For a bed-and-breakfast don’t expect any breakfast. This place is barely an inn. Don’t expect hot water it only gets warm, most rooms have no TV, housekeeping doesn’t exist. This place is in complete this repair. It does have a bar but oops it’s closed. We also have a non-functioning kitchen. Do yourself a favor stay elsewhere. PS the ratings are a big lie. Most reviews are terrible. It should be rated a one or two.

The mattress was awful! The room tiny. The bathroom didn’t have a shower which wasn’t in the room description, just a tub which wouldn’t drain and had a dripping faucet that dripped all night long. The sink had no hot water. We were on the 3rd floor and there were no other people on site. At check in we were told the dining room was closed and breakfast was “off site” whatever that means. At night, I could hear the mice in the walls. Do not recommend at all!

They are no longer providing breakfast. While this statement exists on their website, it was buried several clicks deep and it was not readily apparent to us while booking. Also, the beds in the room were very uncomfortable.

It is a novel and charming experience to stay in an old country inn. This hotel fit the description exactly. Creaky floors and doors add character to the place and to the experience. The proprietors take good care of you, and add to the enjoyment of a retreat from the fast pace of the contemporary world.

It’s just sad that this once beautiful inn has been allowed to fall into this level of disrepair. The owners should be ashamed of the condition, close and do some much needed upkeep and restoration and then reopen.

I'd never stayed at a B&B before, so i was excited. When i arrived at 8pm, no one was at the desk. I said "Hello?" several times, then had to knock on doors. A guest came downstairs to help me. A guest! She told me that she had the same issue, plus no hot water. As we were talking, a man walked in. He asked why there was "yelling" I told him i was there to check in and he was very upset with me for not looking for my own paperwork on the desk!! He was very angry and very rude. Told me the key is in the room. I go up to my room and find the door locked. I had had a long, not great day and was at my limit so i asked for a refund and wanted nothing to do with them. I guess he felt bad (someone else had taken the room designated to me) and he offered to make up a room for me. 13 rooms, 2 guests (guy in my room and lady), 11 rooms unkempt. He offered it to me for free to make up for everything so i stayed...but no hot water. And no breakfast.

Never have I experienced a more uncomfortable bed. UGH! The room itself was charming, lovely antique furniture, and although the bathroom was across the hall (??!!) the fittings were also period appropriate & in fine condition. A change or update of mattresses would make a world of difference.

A Disappointment
This old inn has clearly seen better days. There is so much potential for it to be a special place. The front porch looks lovely but there were no chairs to invite guests to sit and relax. The check in was about the only time I saw anyone at the front desk. There was absolutely nothing happening in the lobby. No common area and no sign of a bar, dinner or breakfast spot. The room was small with the mattress very soft. I slept very poorly as I felt alone on the third floor and a bit unsafe. My private bathroom was across from my room - an old tub with the curtain hanging from an old rod system. Thankfully the water was warm. No bathroom matt to step out onto. Getting back to the bedroom, it had zero amenties. No tv, poor wifl and little room to move around. I found NO reason to hang out in the room, just sleep. Very uncomfortable place for a woman traveling alone. The front door appeared to be unlocked at all times.

Very sad the place looked run down unloved! I was told we would have breakfast included and when I arrived there was a note saying my key was in the room and No breakfast would be Provided even though I paid for that! 😡 I understand they had water damage,but the carpets Weren’t even vacuumed and I was cleaning up the coffee station daily because it grossed me out. I have stayed at the Inn in the past and this was my last I’m afraid very disappointed

They claim our room is a suite. The extra bed is a pull out couch so uncomfortable that a dog wouldn’t sleep on it. Or a rollaway single bed. It’s embarrassing to say its room sleeps 3 people. The owners should feel ashamed.

Check out how you check in PLEASE!
Before you make a reservation here, make sure you read the check-in policy. I wanted a place to stay in town(this is it) because I was participating in a parade the next morning. Check-in is from 2-9pm. I was running late on a Friday after work and realized I wouldn't get there until after 10. I called and left a detailed message around 8pm. I then read another policy that if you come late you must let them know 48 hours in advance. I didn't know if I should drive the whole way or stay where I was until morning because I tried to call many times BEfORE 9. Still no answer from anyone. If you could check in at 9 and I was one of 11 rooms you would expect they( who actually run the business)would have been available at least to answer and tell me whether or not to drive 2 hrs there. At that point, I had to choose to not travel with no refund. Policy is policy. Not convenient for this traveler.

Absolutely awful, dirty, moldy, creepy. We were the only car in the parking lot and nobody was there to greet us. Literally the Bates Motel. This place should not be advertised on Travelocity in any manner. Complete fraud and rip off. We left after 10 minutes and found another hotel. I am demanding a refund from Travelocity. As a premium customer, who spends thousands of dollars a year on Travelocity I hope I don’t have to fight for a refund.

Expensive for the offerings
Very very expensive, too expensive to have no staff present (we never saw a person) and to say no breakfast without a credit or voucher. The room was beautiful. It was just priced like a resort but without the amenities of one.

Highly disappointed with Monadnock Inn
I would not recommend the Monadnock Inn in Jaffery NH. The ower is trying to sell the place and isnt taking care it. The day we arrived he let go of the Inn keeper, and the only other employee. The outside & inside have seen better days. There is no food onsite. The pictures on the website are from days gone by and very deceiving. In room 303, the mattress is softer than soft and sags very much on one side. The screens on the porch are torn; the floor boards and carpets are worn. The air conditioning is on the fritz, and when you flush the toilet it makes a noise in the tub. When you go to the front desk down the hall you aren't greeted by a friendly host and he had left our key in the door to the room we were staying because he was having problems with it.

The room was fine if tired. I appreciate the character of the place but if you are looking for a brand new Marriott Courtyard then this is not the place for you. There is literally no staff. You check yourself in and out. If there were not other folks staying it could be a bit scary. My room did not have a TV. I honestly never checked the other rooms. Could be the case with all of them but I am not sure. They did have a Keurig for coffee in the am which was a plus.
