The Brewster Inn

The air/heating systems need to be upgraded - noisy. No ceiling fan. Tech charging system needs all types. Room was nice and bath too

Quiet and quaint with an amazing hidden gem of a restaurant

We had a wonderful stay! The facility was very nice; we had clean room, with a comfortable mattress, and all of the staff were terrific. We had a delicious meal at the restaurant Saturday evening. Information for folks considering a stay. Keep in mind this is not a bed and breakfast with homemade breakfast, but rather an Inn, with a full and wonderful Continental breakfast. It may be difficult for folks with bad knees; the guest rooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floor, although someone will help with luggage. Also if there's an event parking may be tight. These are certainly not breakers, this is one of the nicest Inns we've stayed at! We had such a great experience and enjoyed the sunset over the lake!

It is a charming, old nineteenth century inn and they have maintained it accordingly; it certainly has character. The restaurant's lake view is an amazing perk of this property. They do provide a daily turndown service, which is a very nice touch. But unfortunately, that is where the positives stop. The listing claims it is a 4 star hotel, but it is far from it. It simply does not have the amenities to clear that bar; there is no pool, room service, gym, valet, or concierge. There isn't even coffee, tea, or a kettle in the room; instead, these are shared with all the other rooms on the second floor. Furthermore, the room itself smells heavily of an old attic as soon as you enter. The included breakfast is abysmal, especially considering that the glowing Google reviews mostly praise the restaurant rather than the hotel. It consists entirely of prepackaged food nothing hot or fresh other than the waffle you can make yourself. Even the hard boiled eggs are packaged and clearly a day old. While most of the staff are helpful and nice, the front desk can be hit or miss. Additionally, evenings are chaotic and a total nightmare for parking because of the popular restaurant this place is famous for. The only reason to book this property is for its vintage character. Unfortunately, it does not have any other redeeming qualities.
