of a machine.

Enjoyable evening. The attached restaurant closed a bit early, which was unfortunate, as some later-night food would have been appreciated. The rooms were comfortable, and quiet.
