格倫凱恩飯店

In the many upon many options there are for a simple overnight stay, I discovered this inn thinking it was going to be a great find: especially based on the photos and reviews that made it sound wonderful. I've stayed at inns before, and have loved my stays but this old house, even though the old part was not the issue, there is a difference between old and rustic and dirty and grind. In the room I stayed in, the carpet needed to be replaced; worn and dirty. Surrounding the rectangular looking carpet in the center of the room were wooded floors, which had layers of old dirt that seemed to have accumulated over years. The fire place, as nice as it was to have one there, and its surrounding area, evident once again were layers of old dirt and grind that felt as if they have never been cleaned before. As I walked around the room when I first arrived, I noticed white feathers on the carpet, and when I went to open one of the windows, though old and wooded, would not stay open. It was a warm day and evening and there is no control of AC for each individual room, so the evening was a bit warm and there was no air circulation from the windows themselves even when propped open. The screens in the windows, rusty-ish, stuck in place, metal edges sticking out, were stuck in place and hard to move down as the inn requests in their emails. At this point, I was there, and I knew I would not get my money back. When I retired for the evening, I noticed right away the mattress also needs replacing for it was caving inward on one of the sides. One thing which was also misleading in their advertisement, was their statement about live TV. There were no typical standard channels but rather the live TV available only a Roku stick; so if you are looking to watch anything current, or anything from a major network, you would need your own account to a streaming service. (Which they do mention but the Live TV is not what I was imaging.) Lastly I would state that the breakfast the inn raves about, was okay, nothing amazing as I was expecting. The price was super expensive for what I received and definitely not worth the money. Even if just $100, that would still be too much in my book for what you get. The innkeeper was nice but that alone would not merit another stay for me; just not worth the value I paid.

My wife and I had the pleasure to stay at the Inn at Glencairn this last weekend for our 13th wedding anniversary. We choose to stay here due to its proximity to Princeton and wanting to try out a Bed & Breakfast for the first time. It was a wonderful experience from the moment we arrived. The historic house has been updated without losing any of its original charm. Lydia the Innkeeper & Chef is an extraordinary individual who was attentive, friendly, and a fabulous breakfast connoisseur. The two breakfasts that we were able to have were excellent, complex, and delightful. We would highly recommend staying here and are looking forward to a return trip.
