    Lovely old fashioned inn
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Deluxe Queen Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    This isn't a deal-breaker, but I have so spoilt by key cards that I was not very comfortable with the old fashioned keys to the rooms!

    The gentleman at the check-in counter was lovely - he was polite, welcoming, and provided all the information I needed for checking in and checking out. He also helped me put in a reservation for dining at the inn's restaurant the same evening I checked in. The lobby/reception area is charming and very comfortable. I particularly liked the rocking chairs where I could just sit with a drink and chill. My room is beautifully decorated in the old New England style, and very comfortable.

    The food was a big disappointment. Getting to the room was a challenge and was risky business after dark. Unpaved walkways with no illumination made this routine task a little difficult

    The hotel has historic significance and the location was a factor in our selection

    Food was disappointing and expensive. The walk from the hotel to the room over unpaved and un-illuminated paths was unsettling and prone to falls and accidents when dark.

    The Inn is on the Main street. I am a light sleeper and found the street traffic noise disturbing. However, I would definitely stay again and ask for an inside room.

    The Inn is wonderful. Beautiful furnishings. Every inch of the place is filled with antiques. It is like stepping back in time. They even still have telephone booths!

    Carrying our luggage from the back of the back parking lot. It isn't easy when doing so, to find out how to get back into the Inn. The various taxes added to our bill.

    The room was small but comfortable. Breakfast was excellent in the very nice dining room. The old-fashioned atmosphere of the Inn is a welcome change from Marriott, etc.

    Not quite as clean as it was when we were there in 2010. Could use some TLC. Also, although we booked to include our small dog, the staff chastised me for not calling ahead to let them know. Third party billing … he said, with a shake of his head. This was how we were greeted. I felt uncomfortable and worried they’d cancel our reservation. Not a good way to start off our much anticipated holiday. As for dinner … the prime rib was good but very cold. The popover had zero warmth. And at 40.00 dollars a plate I feel it should have been served warm. My husband’s was mostly fat. I still love Red Lion. The rest of the staff was friendly and accommodating, we especially enjoyed the pub and the morning coffee.

    Great location and wonderful history. Hot tub was an unexpected bonus and felt wonderful after a nine hour drive. The bar was fun and the barkeeper was superb!

    The warm water on the faucet never seemed to get warm- even waiting over minute- same for shower, rooms were very warm and trouble regulating temperature- needed to open windows; getting screen down was difficult. Alcohol is very expensive

    Breakfast was delicious, rooms nice size, historic setting, friendly staff, Jane and Jack, dinner at the tavern was delicious. Decor is great, coffee in morning is greatly appreciated. Lovely shops and great location

    II have stayed at the Red Lion Inn many times over the years and enjoyed it very much. It is a very historic New England inn without high room rates that many of them charge. The dinner was very good and in a classic dining room and the tavern was very nice.
