The Monadnock Inn

There was no one at the property to let me in.

We stayed here in 2009 and were returning to the area again, was expecting a full bar and restaurant. Website said breakfast not being served, but nothing about no bar or restaurant. When we arrived nobody there, had to call a phone number. Looked around saw that the grass hadn't been mowed in a few weeks, paint peeling off the outside shingles, overgrowth hanging from the gutters...Carpets looked like they hadn't been cleaned since we were there in 2009. Totally changed. Yes, I was aware of their cancellation policy and being charged, however not having any person to person contact and the way the place looked and not having the restaurant and bar (which was not advertised in their website, only the breakfast notice) we decided to look elsewhere...a few days later my CC was charged for the full amount of the cancelled stay. So I don't recommend this once charming inn as a nice place to stay.

The name placard outside of this run-down dilapidated building should read "Bates Motel". My husband and I booked a room for a family event, upon arrival we both thought the GPS directions were pranking us. The paint was peeling, the grass was overgrown, the porch was filled with a variety of garage sale items. The parking lot was pitted and unsafe. We went inside and went to the "front desk", a table with an old curtain wrapped around it. The staff person was really untrained for accepting guests, and frankly he was a little, ok a lot creepy. He gave us a key and showed us to our room. The room, bathroom and chairs were not dirty, they were filthy. Fortunately, we were dressed for the event and not in need of a shower. During the car ride back we spoke as to whether or not we could actually sleep there. 9:30 at night, we were going to try. We met another couple outside who said they were in the same situation however their drive was 7 hours versus 2.5 for us. Walking back into the building we were met by terrible retching from a nearby room, and the staff person started following us around.......very uncomfortable. We decided to get our things and leave. We are grateful we did. I will be asking for a full refund and reporting this establishment to the consumer protection agency in New Hampshire. Something is definitely wrong with the Bates Motel.

Wonderful place.

For a bed-and-breakfast don’t expect any breakfast. This place is barely an inn. Don’t expect hot water it only gets warm, most rooms have no TV, housekeeping doesn’t exist. This place is in complete this repair. It does have a bar but oops it’s closed. We also have a non-functioning kitchen. Do yourself a favor stay elsewhere. PS the ratings are a big lie. Most reviews are terrible. It should be rated a one or two.

Very nice an cozy place, highly recommended.

The mattress was awful! The room tiny. The bathroom didn’t have a shower which wasn’t in the room description, just a tub which wouldn’t drain and had a dripping faucet that dripped all night long. The sink had no hot water. We were on the 3rd floor and there were no other people on site. At check in we were told the dining room was closed and breakfast was “off site” whatever that means. At night, I could hear the mice in the walls. Do not recommend at all!

They are no longer providing breakfast. While this statement exists on their website, it was buried several clicks deep and it was not readily apparent to us while booking. Also, the beds in the room were very uncomfortable.

It is a novel and charming experience to stay in an old country inn. This hotel fit the description exactly. Creaky floors and doors add character to the place and to the experience. The proprietors take good care of you, and add to the enjoyment of a retreat from the fast pace of the contemporary world.
