Very unique rooms
Pros:

We stayed in the Raspberry room. We loved the room. It had two bedroom along with two bathrooms. The one bathroom had the cutest little tub. The office was closed when we got there so earlier in the day they called to make arrangements for how we can get our keys. The were very friendly and helpful. The one thing we didn't like was that we didn't see a ghost.

Beware of Dishonest and Unaccommodating Policies
Pros:

I had one of the most frustrating and disappointing experiences with the Buxton Inn. I booked my stay through Expedia and at no point was I made aware of their ridiculous 9 PM check-in cutoff. My flight was delayed, forcing me to rebook at the last minute, and I still made every effort to arrive as early as possible. I even contacted the hotel and left a handwritten note on the lobby door. Despite all of this, the hotel refused to accommodate me, refused to refund me for the first night, and left me stranded late at night having to book another hotel out of pocket.

To make matters worse, when I raised this issue with the manager, the response was dismissive and unapologetic. They essentially hid behind "policy" rather than exercising any level of professionalism, empathy, or basic customer service. Most hotels understand that travel delays are out of the guest's control, and will work with you. Not here.

This experience cost me extra money, unnecessary stress, and wasted time. To add insult to injury, the information about the 9 PM cutoff was not disclosed anywhere on my Expedia booking. That is deceptive and unfair to travelers who are relying on third-party reservations.

If you are flying in from out of town, I strongly advise you to avoid this hotel at all costs. Their outdated, inflexible policies and lack of care for their guests speak volumes. There are plenty of other hotels in the area that will treat you with respect and fairness.

Shame on Buxton Inn for operating with such dishonesty and disregard for guests.

Pros:

We had a great experience staying at the Buxton. It’s in a quaint little town, has friendly folks, and it felt cool to stay in a place that Abe Lincoln stayed at in the past! Rooms were surprisingly comfy, and the bathrooms didn’t feel dated at all.

Pros:

We had a terrific stay at the Buxton Inn. Our king bedroom was spotless, with a modern 2 vanity sink and barn shower doors. The grounds are so pretty and tranquil with a couple of waterfalls splashing- it made reading outside relaxing - love the porch ceiling fan too!
We’ll be back!

Pros:

Old time charm, arrived at 3:00 pm for check in..room was not ready for another 40 minutes. Breakfast selection is limited, no decafe coffee. Overall acceptable but will consider other options in future. Big problem is only one other hotel in town and both are convenient to Denison University, otherwise one must go miles away.

The Buxton Inn is Tired
Pros:

I stayed one night. There was no staff member on-site after 9:00 p.m. There was no desk in the room: there was room for one; sitting on the bed with one's laptop & belongings spread all over is not pleasant. I had to call the man at the desk shortly after I check in to fix the TV. And, by the way, a guest can't actually call the front desk: You have to call their regular reservation line, listen to their voicemail tree about marketing staff, special events, etc., just to reach the front desk. Breakfast was a joke! I don't even know where to start with that. Hampton Inn's offer far superior breakfasts! Over-all the property is tired and over-priced.
