The Mayflower Inn & Spa, Auberge Resorts Collection

Had dinner in the “Tap” room. The name should be changed to the Terrible Room. The place is very pretty and the service was good. The food was inedible. The menu was absolutely a joke. Total ripoff! The drinks were worst than the food. Bloody Mary sent back and the martini was hardly chilled.

Truly one of our favorite long weekend get-a-ways ever. Excellent service, room, dining, spa. It felt more like a return visit to a favorite place instead of a first time experience. The spa was relaxing. Coffee on our porch overlooking a tranquil pond a gift. We will return

The place is a hidden or not so hidden gem. Service, food, activities; this place has it all and management has everyone who works there firing on all cylinders at all times. I would recommend this place to everyone as it can handle anything. I’ve found it to be more of a romantic or family type place as compared to a guys trip. Can’t speak for a girls trip but small groups are better unless going to buy out the entire place for the weekend with a wedding

DISSAPOINTED DAY.! TWO Thumbs way DOWN -NEVER RETURN-:( Weve dined and stayed here numerous times. Today, we drove all the way up from Westchester just to have an enjoyable hi-end lunch w/ the wife. What a massive surprise! Awful lunch w/ lady named Samanatha -as our server. ( if you could call her server - since she did nothing) but never returned to us after taking our order. Never checked on us, never did a single bloody thing/ Outrageous. 45 minutes we waited for our omelets. 45 minutes w/3 diners in the 90-degree restaurant. Note: Samantha you are fired. ! Also- Forgot the sourdough breads I ordered, but charged me anyway, (2.00 for toast!) I had to have another server to assist us after our waiting 45 minutes for our order wit only 3 other diners in house. Terrible service in overheated dining room-asked temp to be turned up 2x -I had to get out of my seat to ask as no one came to our table to look after us. We saw the server walk by to the bar several times without even- looking- at- After she took the order and after that was missing for 30 minutes( prob takin a break and forgot to put in our order) My wife was very upset-as this charade continued. Do not waste your time & money -very sad indeed. Nicest part of today was leaving (the valet man was super) Rose was ok.

We came on Saturday to have a drink at the bar in the afternoon. Considering the prices of the drinks, you would think the service would justify the prices. Unfortunately it was not the case. We sat at the little table across from the bar, 2 bartenders, 3 guests at the bar and the bartenders didnt even looked at us. I couldn't believe this, no acknowledgment by any kind. After 10 minutes, we asked the girl (another guest) sitting there too. She said she was waiting for 30 minutes before anyone came to her but she stood up and went to get a server. The gentleman looked like we are a bother to him, he asked if we want food menu, we said just drink menu and he left saying he will bring water and take our order. He took our order (water was never brought), then he brought the drinks which he spilled. He cleaned the table, not the glasses, and left. There was no table cloth, not even napkins, no snack of any kind. Needles to say for over $100 for 3 drinks, this is unacceptable. The bartenders never made any eye contact, never said a word or looked our way. The wait staff was not friendly, kind of accepting that they have to serve us. The only friendly and welcoming employee we encountered was the doorman. This young kid (I wish I remembered his name) was fantastic. Mayflower Inn unfortunately is not what it used to be but this experience was truly disappointing. You dont expect this type of service anywhere, less so in a place that once upon a time had class.

Beware: The spa here will maintain the 24 hour cancel policy no matter what. I purchased a $1,000 gift card to enjoy a half day spa/massage for my wife's birthday. However our child was sick that morning so at 7:15am I notified the manager of the spa. He was kind enough not to charge the "entire 550 per person for all services" and instead charged $370 for a total of $740. I can't remember the last time a hotel or spa was this inflexible, regardless of stated policy.

Everything about The Mayflower was perfect! Our room was fabulous, the food was outstanding and most importantly the staff is so warm and welcoming. They could not do enough to make our stay wonderful! I highly recommend this hotel!!

When you are spending a LOT of money on one night in a special inn in the beautiful Connecticut countryside, you expect excellent service. And you hope for a relaxing night with no stress. Unfortunately, on our first visit to the Mayflower Inn, we did not receive it. Upon arriving and checking in we were told we were in a building across the street. The staff member offered to walk us across but as we only had two small bags and didn't need help, we asked which building? She pointed to the one on the left. We walked up (in snow and wind) and could not find Room 10 anywhere. My spouse walked back down to the front desk and asked for better directions to Room 10. The clerk said, "oh! You haven't been to your room yet? Did you go down to the basement?" Obviously not. Another staff member then pointed out the correct building, on the right and we were able to access our room. Room 10 is two rooms, a large living area with fireplace and large bedroom with fireplace. Two large bathrooms and a patio complete the space. Very pretty decorations and comfortable. Odd placement of the TV, not over the FP in front of the sofa. You have to turn and align to the left to watch it. We were very off put by the large beetle in one toilet. We couldn't figure out how it got there until the next morning when we saw a swarm of lady bugs on the curtain next to the toilet. Eww. We dined at the Inn and had a lovely experience. However, we were quickly brought back down to earth, when we walked up to our room (on a path only partially cleared of ice and snow) to find our room key did not work! Note: they are very proud to explain the keys have no numbers on them for security reasons. My spouse trudged back down to the front desk, they gave him another key-he walked back through the cold...and new key also does not work. At the point we are irritated and cold. We call the front desk and they promise to send someone. it was about 25 minutes of being unable to gain access to our room before a maintenance man was able to unlock the door. The next day they delivered a key to the spa while we worked out. We had to laugh when that key didn't work either! You would think for $1800 for one night, service would be top notch and bend over backwards to ensure your stay is excellent. They didn't. We even explained our displeasure at the key situation and received a shoulder shrug in response. We work hard for our money and really had been looking forward to a stress-free stay. We did not get it. Overall not impressed with the Mayflower Inn and certainly don't consider it a 5 star hotel.
