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 Grafton Common area was really sweet… We enjoyed walking around and visiting the antique shop around the corner. The checkin was easy… when we found that our key wasn’t where they said it would be, we call the number provided and they quickly rectified the situation. The hotel is needs a lot of love. everything is worn down. the entrance way has steel restaurant shelves cluttering the area. the elevator smells wet, the ceiling in the room is stained with water leaks, the wood work is dirty and chipped, the bathroom has mold growing on the ceiling and the finish on vanity and mirror are peeling off. It was inexpensive for a reason.

room was under renovation. It is rustic and has older furniture. The bathroom needs alot of updates. The vanity faucet leaks bad, the sliding door for the shower does not slide open. The lady guest had to exit the shower behind the toilet, which is a huge safety issue. The toilet seat needs replacing.

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.

The Grafton Inn was perfect for our moms' getaway trip! It's part of a quirky old building - and the grille was unavailable, remodeling, I think - but our room was very fresh and comfortable and much more spacious than we expected. Perfectly clean, easy to access (elevator), and as described. Thanks for a lovely stay!

This is a very interesting place to stay. The inn was built in 1805, according to Wikipedia. There are seven rooms on the third floor. The second floor is vacant, and the only thing on the first floor is a barbershop. That was convenient, I booked a needed shave with Erica down there. It’s a separate business, but I was pleased with the service, and Erica was very friendly. I did not see any hotel staff, the only interaction was thorough check-in instructions via text when I booked. There is coffee available in the hallway. The grill has been shut down for two years, from what I gather. I chose to get iced coffee from the Uncommon Cow, a little over minute walk to the north. They have excellent iced coffee, and also had breakfast sandwiches and baked goods ready to go, which I did not try. Overall, wouldn’t here again. I wouldn’t book a romantic getaway.

We enjoyed immensely our stay at the Grafton Inn, and will definitely stay there again. The owner, Jay, and the staff are kind, helpful, friendly. Absolutely loved our room, which was spacious and cozy, and beds are so comfortable. Loved the Lemongrass soaps and shampoo. Hunter's Grill Tap food and drink outstanding.

No sleep

NOT RECOMMENDED. The local bell tower next to the inn goes off every hour all night long. Do not expect to sleep. It is also not staffed and the building looks abandoned. The rooms are on the 3rd floor. No check in instructions were sent. I had to call the inn and got someone to tell me where to find the lock box. Very creepy for a solo traveler. No info inside the room & it seemed as no one else was checked in. At least there was heat & a comfy bed. Definitely not worth the price.

The property looks a bit rundown, but everything worked well and our room was generally clean and comfortable. A new bathmat and a microwave in the room or another way to heat water for tea and coffee (we didn't trust the Keurig in the hall) would have improved the experience, but we did enjoy our stay and would stay again in the future.
