"Great piece of history"

Such an historic inn, the staff were friendly, helpful, knowledgeable. The wine bar wasn’t open the days were visited, which was a disappointment, but that means we will be back.

There was no breakfast included. The location was great, right in the middle of town, close to many shops. The room was clean and comfortable.

The value for the money was lacking. No fridge, no TV, no breakfast and only a double bed. For half of the amount I paid I could have gotten all of those things, but my wife wanted to sleep at "The Griswold Inn" because of it's history.
