    The restaurant was charming for lunch, I tried tasty dishes. the bathroom was clean, with a shower, a hairdryer, and bath sheets. Its location just a short stroll away from Essex Baptist Church was absolutely perfect.

    I had the most incredible stay at The Griswold Inn in Essex! The staff went above and beyond to accommodate my requests, even moving me to a more spacious room with two comfortable chairs for reading. The room was bright, clean, and quiet, creating a peaceful environment. I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food at the tavern, especially the mouthwatering potato pancakes. The historical charm of the inn made me feel like I had traveled back in time. I highly recommend this hotel for its exceptional service and unforgettable experience.

    We stayed at the charming Inn during the holiday season and it was absolutely delightful! The location was perfect, right in the heart of the town, allowing us to explore all the shops and restaurants within walking distance. The historic property had a festive Christmas decor, making it a beautiful backdrop for photos. The continental breakfast was great and the staff was genuinely friendly and helpful. The bathroom, A/C, and the bed were all top-notch, surpassing the standards of newer hotels. our stay at the Griswold Inn was a wonderful experience.

    Would be happy to recommend this hotel.
