Very charming historic inn. Staff was nice and helpful upon check-in, and when i accidentally locked my key in the room. I booked the Bouvier room on the 3rd floor which was quiet and comfortable. Being a historic inn, I went in with the expectation that it would be low frills, which is was. But for the price, I think it's a great option for anyone staying in the Newtown area who wants historic charm and to be in the walkable State Street area.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The area is perfect and the staff very nice. The room was cute but small. The bed sat very high so you have to climb up into it and I'm a tall person. The toilet ran all night along and the handle was broke. The walls are very thin and we could hear the people in the rooms above and at the bar below very loudly through at least 3 am. So, was not able to sleep. I could see the benefits of cute historical building and nice area but I would not stay here again due to the noise, small/high bed, and desk in room was sticky.

This hotel is mediocre at best. The worst part were all the stairs that were spiral and steep. If you have trouble with stairs or bad knees or balance issues this place is not for you. The guy at the desk was nice and helpful but at check out there was no one to help with my luggage and I literally had to kick them down the stairs hoping I don’t break my neck. Also don’t expect anything to drink or eat. There wasn’t even any coffee or tea available. Usually places like this have coffee and some snacks. There was nothing. No view either, just the top of a roof. The parking is terrible. The man at the front desk told us to park around the back and that the door is always open but guess what. It was locked the day of check out and we had to go around the front then the back to get the car. We won’t be staying here again.

It’s fun staying in a b&b that is hundreds of years old. It’s beautiful. Just remember it is very old with floors that are uneven and steep winding stairs to get around. The staff is very friendly with a great bar and restaurant. If you have mobility issues with stairs or need large restrooms that are easily accessible, this is not the place for you. Had a great time.

Loved the Historic Charm!
My husband and I frequented The Temperance House restaurant and tavern and always wanted to know what the rooms were like. We were moving out of the area and had sold our house and needed housing for one night so I decided to surprise him. We stayed in one of the suites and the historic charm was incredible, but you have to value that charm. We had all the amenities we needed but it isn’t a modern hotel. Glad we went and would recommend to others.

Cannot say enough about how great the staff is at Temperance House. Everyone there treats you as though you're the only guest in the building. As far as the building, we loved the uneven floors and old-school character of the hotel. Made you feel like you traveled back in time. Would definitely stay there again.

Their warning that some tavern noise should be expected is greatly understated. The music from the live band at night was so loud that we could hardly hear our tv and could no way fall asleep after a long travel day. We checked out the very next morning explaining that the music was too loud. They offered a different room but given how loud the band was, we could not imagine that any of the rooms could be sufficiently quiet. We felt that we had a legitimate reason but they still charged us for a second night since we could not provide 24 hours advance notice. We therefore give them a one star rating. Of course, if you like loud live band music and going to bed late, then this place would be great.
