“A piece of history preserved.”
+On arrival we were concerned because the place was poorly lit and the reception we received from the young lady was not enthusiastic. However the room had everything we required and the bed and pillow were comfortable. Dining in was a bit of a nightmare as we had to wait for nearly 11/2 hrs, yes 90 mins, for our food to arrive after ordering and sitting at the table. Having said that it was excellent when it was served. The highlight was definitely Rob Ellis who was brilliant and kept us amused for hours. Breakfast was simple but as expected for complimentary.
−Receptionist needs some training on dealing with people, especially customers who can write reviews. Food situation needs improvement. If there was anywhere else decent available and it hadn’t been raining we would have gone. Several people came in and walked out after waiting. I appreciate the building is dated and kept in the original style but a good clean and a bit of paint wouldn’t go amiss. Dining room chandelier had 2 out of 5 or 6 bulbs out making it especially dingy.

“Nice, quaint lodging in Bennington”
+The home is quaint and comfortable. Maggie, the staff member who checked us in and made sure we were comfortable was great. There was a pianist in the common room in the evening for entertainment.
−The thermostat was never able to raise the temp in the room above 70 degrees.

+quaint street; near to a few attractions
−upon arrival, garbage bin overflowing and brown stained mattress sitting beside it. Hostess who met us was very unfriendly. Place badly needs some updating; cluttered with Victorian decor that is sagging, carpet in room stained/dirty, dirt on stairs, cobwebs and dust layered ceiling fan/lights, peeling paint on ceiling and crown molding. Food for continental was hard and seemed old, oranges wilted and should have been thrown away. We didn't eat.

“Worst B&B (no breakfast) ever stayed in.”
+Not much
−Carpet old, worn, filthy. Kept our socks on rather than walk barefoot on it. Bed uncomfortable. Dust caked on ceiling fan, would not want to turn it on. Musty smells.

“Great visit, great smells and friendly people.”
+Everything. The room was spacious and had so much room to roam. Was allowed to bring my humans with me. I let them sleep on the bed and I slept on the floor. The smells of the property were exquisite. The views from the second porch balcony were second to none! So many cars, squirrels and random crows. Can’t approve enough 4 paws up!
−Didn’t like that I couldn’t follow my dad to the bathroom. It was through another door. Nothing bad tho just a personal preference.

“I was very sad to leave because it was such a quiet setting and a perfect weekend with lovely unobtrusive hosts”
+Uniquely furnished according to the Victorian time period and well located! The restaurant in the hotel was the best Thai food I’ve ever had in the US
