Mayflower Inn & Spa, Auberge Resorts Collection

Apr 6th, 2024

I highly recommend this peaceful Connecticut retreat! I stayed at the Inn with my small dog, and all staff at both the Inn and Spa were welcoming and accommodating throughout our 4 days. All of my requests from booking to departure were met with a smile. They made a point to know my name and provided special touches to make it a memorable getaway. Though pricey, the food was good. I especially enjoyed the Farrotto for dinner and the Overnight oats for breakfast. Trying something different off the menu made it worth it, including fresh juices. Yum! Room Service dining was appreciated so that I could enjoy extra down time with my pup, a main purpose of our time away! The spa at the Well was equally attentive to individual needs and it was a relaxing experience. I enjoyed all three services and the simple clean ambiance of the spa. The complimentary Yoga classes were exceptional, and we loved the hilly green space provided by the property of the Inn and spa. The complimentary inn amenities and spa amenities were great. I also appreciated the smores basket and fire pit at dusk for additional relaxing and smiles (while pup appreciated the graham crackers too!). Take advantage of the on-property hiking trail as well as local hiking trails. Theyre beautiful! The front desk was great with providing detailed info and maps! I hope to return to The Mayflower one day and am blessed by the relaxation received there.

My husband and I went to The Well and The Mayflower Inn in celebration of my 40th Birthday, and it was so disappointing. We set out to find a luxurious establishment with great food, beautiful spa, and top notch accommodations- that is not what we received. Set with no budget, we were fooled by many of the positive reviews. It seems like the reviews come from people who just want to say they went here, not for people truly looking at this poorly run establishment. For others, I felt it necessary to post my honest experience. The Well along with The Mayflower Inn may have once in time been a luxurious getaway, but it is now a shell of what it once had been. Traveling around the resort we were regularly met with eyesores and actually maintenance needs. The Well: Robes were old and had the "yellowed old white color" Pool was in need of much maintenance with a large corroded metal beam on one side of the pool exposed and dangerous Build-up/mildew black and white were growing in corners of pool and spa Spa was surrounded with dusty unkept fake foliage Charcuterie tray $29 came on a small plate and contained one single strawberry cut in half along with three slices of cheese, three slices of meat, and something that may have once been a cracker but was now hard broken pieces of... what I still do not know. The MayFlower Inn: Upon entrance you are greeted with broken bluestone/slate chips and chunks which you must avoid. The main lobby is a perfect example of a hotel posing as a rich and luxurious establishment. From the doctored Ikea furniture and decor to the massive FAKE and incredibly dusty tree. It was so disappointing. The gift store within the hotel offers $850 jackets, which is a humorous contrast to the inexpensive, poorly maintained and tacky surrounding. Contact paper cannot pose as luxurious wallpaper- its plastic. Surprise- your room may not be in the main hotel. Unaware of this I had to walk carrying a glass of champagne which spilled all down the sleeve of my jacket as I hiked to our room. Guests should not be offered complimentary beverages prior to a downhill walk. In room- the faux luxury continued. The plastic shower head dripped water and made the shower just unenjoyable. Plus the heat in the room was so absurdly loud each time it turned on we were awoken throughout the night. A map of the grounds is provided upon welcome. You can then walk from location to location to see where maintenance is needed. The chef's garden is unkept and the gate was broken and hanging from its hinges. The Shakespearean garden is so unkept my hip width was too large to walk through without ruining my jacket (I am not a large women). The putting green has two cups projecting out of the ground surrounded with cement. The pathways of bluestone/ slate are cracking and chipping off in many locations. In closing- the meal and the atmosphere of SMOKE from outdoor fireplaces at The Tap Room was so awful. Our waiter felt no need to address the absurd amount of bones in our sea bass, only offering to tell the distributor for us, WHAT!! My husband and I found ourselves having a single bad cocktail, hungry and back in our room before eight thirty. We slept in hopes of leaving. It was clear we were not satisfied and no one did anything about it. Staff is young and seemed untrained for someplace boasting such high standards and prices. At the Mayflower Inn, you do not get what you pay for. So very disappointing.
