We felt like we were an inconvenience to the inn.  In addition, the owners were away so no one could see to a problem we had. As well, no fresh coffee for breakfast, so we just left.  The inn is for sale so this may explain the experience.



Very small room and little service 

This is a bit like staying at a charming, eccentric relative's house - if you're looking for a homogenized standard chain hotel room, it's not the place.  On the 3rd floor, there's a shared bathroom, there's a lot of improvisation in the upgrades, and decor and furniture are French country of a certain epoque.  

The hosts are very gracious and friendly, the continental breakfast was good, and the eccentricity and the right price makes this a unique experience.  But make the most of it, the inn is for sale.

Mad Jack's brewery is just down the road, where their own craft beers are excellent, and the food good and reasonably priced.

Splendid time-warp!

The room was nice, lockated on the 3'd floor (not so easy with suitcases), bath room & toilet not in the room, for use of 3 rooms in this floor. Continental breakfast was o.k.
Location is fairly good (we were at albany so it dudn't realy matters)

Nice place

This was a hard review to write because I wanted to LOVE this place. From the photos it's ADORABLE. However several factors left a sour taste in my mouth.

First, we arrived for check-in and in a hurried awkward meeting at the bottom of the stairs were given keys and informed our room was top floor end of the hallway. I was traveling with my mother and a little miffed that there was no offer to help with our luggage up to the third floor. The room was cute, decorated in the same style as the rest of the place, the bed was a plush memory foam that was cozy. However the remote was absolutely disgusting (see photo) and the wall mounted tv was so small that you couldn't actually see it. Small concessions, the place was still cute the bed still comfy and the bathroom (shared) still very clean. We went to bed around 10:00 and around 11:30pm trouble started. The rooms all have conjoining doors. one single door on each side of the room with neighbors on each side. Our neighbors on one side, peacefully snoring, not a big deal. The neighbors on the other side, watching tv, listening to music, slamming doors, smoking, among other night time couples activities. You could hear EVERY word. Crystal clear, they might as well have bed sitting on the couch in our room. While not the fault of the establishment that these guests were night owls, the insulation/sound proofing was terrible. Staying at an inn you expect certain quirkiness, you do not expect to hear every conversation, phone call and door close until 4:00am. We turned on the air conditioning thinking we could drown out some of the noise but it kept shutting off with a light indicating the filter needed to be changed. We couldn't find anyone to check out with in the morning but a nice continental breakfast was provided.

Overall, the place was cute, the bed comfy, but a return visit would be out of the question since it's a crap shoot as to whether you'll actually be able to sleep.

The beauty of this place is only worth it if you've brought ear plugs.

We had made a reservation for our daughter's college graduation; 3 rooms for 2 nights.   One month after Vintage Chic Inn had accepted our reservation, Donna called me and told me she "needed to make more money" during the graduation weekend and was raising rates 50% and wanted immediate payment and asked for my credit card.  No apology and no attempt at all to handle this professionally.  Of course I cancelled my reservation but wanted others considering a stay there to be aware of how this Inn operates.  Beware!
