We really liked the character of this 125 year old hotel. The staff and service were great. The food was excellent at the restaurant. It’s right across the street from train tracks, so it was noisy but that’s not the hotel’s fault. The Jacuzzi tub was awesome! it was nice to get away and relax. The garden was beautiful, and there was even live music!

Very quaint town with local items in local stores. The hotel is small but the rooms were very nice. They have an a very nice patio where they serve quality food and drinks and live music on Friday nights. The hotel staff was very welcoming and always ready to help make you visit a success.

Our room was very comfortable and clean. Windows are old and must be drafty b/c there was tape around each presumably to seal them. The in house restaurant...wow! All of our meals exceeded expectations. The filet mignon was so flavorful - I'm craving it as I write this. The staff are very attentive, nice, and personable, this alone will bring me back to The Thayer.

Historic hotel
Fun to stay at this historic hotel. Unfortunately it was raining while we were there and we didn’t explore the town. The hotel has reasonably priced food and a cozy bar space.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Where to start? My husband spent the first 20 minutes killing flies and Asian beetles that were flying all over the room...yech! And then the hot water pipe made the most awful sound while filling the tub only a few inches. It was just terribly outdated and lacked maintenance in and outside. I wish we would’ve known the Halloween decorations included a headless bride, complete with blood soaked dress and severed head. Not our idea of a quaint small town inn. I would only recommend it if you’re into the whole haunted house motif. We were disappointed.
