The Old Mill Inn is a beautiful place to stay but has a frw drawbacks.
Pros:

Proximity. Pure room was nice.

Cons:

Air conditioner difficult to control and loud. Party leaving after an event were very loud outside our room and woke me up at 10:30. We mentioned we had our reception there years back and they didn’t even acknowledge the statement. Guess they have too many weddings there for it to be exceptional to them.

Perfect location and very comfortable accommodations.
Pros:

This is such a lovely old inn. The location is convenient to the towns of Basking Ridge and Bernardsville, and not far from Morristown. We stay here quite often when visiting the area as the bedrooms are comfortable and very clean. The breakfast has always been complementary for us and provides a hot option, pastries, fresh fruit, and new coffee set up that dispenses several types of choices, including a flat white, which I just happened to love!

Cons:

I can’t think of anything that I did not like about our stay.

Beautiful hotel; terrific location off 287.
Pros:

Great location. Very close to Sloan Kettering medical facility easy on easy off 287. A little high in price, but World Cup is going on so maybe that’s why. It’s absolutely beautiful inside like an old time grand hotel… not cookie cutter like the modern facilities.

Cons:

Parking is a short walk from the front door. If you are handicapped or have a hard time walking up the hill, make sure to let your passengers off at the front door. Staff is not real welcoming or friendly. Breakfast is supposed to start at 6:30 but we were down there right at 6:30 and it wasn’t ready. Everything is heated up with sterno, comes cold. So we got cold eggs, cold oatmeal, etc. no coffee at 6:30 no hot water for tea at 6:30.

Gezellige locatie om er een paar dagen te verblijven, ligt centraal en prijs is 'value for money'
Pros:

Stijlvolle locatie en dat valt in Amerika wel op omdat je daar veel hotel chains hebt die wel een beetje 13 in een dozijn zijn. Dat geldt zeker niet voor dit hotel. Als je van klassieke, oud Engelse stijl houdt en je verlangt geen hele moderne kamer, dan is dit een uitstekende keuze. Ik was ERG enthousiast over de mooie binnentuin waar je heerlijk kunt zitten. Breakfast vond ik ook beter dan in veel andere hotel chains.

Cons:

Kamers zijn best wel oud en ruiken een beetje muffig. Daarnaast zijn de kamers erg donker (zeer donker meubilair) en dat is niet mijn voorkeur. Wat ik ook niet prettig vond is dat je - ondanks dat de kamerhuur behoorlijk aan de prijs is - zelfs voor een flesje water op de kamer $2 moet betalen. Dat staat me persoonlijk erg tegen.

For the price, customer value????
Pros:

Location and history

Cons:

Room was dated, air conditioner was loud, check in describes breakfast and totally failed expectation, asked for late check out so we could go out to eat and were abruptly told “no later than noon”

Pleasant option
Pros:

The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable aside from a bit of confusion about the a/c controls. I liked that both the desk lamp and nightstand lamp had places to plug in a standard outlet and a usb a cord. A warm breakfast was provided that had good options.

Cons:

I am lactose intolerant and would have appreciated indication of which breakfast options were safe for me to eat. When the room was too chilly,I saw a window wall system but it was unresponsive to my control attempts. I learned that it was controlled by a wall system opposite the window implement. Since the hotel was obviously old, that possibility hadn’t occurred to me. The bathroom was quite small but workable for a single person. With 2 double beds=3”4 potential residents, it might have been challenging

We had a pleasant stay despite some problems.
Pros:

Good location. Quiet on a weekday. Comfortable room. Pretty good gym.

Cons:

Electronic keys did not always work, and our departure was delayed 30 minutes because we could not get back in our room after breakfast. Complimentary breakfast was mediocre, and breakfast staff was unfriendly. Room was a bit old and tired. Coffee maker in the room had no coffee or tea. This is a criticism of booking.com: we booked a 350sf deluxe king room, but the room was about half that size, and it turns out that all the deluxe king rooms are about 200 sf not 350sf. Booking.com should correct this error to avoid misleading its customers.

Pros:

The location was convenient, and the inn is charming, well maintained and comes with some early American history. The room was clean and adequately sized. On the plus side there is a restaurant across the parking lot which is absolutely excellent.

Cons:

The bed wasn't particularly comfortable, and the breakfast was a disappointment. On the weekends, they serve only a cold continental breakfast.

Will not be staying there in the future.
Pros:

It was ok. Set up in a hallway and limited selection

Cons:

The room was very noisy with the interstate highway within hearing distance. The tub/shower did not drain properly and the water diverter did not work properly. The filter for the AC/Heat Unit was dirty.
