My girlfriend and I stayed one night. It's a quaint and charming old Inn. Everything was great and self service. Symptoms and bathroom were clean. The shower had plenty of hot water. Beds were comfortable. I would definitely go there again.

The Grafton Inn is a quiet, no-fills, self- serve place to stay. For us , it’s a perfect dog friendly kinda funky respite while we visit family in the area. There’s even a little hiking path across the street behind the library.

Clean, good sized room. I could not figure out the TV so I did not watch it which was fine. Very good clear check in instructions and friendly and welcoming remotely. Foam mattress was comfortable. Bathroom sink faucet leaked.
It suited my needs for a night being clean, comfortable, no extras.

Very comfortable bed, easy instructions for entry, and overall a good stay for passing through. No bath towel in the bathroom. Window A/C unit battle with central heating to cool the room. Would have been nice to have a chair, and the blinds definitely need replaced.

Our stay was perfect. This is an old inn with an old feel. Some things arent brand new, but every thing was well cared for, and very clean. Check in/out was easy. The place was peaceful and very comfortable. I would stay again.

Great little Inn, very quiet and safe. Large spacious rooms.
The Inn is in dire need of a renovation, but was very comfortable.

This is a great location if you are coming to Grafton. It’s going through renovations so it is not a five star hotel - but it is clean and quiet.

It was very cool staying in such a historic building! That plus the price and convenience made us not mind the under-construction feel. We wanted a comfortable place to spend a night that wouldn’t break the bank, and it delivered. Had we wanted a 5-star experience, we would have stayed somewhere else.

We have a very short but nice stay when we were in town visiting our son at college in Worcester. We arrived late and did not interact with any staff, but they had sent directions to get the room key and we had no problems upon arrival. Our only minor complaint was with the condition of the bathroom, which could use some attention. The sink doesn’t drain well because the stopper is broken so it is always closed, and there is a leak in the pipe to the shower head so water sprays out on to the wall next to the shower. Other than that it is a charming place to stay.

The downstairs area was mostly closed and the owners didn’t really interact with me outside of when I first arrived there, but the upstairs hallway area had this David Lynch/Silent Hill vibe to it. It was creepy in a good way, I really liked it. Even my bedroom was like that, though not as much as the hallway.
My only complaints were the lack of toothpaste and shampoo in my bathroom, but other than that, I would love to come back here a 2nd time should I ever get the opportunity to do so.

Quintessential New England town center with green in the middle, this classic inn, and several old churches. Comfy beds in clean rooms. Wallabies to coffee place with breakfast and lunch options, a great antique shop, and a deli as well as a cute general store and a street with beautiful historic homes.
