Afton House Inn

Outdated, didn't mention there are "quiet hours" times when you can't use the hot tub and TV has to be low...

Very cute, clean, and charming! Peggy was so friendly and welcoming!

Charming, historic inn that could use some updating. The staff was friendly and the complimentary breakfast was good. We got one of the bigger rooms and the jetted tub was nice. Sometimes there’s a curfew so be aware of that. However, my big downside is the older crowd that the inn restaurant draws. I work with people and I’m a friendly people person in general. It was clear that my presence as a younger queer person made them uncomfortable- they constantly gawked at me whenever I left my room, they were disrespectful, and even when I politely held the door for them they ignored me. The inn itself and staff were lovely - it’s a shame that their customers are not.

I love the historic aspect of it, and Peggy was amazing with her fine dining experience and told us the history of the Afton historical in. Everyone was so happy and wonderful, and the rooms were very clean. They really know how to make cocktails in the bar and they have a wide variety of wines at swirl. The food was amazing not that much attention to the morning breakfast we had to get our own stuff like coffee cups and silverware and dishes. They weren’t so great at replenishing breakfast but that’s OK. The rest of the state made it more than worthwhile and the views are beautiful of the marina and Saint Croix river and your Jean at the front desk is amazing at up selling, so that’s awesome, she gave us so many ideas of things to do in the area as we came down for the strawberry festival, but weren’t as many strawberry things as I anticipated with the vendors should be more strawberry things. It is a great place to go and relax and unwind, and be together .

This hotel is good for people who don't have health isssues. My husband is handicapped and really shouldn't be doing stairs. When we asked to be moved downstairs we were told there would be another $96 charge to do that. The watwr smelled and tasted like well water and the purified water cost $3 each. It was just not economical for us.

Picturesque view of the river and smaller than small town feel.

Room 26 had very poor water pressure for both sink and shower

Under staffed. Had to wait awhile to check in, and forever at the restaurant. Place was clean, but not worth the cost.

The suite room we were upgraded to was real nice, the staff was very accommodating. The only thing lacking in my Opinion was the complementary breakfast. All else was great!

I liked the overall property. It’s a quaint old house with two restaurants conveniently linked, and jetted tubs in many rooms. Great location, friendly staff, very good breakfast. What I liked less was the condition of the room. The bed was uncomfortable, the pillows were lumpy, and the lighting was weird. My room only had two light options: the switch by the door, most of which were industrial lights that were focused on the ceiling, and the bathroom light, which was behind the door (hard to find) and ran the fan. There was no reading light that could be reached from the bed, and only one lamp to give off mellow light. The room was just kind of tired. There is a difference between historical charm and worn out, and this was more the latter. Tired linens, tired curtains, tired towels. Finally, double-check the price on Expedia vs. the hotel’s site. I did not do so and got overcharged by Expedia as a result.
