Hamilton-Turner Inn

I was hoping that the reviews that said the Inn was not up to prior standards were wrong but, sadly, we found the same thing. Our first visit several years ago was wonderful. This time we found that everything from the welcome to the food to the housekeeping was a little tired and uninspired. The breakfasts were especially disappointing--very ordinary. On a positive note or breakfast waiter was the highlight of the visit.

The Inn is lovely. We enjoyed the location and the stunning interior and exterior of the building. Our room was small but I did not mind. We were on the third floor and liked the exercise but you should know that's a lot of steps with luggage. The Christmas tree was stunning. Best part was the wonderful breakfast and great service. Every morning was something different.

The staff were very personable and amazing. They made our vacation a wonderful experience! We really liked the extras: hors d'oeuvre + wine hour, cookies with port plus an amazing breakfast in the morning. We also used the bicycles to tour the city. Great location as well!

My husband I just returned from a four-night stay in the Earl of Chatham, room, 401. First the positives: excellent location, very walkable; beautiful old home; great staff—friendly and helpful; delicious breakfasts; clean. Now the reason for only a 3/average rating: the room. The sitting area is not cohesive in style and gives an impression that is less than you would expect for the price. Felt kind of tired. The bathroom, while spacious, also needs some freshening. We would return, but we would not select this room again.

Second time we've stayed and the experience was extraordinary. Don't want to dwell on one thing but the only thing that was subpar was breakfast. Smallish portions, very little fruit and bizarre policy of not serving one guest if the spouse is not seated. I run in the mornings and my wife told the woman there but she said she needed to wait for me to get back even though it wasn't clear when that would be. And then the policy of sharing the hot water for tea. Crazy .Really strange when we were paying hundreds of dollars a night. And how about a little fruit. Can they afford that? Anyway 99% of the rest was great.
