Charming, older inn with lots of character. We liked the unique character and the central location. The only nuisance was that the power to the A/C was on the same circuit as the overhead light. So either no A/C at night or we would have to sleep with the lights on. Something an extension cord could readily fix!

While brandon is a quaint small town in Vermont we totally enjoyed our time at the Brandon Inn established in 1786. It was an elegant stay like going back in time.

No one at front desk ever. Our codes to get into our rooms were left on the reception desk for anyone to see. Rooms old and dated (i.e. furniture from 1950s). No shower in our room - only a handheld sprayer from the hot tub which would spit water. A bizarre property.

Hi James,I apologize for the inconveniences you faced. We appreciate your feedback! We do try & and have someone at the desk at all times although sometimes we are unable to. The shower/tub situation can be very tricky especially when booking online. I'm unsure if you had spoken to the front desk about the shower but we are always happy to switch you into a room more comfortable for you, if we have the availability! We hope you come back sometime, and we give you a more positive experience!

It was a wonderful historic Inn and the public spaces were pleasant. The staff were seldom available and there were several issues with the facility. Bedside lamps were not functional nor were the radiators. There was a space heater which helped. These are the price to pay for a stay in an old building so I guess it was a trade off.

Old historic Inn, room was comfortable and clean, but no shower, just a huge jacuzzi tub in our room. Enjoyed my stay, but the grab and go breakfast area was poorly maintained, maybe due to staffing shortages. Every time we went to get a glass of water in the lobby the decanter was almost empty or completely empty. At 7:30 in the morning I and another guest were vying for the only two Kcups available. No one was around to help us locate more. Nice place to stay, but would recommend leaving the premises for food. There were good options within walking distance.

I would think twice
To start, this hotel was built at the same time when America was developing. Despite the age, is was clean! The room was cold, no thermostat was found. We were given portable heater that didn’t last, it broke down sometimes during the night. Worked up to a cold room again (we stayed in February). But we had hot water in the shower. In summary, for $130 room in a small town not bad.

I loved the historic inn. The room was huge and comfortable. I loved how the inn and room was decorated. It took a little while to get hot water to the 3rd floor. I wish the cafe opened at 7 A.M. we ended up going next door to a diner because they were open early.

The hotel's ambiance is very nice, if you like 1930s style, we do, it was very clean as well. Staff was nice when you saw them, which was very little. Issues: we stayed in the winter, all radiators on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors are off. Only the 1st floor entrance are they on. If you can find someone, they will provide a space heater, unfortunately we needed another for the bathroom, which as you can image the bathroom is very cold in the morning. Additional towels were hard to find as well. The free nreakfast is really just some coffee. Beautiful building, I hope they can make it.

Interesting Stay
I was going to a hockey game in Middlebury and decided to stay overnight somewhat nearby. I checked-in before the game. The lights where going on and off in the lobby. The lady who checked me in said they had some fuses blow and are working on it. We still took the elevator to the fourth floor and she showed me how the code lock system worked. I had trouble locking it, and was kind of in a hurry to get to the game. She went up and locked the door. When I got back from the game around 7:30. They were still having electrical issues. However, now the boiler was involved and there was no heat. The same person who checked me in, told me I could get a refund, or stay for half off. I took my chances and maybe 30-45 minutes or so, the heat did come back on and the power that was going off and on briefly stayed on. The hotel is a neat old gem. It has a big drawing room and function room that was probably an old ballroom. It has a lot of character. My room and the the hotel in general were clean. So, I'm glad I took the gamble, and it paid off!

Cozy room, nice and warm, comfortable bed, great shower. Quaint Inn , no tv or phone or refrigerator, which was fine. Continental breakfast offerings were minimal but nice little diner/cafe in building. Also had a bar in the building for guests. It was central to the tiny town with easy walk to food and shopping. Town is beautiful!
