Inness

I love here!!

A two night stay was almost $4,000. Inness, in its current state is at best a $350 per night hotel charging $500-$1400 per night. It would seem the events such as weddings and the kids camp take precedence over the guests staying at the hotel. For example, the pool is unavailable until after 11am. The grounds are wildly overgrown and not maintained. The paths are difficult to use safely especially in the dark and/or bad weather. Other than walking through the overgrown grass, pool or golf there isn't much else to do there. The farmhouse rooms are basic. The room didn't get made up as the maid didn't speak english. She didn't understand being asked to come back in 5 minutes. The walls are very thin. You do hear everything. If someone is awake, the whole farmhouse will be. The locks on the doors only open and close with a push rather than a turn which makes a loud noise. So it's impossible to be quiet later at night. Breakfast is not included. However, some pretty nasty coffee is sometimes available in the kitchen area. $12 for a packet for chips. There's nothing else food wise at the farmhouse. The restaurant's food and service was great and reasonably priced. The SPA is very hard to get a reservation and tips are mandatory. The staff were very nice. There is a lot of potential at Inness and I did have a nice stay but it's embarrassingly overpriced and in desperate need of improvements. I can only assume they have run out of money after building all the cabins and have nothing left to maintain or run the hotel propelry. I wouldn't go back.

This could be the coolest place ever, but it's not, won't and never will be, because it will be copied much better, with no kinks, and the "in the know" peeps will move on. Imagine an upstate hotel on 225+ acres, but not enough parking, so you might have to wait and circle a while (12 minutes) before finding a spot in a muddy gravel lot. And for Eh-em, $1250, you get awesome Aesop products, but just two bottles of water and an exorbitantly priced mini-bar - like $13 for a beer! Come on guys. The Spa, which was fully booked is $275 for a an hour session, with a mandatory 18% tip included. Wait there's more, the restaurant. The space is loud but nice and the food delicious and well priced, but the service unacceptable. Lang waits for drinks, food delivered all at once, or the wrong order. We had four meals during the week, and by the end, we just had to laugh when our breakfast came ten minutes apart, or four appetizers arriving all at once. I'll never go back nor recommend it. For that price, ($1250/night), breakfast should be included, the minibar complimentary, the waitstaff properly trained, etc., etc. The photos of the property are awesome, the rest of the experience, not.

I was excited by the instagram posts. I attended a wedding here and drove with a bunch of friends from Manhattan. Understandably we were all thirsty. This is when the issues started. 1. Concierge at Check in- leaves a lot to be wanted. No offer of water upon arrival and when asked there were none. 2. Stayed in a bungalow and the floors were already in poor condition 3. We had to handle our own baggage 4. The property is vast and if you are staying in a bungalow beware....it is not landscaped (ie. weeds all around and no build in steps) it was raining a lot and i nearly broke my ankle. Property drivers should have had umbrellas for us and guided our walks. 5. We had lunch and they completely got our entire order wrong and charged us 5x when we ordered only 2 portions. Whatever shrugged that off too. 6. For the price tag there should be basic toileteries like makeup remover etc. in the room Also familities staying here beware...they will close the main pool by 4pm daily to prepare for wedding events which there are every weekend. And there isn't much else to do. All in all this is a summer camp for adults.
