    Good enough for an overnight but not for a stay

    We We didn't like all the restrictive rules (check-in time, breakfast time, checkout time). We did not like the parking situation. We especially did not like the email that told us that their time was more important than ours and that we would have to adjust our travel schedule to meet THEIR needs or wants. We especially didn't like their late fee for arriving after 6:00 PM. We did not like that the shower/vanity were open to the sleeping area. We could understand why but still didn't like it since I am an earlier riser and my wife is a late riser. All of these items were turnoffs. won't be returning even if we are in the area.

    The B&B was located OK for our travels but we probably wouldn't return. The room was large and the bed was comfortable. We liked it was near restaurants (one that we particularly enjoyed).

    What a B&B should be

    • Deluxe Queen Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    This house has been beautifully restored, with so many lovely design touches. It maintains its charm and character yet offers modern conveniences like a multiport charging device in the bedroom and a really great walk-in shower. Stephani, the host, was welcoming and accommodating and happy to engage in conversation. And she makes a great breakfast—a dutch baby fresh from the oven. The Gridley Inn is a short drive from Seneca Falls and for dinner I had excellent Mexican food at La Fiesta Brava just a two minute walk from the inn.

    The proprietors were very friendly, we had some funny exchanges. The breakfast was outstanding! We slept great, the bed in the room we were in was very comfortable.We understand details of the decor were worked on extensively by Stephani - lots of fun details like tin ceilings. It was a good stop on a multi-state drive!.

    More flavorful breakfast.

    It was nicely presented, however the strawberry was hard. The quiche seemed to be heated in a microwave making the inside very hot. Our host facilitated engaging and informative conversations with all the guests.

    The Gridley Inn is a beautiful and warm building with an interesting history. It is spacious and has a tasteful decor. It is conveniently located between Seneca and Cayuga Lake and is a perfect base to explore cities like Rochester, Geneva, and Ithaca. Wineries, Cider Houses, waterfalls, and museums are „just around the corner.“ Madison prepared an out of this world breakfast every morning and we were welcomed like family.

    Yes, downtown Waterloo's a bit down at the heels - though there are delicious restaurant choices nearby. But it's just a short hop to Seneca Falls and other places, too.

    The breakfast was delicious - though there was just the single offering - very well prepared. Steph, the host, regaled us with stories as we ate.

    The one suggestion I would make to the owners would be is to upgrade the toilet tissue.

    This was my second time staying at the Gridley Inn, and it was great. The decor of the Inn is historical and outstandingly beautiful. The beds are incredibly comfortable, and I slept very well. Instead of the typical breakfast buffet, the owners of the Inn actually cook up a wonderful meal for each guest in the morning. In the evening before I went to sleep I spent some time relaxing down stairs in the living room, reading and enjoying the surroundings.
