Pros:

It is a cool hotel built in 1765, no bells and whistles, window AC, for a few days is fine, Roccos restaurant downstairs had the best tomahawk steak I ever had, great if you like walking around and seeing old homes from the 1700's to early 1800's

Pros:

Staying in a historical hotel was awsome, the stairs, wallpaper in hallway and old elegance of it was really nice. It was clean and nice. No frills. Don't expect luxury amenities as it's not expected but nice bedding, clean room and comfortable. Remember, you're staying in a part of history. That was cool. Also, try restaurant on bottom floor, it was excellent food.

Get away visit.
Pros:

Rocco’s was closed for renovations. That could have been posted on the website. Bed was comfortable. Could use TCL- wall patched, caulked in the bathroom, peeling wall paper. Will not stay again.

A lot of room for improvement!
Pros:

Brick Hotel is conveniently located in the center of Newtown, close to shopping and restaurants. There is a quality restaurant downstairs. Main issue is that the hotel room we were given is dated, a little rundown, one window AC unit cooling the room but not the bathroom. Bathroom is tight with nowhere convenient to place your toiletries. Bathtub/shower would probably be tight/claustrophobic for a big person. Bed and pillows are not terribly comfortable.

Pros:

The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I realize it’s a very old building, but the rooms could us a little updating. Other than that we had a very pleasant stay.

Pros:

Received a notice right away about where to park and that an attendant would be waiting to show me where. Staff/owner was there to assist right away. They followed up with a text to make sure everything was ok. Older quaint hotel for a no frills stay. Very nice stay.

Pros:

The facility was spectacular. The restaurant in the downstairs is a little high end and you do have to walk through the crowd to get into the hotel, but it adds to the charm. The building is very old and shows its age, but is very well maintained if you like all historical buildings this is a great place to stay and reasonably priced. Does have offstreet parking which is a plus and the town is fantastic to wander around very safe and very quaint.

Pros:

This is a historic inn from the 1700s. George Washington slept here along with Hessian officers captured in the revolution. The rooms are old, but clean with updated bathrooms. The restaurant on the first floor is the focus of the Brick Hotel and their staff supplies your key. The are is very walkable with fun sgops amd restaurants nearby.

Pros:

Staff more concerned with restaurant business than hotel. Room average nothing spectacular. Standard amenities there but little more. Money better spent at chain hotel.
