Bed and Breakfast in Ware

"A clean place! I didn't see any yucky corners or forgotten surfaces. I was pleasantly surprised by this beautiful hotel, which also contains the Optical Museum. WOW! I love how the historical features have been preserved, and importantly the Danbury marble fireplace which is a feature of the museum. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT: after a long day of travel I wanted to hit the hot tub after dinner, but it closed at 9:00pm. If it weren't for the hot tub I would not have ended up here, so Expedia got me on that one. Another issue is that I was waiting at the front desk for twenty five minutes. Come to find out, those were the 25 minutes the pool area was getting locked down. I suggest accommodating adults who may come in late from long travels by keeping the hot tub and pool open until 10:00pm. Food: I had an outstanding Caesar salad for a very reasonable price, with wonderful service from Larry the bartender! Thank you, Larry! PS If they hadn't closed the pool down I would not have discovered the Optical Museum!"

"Second time at this hotel since November. Staff is pleasant. The room is clean and I appreciate that. I did not have body wash provided in my room, and used bar soap, which I dislike. In November the pool was cold. This visit I was informed that the hot tub wasn't working, so I did not use the pool. Parking is safe and easy. The access to the hotel from Rt 116 is easy, finding it from Russell St is a little challenge. "

"The bed was covered in someone’s hair. Like loads of it. In the sheets. On the pillows. On the comforter. It was disgusting. Parking was fine. Air conditioner kind of worked. Front desk staff was great. The rest, not so much. "

"The check in staff was not friendly or greet us upon arrival."

"Breakfast was cooked perfectly. Coffee not too strong not too weak. All the staff we encountered were very polite. Check in was a little had to understand because of the accent. Bar/restaurant closes a 11pm, just as we walked in from a concert. Nothing within walking distance was open at that time to eat."

"Breakfast had good variety of choices. Staff were friendly and responsive. Hot tub and pool area was filled with adults and children the two time we considered going so not able to take advantage of that amenity."

"Great property with amazing staff. Close to Smith and in an historic area. Lots of great dining options, places to walk, close to everything. Easy check in and out, free parking, and good breakfast. "

"We were just there to sleep, got in late, left early. Beds were really comfortable and really nice pillows. Beds and bathroom really clean. We had a pet friendly room, which is nice to have as we had our dog. But room did smell of dog, and carpet not too fresh. Still all in all would stay again"

"This Property is Tired. I decided to stay here since I flew into Bradley International and most of my business was between Sturbridge and Auburn. I usually stay closer to Worcester. I promise I’m not a hotel snob especially when traveling alone. Staff was nice enough for what they had to work with. They were pleasant and helpful. The hotel just reads old and not maintained. As I said, tired. Not its fault. The room was clean but again, felt old right down to the white towels that were old, worn and gray. Shower wasn’t draining and I was wading by the time I was done. I didn’t hate it but I don’t think that’s the bar we are trying to hit. At least it was convenient. "
