I stayed in one of the full sized beds annex rooms (room 21) at the Griswold Inn for 2 nights. I was there with my boyfriend for one of my friend's weddings. Many of my other friends were also staying in the annex rooms as well. We are all in our late 20's to early 30's and loved our stay!... More

As frequesnt diners at the Griswold Inn we had never actually stayed overnight, so we decide to to do so on our anniversary. We stayed in the Hayden house, adjacent to the Inn which was lovely, the common rooms were very authentic looking and gave a feel of stepping back in time. Our dinner was good, my salmon was excellent... More

My husband and I stayed on the Friday night of Memorial Day weekend, and we had a fabulous time! We came to the area for a wedding for Saturday morning in Old Saybrook, and, coming from Albany, NY, didn't want to make the trip in one day. The town was gorgeous, charming and quaint, impeccably maintained, and The Griswold is... More

We spent and afternoon in this very walkable town. Early dinner at the Griswold was a nice way to end the day. The place has history and atmosphere. The staff is competent and friendly. The food was good. Yes good; nothing unique. I had nothing to complain about but also I had nothing to rave about.

We stayed at this charming Inn for a second time, and both times it was lovely...Very quaint and rustic, friendly people, good bar and very good food....Live music on Saturday night just added to the fun...Easy ride from NYC, I highly suggest The Griswald Inn, and Essex, it's charming home.

I bought a Living Social deal for the Gris and had April-June to use it. My boyfriend and I live in RI and we truly needed a getaway from our everyday. This town was just what the DR. Ordered!! The town is best visited during the summer months. It's right on the water and is untouched by doughboy or twisty... More

Stayed recently at the Griswold Inn for a weekend overnight. Friendly and efficient at the front desk during check in. Our room was in the Main Inn building. There are also rooms in adjacent buildings and over a couple of the stores on the main street (we have stayed at The Gris before). Our room was good sized for an... More

Stayed at Griswold Inn through a Living Social special. Inn is old & historic. Rooms clean and comfortable. No TV so if you are looking to catch a show or movie, they are not in rooms. You can see how old the inn is by the sloping floors. Employees very hospitable, bar cozy and delicious food in restaurant. Had the... More

Arrived around 6pm and checked in quickly. The desk clerk was very pleasant, the ambiance was welcoming - fire going in the parlor, live music from the bar area - and... More
