The Hopkins Inn & Restaurant — Restaurant in Warren

Loved the historic feel however the place is not super welcoming the way of other inns or B an Bs. (Kind of like the house is not a home feeling.) There really was no welcome. When I arrived, the poor server was in the weeds working alone in a semi full dining room He also had to check me in. Kudos to him because he was holding it all together. Food was lovely even with a long wait. He and the chef were the nicest ones we encountered.||The room was like ice when we walked In. It was a super cold night so putting the heat on might have been nice before guests arrived.||The next day when I asked if they had any games or puzzles and the women working asked me if I was a guest. Why no, my 12 year old and I show up at random inns in remote areas asking for puzzles for sport. Of course I am a guest! I guess it was just the way she asked that came off as rude and unwelcoming. There were so many better ways to approach that conversation. Most games had missing pieces and looked like they hadn't been touched since the 80s. The table by the games is also broken.||Shower doesn't work, another no problem, I was fine with a bath but if you have mobility issues getting in and out of a bath with could be problematic. Bring your own toiletries. ||No coffee until 8:30 a.m. This is a historic house so you are up early because you hear everything and the window have transparent curtains with no blinds or drapes. It would be nice if that was made available earlier as this is in a super remote area.||Room was lovely and the bed was comfortable. There is no TV (I knew this coming in so no biggie). Bring some Uno cards if you are with young people. I enjoyed the room.||I am not sure if I would recommend this place to anyone coming to the area. It seems great for senior couples or solo traveler. (It was fun explaining my 12 y.o. the squeaking from the bed upstairs. Fortunately, she is mature and we had a good laugh.)||We checked out shortly after 9:00 a m. (Not before 8:30, I did read the book.) I just left the key after looking around for an attendant to no avail.||The human element of customer service was totally lacking from this trip. Perhaps hire a high school kid to at least greet customer, ask how their stay is going and make small talk even during the slow season. The purpose of an inn over a hotel is for all the feels.||I often travel alone for work. This would be a great place to write or complete a creative projects if you wish to be left alone in the Scrooge sense. As far as family travels, not so much. Mamas, do your Gilmore Girls experience some...

I highly recommend dining at the restaurant. I would not recommend staying at the inn.

The food at the restaurant is excellent. The restaurant features gourmet meals that are excellent, but please keep in mind that they will be quite expensive.

The inn is underwhelming. While true to the authentic colonial aesthetic that they are keen to maintain, the rooms are woefully unequipped for the modern traveler who is likely used to amenities - such as their own bathroom in their room - or used to decor that isn't ripped straight from the late 1950s.

Notably, the management of the inn itself seems secondary to that of the restaurant. Our reservations were improperly entered into the computer, leading to our room being initially unavailable. While we were upgraded to a much larger room for no additional cost, my wife and I were a left more than a little confused about whether our entire two night stay had been upgraded or if it was a single night being upgraded. The following day, I approached the front desk to ask about the issue after we received a phone call I did not manage to answer in time. At that time, I was assured that no one had called and no one indicated that there was a need to switch rooms. At three in the afternoon, I received a phone call asking us to switch rooms. I was happy to do so, although the late notice and lack of clarity about the issue suggested that the inn seemed poorly managed.

Additionally, the management staff is not friendly toward younger folks or first-times to the inn. For example, after our less-than-warm reception, we went to the dining hall to see if we could eat without a reservation. Notably, someone made a bit of a snide comment when we approached, which I can only imagine had to do with our age and inexperience with the inn, as my wife and I were the only persons in attendance under the age of 65. I find this unprofessional behavior, at best, and, as a whole, I found that the staff was largely unwelcoming. Not the best behavior for running a hotel.

I can't recommend staying at the inn, although the restaurant...
