Magnificent hotel in a lovely environment, although being close to a road, there is little traffic and therefore calm. The staff is very welcoming and warm. We ate there, refined cuisine, with an astonishing French-inspired menu, but adapted to American tastes, the chef is French. Breakfast was also excellent.

    We came up for the steam engine train ride and riverboat cruise. It was a lot of fun. I also liked having the Ct River down the street! It was nice being able to walk to the river and sit and enjoy it.

    Great location to downtown Essex where there are boutique shops. Not many restaurants but there is the Griswold Inn for food. Comfortable home with everything thing you need and the host is prompt to answer any questions.

    A beautiful old historic town worthy of a day trip.

    A beautiful old historic town worthy of a day trip. Lodging is limited to 2 historic hotels, both of which are VERY expensive. We went on the River Quest evening bird watching tour, which was excellent and the main point of the trip. The lodging was all that was available in that area.

    We loved this charming little village. We happened to be there when they held the celebration for the Burning of the Ships with Drum and Fife corps and a parade. We also booked the Essex Dinner Train and it was fabulous! Book ahead as it sells out.

    I love this historic New England town.

    I love this historic New England town. I come to visit every time I return to CT to see my family. Enjoyed lunch 2 days in the dining room. Staff provided great service both times. This was the first time I stayed at the Griswold Inn - checked off my bucket list - quaint New England Inn. I love seeing the town decorated for the 4th of July, enjoyed a local car show, walking distance to the CT River and other local shops and restaurants. Looking forward to returning in November.
