Waitsfield Inn — Hotel in Waitsfield

My husband and I stayed at the Waitsfield Inn for our 30th wedding anniversary. We were very disappointed with our stay. Our experience from check in to check out was lacking the quaint charm and personal, welcoming hospitality that one would expect from a Bed and Breakfast in the foothills of Mad River.||We arrived in the evening and dialed the number left on the counter. The gentleman came out to process our room. I felt as though I was a bother instead of an innkeeper welcoming some road-weary travelers. There was no light conversation, welcome, or perhaps a “happy anniversary” (which I had noted on our reservation). We just watched him on the computer until he gave us our key. Other than one short conversation in the morning, we never saw the innkeeper again||Our room fell short of a quaint VT Inn. It was a narrow bunk room similar to being in a ski house. It had a wooden desk with chair. So, lounging in our room with a cup of coffee was not an option. It was stark and not charming.|We went down for breakfast the first morning and were greeted with a bowl of granola and a cup of about 8-12 blueberries. There was yogurt in the fridge and some bread for toast. That was it. Hardly a Bed and Breakfast home cooked breakfast to start the day. We had to go out and eat breakfast elsewhere. The next morning, we went down for breakfast only to find the exact same items as the day before. Once again, bought breakfast elsewhere. The blueberry pancakes that adorn the website were nowhere to be found and the innkeeper was MIA. The website boasting a delicious plant-based breakfast with a photo of a stack of blueberry pancakes with syrup every morning sadly, didn't happen.||The last straw was the day we were leaving. What did we find at 6:30am? Nothing. What did we find at 7:00am? Nothing. Not even coffee. We were scrambling to find a cup of coffee to hit the road with. Luckily the VG had coffee but no breakfast items. So, we left without eating. I am sure our total bill included breakfast for three mornings. For over $500 we should have received a warm breakfast and a host who cared.||If you are looking to stay at a quaint, charming inn where the innkeepers are hospitable and you feel welcomed, don’t book the Waitsfield Inn. Sadly, it is not a Bed & Breakfast, it is a Bunk & Snack. I tried to contact the Inn twice to discuss the disappointment in our stay and neither email was answered. There are plenty of other wonderful inns in the valley that will welcome you, cook for you, and make you feel like you are family in their...

I'll admit I'm being a little generous with my review but I found this place so convenient, welcoming, and comfortable. The host made such a genuine effort to make us comfortable, asking about the breakfast options or if we needed anything, and he genuinely seemed to enjoy chatting and it just felt like more of an experience than staying at the Best Western or whatever.||I was a little early for check in and wasn't sure which door to enter so I called the hotel and the phone picked up immediately. Someone friendly immediately picked up the phone and told me where to go. When I checked in I was given a tour of the whole place. There's a rec room with a fireplace and table shuffleboard and couches, several cozy reading areas, and several rooms with tables and chairs. ||Our room was very nice, spacious, and sunny. I found it a quiet place to sleep. It took a little time to heat up when we arrived. Mornings were the best time to shower, we couldn't get the hot water going in the evenings and it took a while to heat up anytime. Another slightly off note was that the entrance smelled like a skunk, I'm going to assume that was a fluke and that they cleared that up after we left.||I have never stayed at an inn before but I found this place really charming and it was convenient that there was a communal fridge, microwave, water, coffee, and tea at all times. Some of the breakfast items like breads and fruit and juice were out all day so I think you could have had them whenever you wanted, which helped with the comfortable and generous vibe of the place. We brought in chinese food one night from a good (even by NYC standards) takeout place nearby and ate at the tables and then saved our leftovers in the fridge. This would be a great place to book with friends and then hang out in the common areas at night.||10 minutes...
