Simsbury Inn

A lovely stay. Checked in very late and Rohan at the front desk was warm, welcoming and very professional. Travelled with a toddler (4 yrs) and stayed for 2 nights. We had the pool all to ourselves! Front desk staff was superb. Rooms were well appointed, very clean, comfortable and blissfully quiet. The petit fours at 5 pm were delectable and the complimentary continental breakfast was just right for us. Will definitely stay again next year.

I found this place trough another app as we were traveling trough the state. They quoted me a higher price than the app until I told them the price I had seen. Ellen at the front desk quickly honored the app price and was very welcoming. The room was nice, clean and spacious. The sheets were comfortable.
The gym and pool were the best part of the hotel for me. They have a modern workout facility with all the basics you need for a good workout. Then you can swim in their clean, clear heated indoor pool. Finally, they have a jacuzzi and sauna to relax in.
My only issue with this otherwise lovely Inn was housekeeping vacuuming and banging in the rooms around me at a very early hour. After driving for half a day I really wanted to sleep in. I asked for a late check out, they gladly accommodated me. At 9:00am the cleaning staff was aggressively cleaning. I applaud the hotel in keeping the facility very tidy, however trying to get extra rest was impossible.
I stayed in a king size bed which was 2 twins put together. One side of the bed was broken. I did mention this at check out and they told me they would of been more than happy to help me relocate to another room had I mentioned this once I discovered the problem. Which I failed to do.
I enjoyed my stay at this Inn the price is very fair and other than all the morning noise I can’t say anything bad about this place. I recommend it.

I just stayed at the Simsbury Inn for one night after a wedding. The level of care and attention the staff paid was outstanding. When booking the room the Inn was originally booked so I was referred to a sister property. Glen, the gentleman I spoke with on the phone at the Simsbury Inn, actually called back to confirm that I-​someone who was not a customer — got a room. He later called back with a room opening and cancelled the reservation I had at their sister property.
While staying there Rita was one of the wait staff and she was fantastic and super sweet! The food was amazing, the décor was nice, and the building was clean.
I highly recommend the Simsbury Inn!

** catering review **
I was very impressed by the quality of the food here. The crab cakes were some of the best I’ve had in Connecticut, and they did a delicious thing by adding shredded pork on top of a potato latke. The people who were circulating during the event were courteous.
I wasn’t totally impressed by the beer selection, though. The beer game could be stepped up.

Not specifically a review of the hotel, per se, but an overall negative impression left by employees for the second time. Considered booking our wedding here a few years ago but totally turned off by the lack of interest shown in earning our business by the woman we met with. Booked at the nearby Riverview and were really impressed by their facility and customer service.
Strike two when I called about reservations for Easter Brunch. Phone was answered in the restaurant by ‘Patrick’ who, without an ounce of friendliness, courtesy or customer service curtly said ‘We’re sold out’. Bravo man, awesome customer service skills.
Won’t attempt to give my money to them again. Plenty other choices in the area.

I went for Sunday brunch by invitation. It was fantastic. It was the Sunday before St Patrick’s day so the spread had an Irish spin. The food was amazing. Fresh fruit, crunchy salads and beautiful presentation. The dessert spread was just as impressive and everything was dyed green from the Whoopi pies to the rice Krispy treats. Worth the drive for brunch and I’ll definitely be going back.

My wife and I stayed here for a weekend getaway a few weeks ago, and only have great things to say about it. When there was a question about the room matching the over-​the-​phone original agreement, they didn’t hesitate to upgrade us to a larger room and made sure we were happy. We had arrived there after having dinner out, so we went to the bar/​lounge for a drink. While the lounge décor was looking a little tired, the bartender/​server was very accommodating and friendly.
We went for the Sunday brunch, which was amazing. The variety of dishes was impressive — and everything I tried was delicious. They had a guitarist/​singer playing while we ate, who was a nice balance between background and a focus — she had a beautiful voice and played of her own material and covers. We will be going back there just for the brunch, probably for a special occasion, and will arrive hungry! It was included in the package we bought, but it would have been on the pricy side (I believe $ 40/​person).
All told, this was a great find. The manager and every employee we encountered went out out of his or her way to make sure we were satisfied and comfortable. We will certainly return.

I got married at the Simsbury Inn in April of 2015 and had the most amazing experience. My husband and I were set on the idea of having everything in one place near our home towns — ceremony, reception, hotel, etc. Because of this, we were looking at Inns in Connecticut and came upon the Simsbury Inn through reviews and having stayed there once before for a wedding.
We booked the Inn in March of 2014 and from then on worked with Patti Candels who was absolutely amazing. She was attentive and extremely responsive through the entire planning process and made us feel at ease about planning a wedding in CT while living in NYC.
I reserved the bridal suite for the night before the wedding and the night of the wedding. I also reserved the Talcott Room, which is attached to the bridal suite, for the morning of the wedding. This room is PERFECT for getting ready. The tall windows let in a lot of natural light (perfect for make up and hair). The room has a small kitchen and another bathroom. It’s located at the top of the staircase which makes trips to the car for your glam team easy. It made the morning as stress-​free as possible as all I needed to do was open the adjoining door and step into the room. you can order in breakfast/​food from the Inn or bring in your own.
Our ceremony took place in the Laurel Ballroom (too cold /​weather too unpredictable to get married outside in April). We framed the «alter» with two pillars and large floral arrangements on the side of the room with their glass atrium. After the ceremony, we held the cocktail hour in the Evergreens restaurant while the room was turned over for the reception. After the cocktail hour, we were back in the Laurel Ballroom for the remainder of the evening. The staff was incredible through the entire evening and everything was executed as we had pictured.
The food at the cocktail hour and the reception was amazing. I wish I could have eaten more passed hors d’oeuvres (they are my favorite part of the wedding) but did get to enjoy each part of the meal (a little bit)! To top it all off, the wedding cake was fabulous. I found a fairly simple three tiered wedding cake online, brought the photo to Patti, and was told their in house pastry chef could make it happen. It was simple and elegant and most importantly, DELICIOUS! We received a few comments back about how tasty it was.
The ballroom and hallway leading up to it was also recently given fresh carpet, wallpaper and a coat of paint. I was more than happy with how it looked when we booked it but was blown away with how beautiful it was when I saw the room a month before our wedding. It went perfectly with our color scheme!
Overall, the Simsbury Inn deserves 5 stars for their hospitality, their staff, their food, and for Patti Candels. I am so happy we chose to have our wedding here and we hope to be able to get back to the Inn for our first wedding anniversary.

I got married at the Simsbury inn a few weeks ago and everything was OUTSTANDING; the food, the service and all the employees were wonderful. Patti had been super helpful for the past year by Always answering our emails right away and meeting us in person whenever we needed.
The entire staff there made sure everything went smoothly on the day of the wedding. When the wedding was over, we continued our party in the bar for 2 hours and then when the bar was closed we were able to move our party down to the lobby. Yes, there was an employee working there that asked us to keep it down a time or two. He wasn’t being rude, he was just doing his job.
If you want a beautiful venue with New England charm where all your guests can stay– I highly recommend The Simsbury Inn!

I just got married at the Simsbury Inn and I give them a 99%. Service was great, food was terrific and Patti was fanastic. We even had our own caterer lady at the sweetheart table, she was the best. My only complaint is the bar and its staff in the lobby area, they were soooooo rude. The security guard was rude and kept telling us to keep it down, although the rooms are far away. Listen — dont book weddings if you dont want drunk people having fun!

There may be a few things that make this less than ideal for the business traveler but time has proven, the great things about the Simsbury far outweigh the inconveniences. Great service and attentive staff. Good food and consistent cleanliness provide peace of mind when I’m in the area on business. More accessibly located electrical outlets would be great but, I won’t let good be the enemy of perfect.
The Simsbury is a winning choice!

I come to CT on business at least once a month and always stay here. The hotel is far from recently updated and the décor (quasi colonial) is not my cup of tea. But service is great and the food is good. It is comfortable and quiet. The sheets and towels are good. And the shower is good and hot.

I am staying here for a business trip. The front staff put me in a small room with very dated furniture upon learning we will use some corporate code. I get to compare because I stayed here last week as well without using the corporate code. So it’s a downgrade of room for lessor money rather than a discount. My room is very loud, seems to be above an ever running laundromat, and calls to front desk just went strsight to voicemail. Horrible customer service, or at least inconsistent.

I can’t say enough how great this place is. We definitely felt that it was a hidden jewel in the area. We spent one night there only but wished we didn’t have to leave. The front desk was super friendly and even upgraded us to a superior King room since we were celebrating a special occasion which was massive and beautifully decorated. The dinner was excellent and although they were understaffed in the kitchen, we hardly noticed. The place was perfectly clean and tidy. Breakfast was also delicious. The hot tub and the pool were just perfect. Half the room roofing was glass which was very nice since you could see the snow outside. I can’t really say a single bad thing about the entire experience. Definitely recommend and definitely coming back.

A beautiful Inn that is close to a lot. The rooms are classic yet modern and very relaxing. The pool area is beautiful and the other accommodations were great. It really felt like home. Evergreens restaurant, one of the restaurants inside the hotel, has amazing food for dinner. I could pick anything off the menu and would be completely happy with my choice. The sunday brunch is equally as spectacular, as there are many options and the quality is great. The complimentary glass of champagne was a great addition to brunch! A great place, whether you are getting married, staying the night, or just going for dinner or brunch!

Such a cute inn in such a cute area! The staff was attentive, breakfast was nice. They even offer free bike rentals! I’d definitely stay here again!

Wow, very bipolar in reviews (very positive or very negative).
We held our wedding reception on 9÷11÷2010 here. Maybe management has changed or they have different staff?
We met with the Simsbury Inn staff in June 2010 and were offered a 10% discount right off the bat since 9÷11÷2010 fell on a Saturday but nobody wanted to have their reception on that date. Given the late nature of negotiations (agreeing in May for September), we gladly went with it. So they are a little pricy (I think most of the time you’re looking at $ 80 – 125 per person ranging on number of appetizers and which entrée option you pick and this is without the discount and without service included), the service and presentation were impeccable.
The premises were very nicely kept and we have some nice outdoor pictures. The wedding party was given some nice sparkling wine and appetizers while the pictures were occurring. Our deejay (who will remain nameless) forgot to bring his own extension cords, so they prolonged our hors d’oeuvres time and played pleasant music while the deejay ran off to buy some extension cords at the local Best Buy (unfortunately 30 minutes+ away).
Dinner went very smoothly with no hitches, and the wedding cake was part of the package. (Oh yeah, you also get a dinner with your wedding cake prior to the event as part of your package plus on your first anniversary, you get your dinner and cake. And the wedding couple get a night at the Simsbury Inn.) Décor and lighting were fine. As was the sound system.
They did close the open bar during dinner but they had wine service … only okay to «affordable» wines. Something like $ 10 – 20 Woodbridge Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. I don’t think people really fully utilized the open bar, but nobody had a problem with any of the drinks either.
Reception lasted 5−10pm with around 80 – 90 people. People had a good time. A few people who came stayed at the inn and enjoyed their stay. We stayed the night of the wedding and it was a very spacious and comfortable room.
We had breakfast/​brunch at the inn (continental breakfast) but it was pretty elegant. You could of course add more.
So grand total: for 80 – 90 people at the reception and a very elegant looking reception, with the 10% discount and we added in service, it came up to around $ 10k. And people thought we spent like $ 20−25k.

Started out well with a friendly, accommodating front desk staff. Room was comfortable — nothing to write home about but decent. First night, the bar staff was friendly and welcoming. And then it went downhill.
We were here for a family wedding with about 75 people staying in the hotel. While 47 of us were fueling the revenues in the bar/​restaurant, we were rudely informed by Tony the security guy that «this isn’t a frat house» and we should quiet down (watching playoff hockey and cheering for a goal, mind you). In disbelief, all of us left and had an amazing meal and several drinks at Plan B (a great establishment a few miles away… check it out.) Easily $ 1200 – 1500 of revenue lost.
Upon returning after dinner, we opted (reluctantly) for a nightcap in the bar. Within minutes, last call was called (over an hour earlier than advertised) for no explanation. Everyone was in disbelief.
This place doesn’t get customer service. I am severely disappointed by the service and I only hope that my family’s wedding weekend wasn’t scarred by this. Management needs to change and they need to rearrange priorities. Unbelievable.

Clean room and sheets were appreciated.
Superior King room is fairly massive — with very comfortable pillows in accompaniment.
Some of the utilities in the bathroom appear older, as well as the thermostat.
Free Wifi + Continental Breakfast is a plus (try the walnut granola — it is pretty good!)
This place is a mix between what you would expect in a B&B and a regular hotel — the staff was friendly.

We come here frequently for family events such as bridal showers, baby showers, and family parties. This place never disappoints!
The Sunday brunch is amazing! Make sure you are super hungry! So much high quality, delicious food!
The service is always extremely friendly and helpful. We especially love the servers Carrie and Olga! They are the best!
Beautiful, country atmosphere and indulgent food!
