Stanton House Inn, situated in Greenwich, Connecticut, is a little slice of heaven, at least for me, and hopefully, for you too.
First and most importantly, it's only about an hour away from Manhattan, where I live, and easily accessible by public transportation. Second, although it is close in proximity to the city, is a whole different vibe from Manhattan, which I love. Greenwich has all of my favorite shops from which to shop and there are plenty of restaurants from which to dine, but is surrounded by tall trees, wide, open spaces, and smells so good, like nature should. Stanton House Inn is a ten to twenty minute walk from downtown Greenwich, which makes it perfect for exploring, at leisure, without a car.
The inn itself is staffed with the nicest, most helpful and courteous staff members and they are available to (happily) assist you in person or via text message (so convenient!!). I stayed in both the patio level room closest to the outdoor pool, and because I loved my first two nights so much, stayed an additional night on the third floor in the, "room with a view". Both rooms were very clean and stocked with soap, shampoo, conditioner, hair caps, makeup remover wipes, lots of towels, teas, coffee, mugs, and a mini fridge.
The grounds of the property is very well maintained. The grass is cut, the pools are clean (I witnessed myself the pool being cleaned in the early mornings) and there are bushes of colorful flowers to cheer you up. Also, a lot of baby bunnies and butterflies at any given moment are freely roaming to lift your spirits. The indoor common areas, though limited, are so relaxing. I loved listening to the record player in the living room and reading my novels the library.
In the morning, breakfast includes fresh juices, hot coffee, *delicious* assorted pastries (I had cinnamon rolls, coffee cake, fruit muffins), soft bagels, different cream cheese spreads, a big fruit platter (strawberries, blueberries, pineapples, etc.) and of course, a daily menu from which to choose your breakfast. In addition to this lovely breakfast, the inn provides guests with free bottles of water, Pellegrino, and flavored sparkling waters, as well as an assortment of granola bars, chips, pop corn, chocolate bites, etc (aka snacks!!). Any hotel in Manhattan would charge a ridiculous fee for what Stanton House Inn offers as a complimentary to their guests. I found this act of generosity as one indication that the inn truly cares about their business and guests.
The positive vibes and warmth I experienced during my stay at this inn means I'll never need to stay anywhere else when in Greenwich, Connecticut. In fact, it was so enjoyable that I am already anticipating/planning my next visit here! My stay has been such a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of my Manhattan apartment and job. To sum it all up: Stanton House Inn was a 10/10 stay and I can't wait to come back!
Thank you, Stanton Inn for an AWESOME stay!!!
