The only thing I noticed that could use attention, was the overhead fan by the hot tub. It was loud and rattling which was kind of annoying and made it difficult to converse. A piece of pool noodle attached to the side would keep it from banging against the wall. Other than that minor detail, there was nothing at all wrong. Everything was spotless, the room was spacious, and we had a wonderful visit!

Nice hotel. It was clean and had some nice amenities like coffee and cookies in the lobby. Staff was not overly friendly but were available to answer any issues and or questions. It was off season so not much to do around the area, but we were there for work. Breakfast area was under construction but the restaurant on the property was amazing. We only had the pleasure of visiting for breakfast, but the staff was friendly, efficient and the food was very good.

Perfect place to stay!

We love Essenhaus Inn. We stay there everytime we are in Middlebury to see our grandson's school programs. It is perfect - great rooms, delicious breakfast in a lovely large dining room - complete with fireplace! Friendly and helpful staff available to answer any questions or requests. Lots of shops, great restaurant and bakery nearby.
