The Woodstock Inn & Resort

Disappointing, and I will not go back. I also would not recommend it. There are some positives, including most of the staff, but the bartenders at the Red Rooster -- looking at you, Sam, even if you don't look back -- need some basic courses on customer service. Acknowledging their existence when they sit three feet away would be a start. I went to the bar at the end of the lunch service on a Sunday, not particularly busy and was ignored for an extended period. I walked out. So, some of the staff are unbelievably rude and unprofessional. The rest of the experience was ok.

The Woodstock inn is a nice property, but I recently stayed in a room on the 3rd floor, that I believe was over the kitchen. Unfortunatley, the smell of food cooking permeated the room. For $750.00 per night, I didn't expect that. Told the Manager, and he was very glad I told him, since he said he might be a larger problem with the ventilation. Didn't really offer any solutions, or compensation. Was disappointed. The food at Richardson's Tavern is fair and overpriced. The menu is very limited. I know they could do better, but I think they are just concerned with bringing in money, rather than making the guests want to come back! The Spa is also very pricy, they add a 25% fee on top of the fee for the service, then a 17% tip is added. That's just too much. They need to focus on the experience, rather than just ranking in the money.

The Woodstock Inn never disappoints! From the Valets (who have all been there for years) and who always warmly greet you when you arrive to the desk clerks, housekeepers, waitstaff and all others associated with the Inn, the experience is simply spectacular. We always visit in October--the Inn's landscape is tremendous--pumpkins, mums, cornstalks--all add to the natural beauty of the color of the changing leaves all around the Inn. The rooms are so cozy and relaxing--beds are the BEST, great comfy chairs in the rooms, all the amenities you could possibly need are provided in the bathroom--including luxurious soap and hair products. It is a wonderful way to spend a night or a week. It's always hard to leave--but we immediately begin look forward to our next visit....

Hubby and I stayed three nights to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Our room was lovely and the grounds and common areas are beautiful. The hotel had a gift and a card for us, a very nice touch. We loved the bar at the Red Rooster and also managed to get in one night for a good dinner at the Tavern which was always packed. Service was nice. You can’t beat the location. I loved the early morning coffee offered at Red Rooster. The only real complaint is the bathroom toilet seat was plastic and for these prices the hotel should provide a real toilet seat.

We liked the place and how it felt. We had a nice room and got to play Keegan Bradley's home course as a kid. They could not have been any friendlier at the golf course. And they could not have been any friendlier at the hotel. You are a bit captive for evening food when we went. They roll up the sidewalks off-season at about 5ish so you have to go get your extra's early. However, the food at the Inn was really well done. We have been all over the place in New England and this (BTW, blew away the food at the Chatham Bars i.e. best in the USA? Really?) was very good dinner and breakfast. We liked it a lot. (I am picky, very picky) Of all the places we have been to in NE, we put this at the top tier. I am a person who once had 60 rooms at the Mt Washington and 50 rooms at the Samoset and the Sagamore so we have been around.
