The Buxton Inn

Comfortable bed, excellent bathroom and shower. We enjoyed our stay at Buxton. Easy walking to all of the interesting restaurants and stores on the main street and to Dennison. You need to understand that this is a historic facility. If you are on the 2nd floor, no elevator. They could also make it easier to find an open plug for CPAP and recharging your phone. The included breakfast fell a little flat. Overall, however, I am very happy to recommend this inn.

The Buxton was a great hotel to stay at! We were there for a wedding and the whole wedding was staying there which made it so fun. We had a great balcony that overlooked the courtyard. There was a fun gameroom as well. Overall, I would absolutely stay there again. It was great!

Great staff and such a nice place for a large group.Our wedding family and friends were all together and the courtyard was perfect for gathering.

The Inn and the surrounding buildings are very old and nicely decorated. Parking is onsite but it was a rainy night so prepare to be damp if it is rainy when you arrive.

THIS IS NOT A HILTON OR HOLIDAY INN! But that’s what’s so great about it! Beautifully kept and maintained historic inn! Rich with history. Lots of original things and then some very cute and tasteful updates. Beds were comfy. Access is easy. We parked right next to our building. There are lots of shops and dining options that are a 2 minute walk from the inn. I had my 12 year old daughter and she “low key” loved it, too.

This is a very nice BNB with period houses around the main turned into bedrooms. Some are on the second floor with no elevator as you might expect. Very clean and tidy. Unfortunately the local water smelled and tasted of chlorine.

Great place to stay for out of town guests and wedding party. Had our rehearsal dinner Friday night and it was great everyone could hang in courtyard after and then go to room. In town so walkable to ice cream, meals and drug store. Rooms unique and clean. Highly recommend. Not your “normal” hotel. A must try.

Great historic inn!! Staff was friendly and the facilities were great for staying and socializing, especially for a large party.

We always enjoy staying at the Buxton Inn. It has great character and friendly staff. The rooms are historically old but comfortable with clean updated bathrooms. We stayed in a large suite in the Tyre building with a great shared patio. The staff seemed strained this visit possibly due to a private event.

This is a very charming old hotel, but it has seen better days. Our room was spotlessly clean, but the shade over window on the door had been removed and the door knobs were loose and jiggly. The bathroom ceiling had a large, saggy patch which actively dripped water after the water ran in the room above us. The continental breakfast was limited to a few brown bananas, apples specifically labeled as “unwashed” (but with no sink to wash them?!?) stale bagels, and and handful of single serve cereals and yogurt cups. For $250/a night it seems like they could do better. That said, the desk staff was friendly and helpful, the hotel grounds and architecture are beautiful, parking was capacious, and it is an easy walk to the shops and restaurants of downtown Granville.

Very nice place. Well maintained. Room was very clean and a/c was great! Great overall experience

Welcoming staff. Very cean room. Great location.

Best place I've stayed at in a long time. Everyone is very friendly, everything was beautiful and very clean. The bed was very comfortable and the room cozy.

The Buxton Inn is absolutely charming. The rooms are lovely, clean and comfortable; the staff is welcoming and accommodating; and the location and proximity to downtown Granville is fantastic.

We had a terrific stay at the Buxton Inn. Our king bedroom was spotless, with a modern 2 vanity sink and barn shower doors. The grounds are so pretty and tranquil with a couple of waterfalls splashing- it made reading outside relaxing - love the porch ceiling fan too! We’ll be back!

The Inn was clean and in great condition. It was so much better than staying at a typical chain hotel. I will stay here again the next time I am back in town.

Beautiful Inn in Granville with a storied history. Easy walking distance to restaurants and Denison. Unfortunately, during our one night stay on a 90 degree day the air conditioning failed and since we checked in later in the evening, it was too late to speak with the front desk after arriving back from dinner. No fan, no way to open windows, and we didn’t want to sleep on the street level with the door open. We later learned a pipe broke and was forcing steam into the room. It was 80 degrees according to the thermostat! Luckily we showered quite early, and we were lucky we did, because the water was promptly shut off - without notice. The broken pipe caused a problem in the basement, so shutting the water off was the only option. The response from the front desk was, “old house problems.” Would’ve been nice to receive some sort of concession, but the only option was to head out.

The room & surrounding areas could've been cleaner. We heard from local people that the property is for sale. It's obvious in the condition of the property. Was disappointing.

I came here just for an overnight getaway and was not disappointed! I stayed in the Pearl House, and it was beautiful. I absolutely love the history of the inn. Do keep in mind, though, that with an old property like this one come several expected conditions. The walls were very thin, and I could hear my neighbors all night (this was probably more problematic because I stayed the Saturday night before St. Paddy's Day), and the room made me sneeze quite a bit. Everything was clean and tidy, though, and I would definitely go back! (Also, I encountered no ghosts!)

Lovely large room with two beds. I enjoyed the charm of the Buxton Inn.

We had a great experience staying at the Buxton. It’s in a quaint little town, has friendly folks, and it felt cool to stay in a place that Abe Lincoln stayed at in the past! Rooms were surprisingly comfy, and the bathrooms didn’t feel dated at all.

The hard to achieve meld of charm with modern conveniences! A truly lovely property hosted by those taking pride in their inn and their service. I look forward to my next visit.

Federalist era property and buildings with tastefully modernized accommodations.

I stayed one night. There was no staff member on-site after 9:00 p.m. There was no desk in the room: there was room for one; sitting on the bed with one's laptop & belongings spread all over is not pleasant. I had to call the man at the desk shortly after I check in to fix the TV. And, by the way, a guest can't actually call the front desk: You have to call their regular reservation line, listen to their voicemail tree about marketing staff, special events, etc., just to reach the front desk. Breakfast was a joke! I don't even know where to start with that. Hampton Inn's offer far superior breakfasts! Over-all the property is tired and over-priced.

Quaint, but front desk seemed annoyed at check in. Room was freezing during the night.

Typical for older building. Check in was easy. Unfortunately, the A\C or any airflow was not working and in a room with windows that don’t open. my room was ground floor & opened directly on to Main Street. I ended up opening my front door and wedging open the back door just for airflow. Clearly problematic given I had a Direct line of sight from cars or people Walking by from my bed. Did not sleep well as a result. My only solace was going to be a hot shower in the morning and unfortunately after 10 minutes after waiting for the hot water, it never warmed up. I informed them early in the morning of both of these issues with hope they could at least fix the hot water before checking out. Unfortunately, the shower water was still cold and when I asked the front desk he said that the maintenance did not see anything wrong with either. Unhelpful. I ended up taking a shower at my son’s dorm. I instead politely asked for them to waive my room fee or give me a significant discount and ended up making this request via email to the manager and further cited another posted review similar review left by someone that must have stayed in the room the following night). Unfortunately, my reply was very unprofessional and perhaps one of the worst examples of customer service I have ever experienced.

The staff was exceptional!! Love the old school vibe.

I stayed two nights while attending a wedding across the street. I loved my room, it had a charming historic feel to it, without feeling old or dated. Very clean and comfortable. Amazing service. I arrived at noon after an all night flight and they allowed me to check in 3 hours early. When I asked the night clerk for some herbal tea to help me sleep, there was plenty to choose from in the breakfast room. He offered me to take any breakfast food I wanted as well so I wouldn't have to come again in the morning. Overall, I felt the personnel were kind and caring. Five stars!

I had one of the most frustrating and disappointing experiences with the Buxton Inn. I booked my stay through Expedia and at no point was I made aware of their 9 PM check-in cutoff. My flight was delayed, forcing me to rebook at the last minute, and I still made every effort to arrive as early as possible. I even contacted the hotel and left a handwritten note. Despite all of this, the hotel refused to accommodate me, refused to refund me for the first night, and left me stranded late at night having to book another hotel out of pocket. To make matters worse, when I raised this issue with management, the response was dismissive. They essentially hid behind “policy” rather than exercising any level of professionalism, empathy, or basic customer service. Most hotels understand that travel delays are out of the guest’s control, and will work with you. Not here. This experience cost me extra money, unnecessary stress, and wasted time. To add insult to injury, the information about the 9 PM cutoff was not disclosed anywhere on my Expedia booking.

As always, the service at the Buxton Inn is top notch. It’s always a pleasure to stay when we are in Granville.

Greatest property close to restaurants

Beautiful hotel. Great service. Perfect l9cation

The Buxton Inn is in a great walkable quiet neighborhood with a hometown feel.

Lovely historic property in downtown Granville. Close to dining and shopping. Friendly, helpful staff.

We could not have asked for a better place to stay than the Buxton Inn. Our room was perfect with amazing surprising details! The history of the place was just as amazing (Abraham Lincoln to Yo Yo Ma have stayed there). We only wish we had time to stay longer. The town of Granville is so quaint and lovely with walking, shops and a farmers market. We will definitely be back ☺️

Outstanding historical place to stay. Will definitely come back. Great location across street from restaurants and pubs

Great location in downtown Granville.

Plumbing: Twice we had no running water and during the night we were disturbed a number of times by strange noises from the plumbing. Electric: The light switch next to the room entrance door was warm to the touch indicating some sort of electrical problem. Bath: The room description said that the room had a bath tub whereas it actually has a nice large shower. The Tavern bar: Closed despite the phone system message system saying that it was open. Value for Money: I don't believe this hotel offers value for money compared with another nearby property.

Breakfast buffet was very limited and of poor quality. The desk in our room was too small to work at. Bathroom had no counter space to put personal toiletries. Staff were attentive and polite. Enjoyed the tavern.

Comfy and cozy! Staff is excellent. Plenty of places to eat and little shops. As of know the restaurant in the hotel is not open, from the fire, but there are plenty of places within walking distance.

The staff were very helpful. The main problem was, no restaurant or bar Sunday through Wednesday.

I’d wish that somewhere on their website it would list “most haunted Inn in Ohio” like it does in the brochure upon arrival. I would have never opted to stay in a place like that had I known. I really didn’t appreciate that literature left in our room. Additionally breakfast was pretty pitiful. I was hoping for a bed and breakfast type of feel, instead it was boxed cereal and apples. Several guest walked into the breakfast area and promptly walked straight out. On a positive note the room was clean and comfortable. However hallway lights and noise are unavoidable

Wish the restaurant was open

Old time charm, arrived at 3:00 pm for check in..room was not ready for another 40 minutes. Breakfast selection is limited, no decafe coffee. Overall acceptable but will consider other options in future. Big problem is only one other hotel in town and both are convenient to Denison University, otherwise one must go miles away.

The gold room was nice for two adults and a child. The breakfast is not good.
