Classic old inn experiencing new life with nice upgrades. Staff were friendly and absolutely great.
Pros:

The breakfast area was bright, sunny and very cheery. The continental breakfast reminded me of breakfasts in European hotels so that was a big plus. Glad they use plates and real metal tableware as I hate the American throwaway style of everything. Had a nice selection of fruit, bagels, breads, and cold cereals.

Cons:

Coffee was not offered in mugs or cups but instead some kind of poly-whatever throwaway cups.

Had a great stay this is our second year back. Loved this old inn and it’s proprietors, will be back
Pros:

The breakfast was very delicious displayed in a attractive well set up way. There were lots of choices fruit cereal yogurt delicious pastries toast and English muffins and bagels and hard boiled eggs. Other things too numerous to mention. Breakfast is served in a beautiful yesteryear kind of antiques and decor. The room is bright and cheerful.. All in all a great breakfast

Cons:

Seeing that is the beautiful colourful time of year in vermont with the beautiful scarlet and gold of the abundant trees I felt that tge inn lacked in any kind of fall decor. Other inns in the vicinity had pumpkins and fall coloured foliage draped around the doors of the inn. Also the main entrance vestibule suffered from the same lack of decor.

Enjoyable stay in a very tastefully done historical hotel.
Pros:

The breakfast was good. However. We usually enjoy some kind of hot food. It was a nice touch for the manager to pass around a tray of fresh from the oven scones table to table.

Cons:

It was a little hard to pull the suitcase cart into the front door.

A stay in the grand style of long ago
Pros:

Brandon Inn is much grander than I had expected. I felt transported back to more opulent, glorious days. I enjoyed staying here immensely. The Brandon Inn is so much more exceptional and atmospheric than a chain establishment.

With a modern adaption, check in and access to my room was all arranged ahead of time, by email. It was so nice, on a dark and stormy October evening, to be able to head straight to my room and get in quickly utilizing the detailed and accurate instructions.

I went next door to the popular Eatery for a tasty and convenient dinner. Afterwards it was nice to sit on the comfortable sofa before the gas fire on the spacious main floor of the inn before retiring for the night.

Breakfast at the Inn in the morning was also more than I had expected. I ate well.

Cons:

Nothing.

Nice historic feel to the place but circumstances that transpired led to very poor sleep.
Pros:

Nice antique-y feeling about the place and very good breakfast

Cons:

An evening wedding with a live band was scheduled without my knowledge when I booked. We were on the second floor, and the racket was intolerable until almost 10 pm. This certainly isn't fair to the guests who paid almost 250 dollars per night. I would advise if you are going to book weddings, they be afternoon affairs (say 2-8 pm), ESPECIALLY if there is going to be a live band with mic-ed music and drums and electric musical instruments. Had I known the quality of sleep would be so compromised, no way would I have stayed here. The second night, someone in a room above us seemed to be banging on the floor until almost 11 pm as well.

Comfortable room, sweet town. Very rural .
Pros:

Historic architecture

Cons:

Had to have staff operate the elevator. It was understandable due to the quirkiness of the facility but it was a bit of a hassle.

Fabulous! A great place on Rt. 7, in Vermont to spend a few days.
Pros:

The Brandon Inn was beyond my expectations! Traveling past the Brandon Inn on numerous trips to Middlebury, VT, made me want to eventually book rooms for overnights! We had a wonderful stay...the breakfast far surpassed any place in which my spouse and I have stayed, and we travel by car frequently. There were hot and cold options, much protein, great coffee, homemade scones and biscuits....The Brandon Inn is a must. for anyone traveling Rt 7 in Vermont! Thank you for a marvelous stay! We will return!

Cons:

There was nothing we didn't like, from the person who helped me carry my luggage upstairs when we arrived, to the bartender who served us after dinner drinks! The staff is wonderful, friendly and helpful!

The Brandon Inn was a quaint, old inn in a great location.
Pros:

The Brandon Inn was a quaint, old inn in a great location. The breakfast was adequate and we wished we had had more time to explore the area.

Cons:

Room decor was pretty dated, the floor creaked with every step, and the room had a lean to it.
