One night visit at this Inn while we were traveling through the Finger Lakes. Great location to explore the area. The Inn is tastefully and interestingly decorated with lots of antiques. Each room is different and has its own name. Lots of comfortable sitting rooms plus living room with couches and a pool table. Wonderful creative breakfast.

We appreciated the air condition after a very hot and muggy day. Parking on the street is the only option due to slight construction work being done by the owner. Roz was kind and gracious to us when we arrived.

Madison and Roz were very friendly at check in and asked about any dietary restrictions for breakfast. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable with high-thread count sheets. Breakfast was delicious and the dietary accommodation was greatly appreciated. Enjoyed our stay, the use of the pool table, and the breakfast chat with Steph. Great spot- close to downtown and casino.

This is a beautiful heritage home in the town of Waterloo, New York. It is a very short walk to downtown. We arrived early but we were welcomed and able to move to our room. Parking is available. The Statesman room was very comfortable. We also met a young resident artist, Catherine who also works at the Inn. A very comfortable front porch and living room. Breakfast was fresh and home made. The Star Restaurant was recommended and we were very impressed with both the service and our meal.

You will have an excellent stay if you are well versed on the extensive list of rules. Owner has very high expectations for guest behavior. A beautiful property, immaculately maintained with a rich history; owners emphasize the preservation of the property over the comfort of the guests; guests are treated as inconveniences in historic residence. Abundance of love notes sprinkled generously around property to encourage ideal guest behavior. Owner is prideful and unsympathetic to guest accommodations.

We are a couple traveling through Waterloo to visit the Harriet Tubman home. To our surprise, Waterloo is an historic town, particularly regarding Women’ rights and abolition. The Gridley Inn is located within the blocks of historic Waterloo. We were totally charmed by this historic home which was built about 1848. It has some original furnishings and on the walls, documents and pictures tell of its first inhabitants who founded a Music School with a theater, much appreciated by my husband, a classical composer. We so enjoyed meeting the owners, who were wonderful hosts,

The room was cozy and homey. Because of my bad knee it was a challenge climbing the stairs. Especially with luggage. Thankfully the hostess helped me with it. Must add that the inn was delightfully decorated. One drawback was there wasn’t a tv in the room. I should have asked why, but didn’t think of it when leaving. I loved that the inn was conveniently located near Main Street. Could walk to restaurants. Breakfast food was delicious. Would have been great if there was coffee available when first coming down. Any person that enjoys that first cup in the morning knows how important this beverage is. Also it was stated to me that food wasn’t allowed in the room. First time staying at a getaway that was a requirement. 🤔 Ok so all that being said, I would give my stay 4 stars.

Owner was not very friendly at checkin - just the instructions provided, no warmth. Breakfast was excellent food but time was set at 8:45 with no exceptions. Would have preferred open times even with less food.

Madison and Roz were very friendly at check in and asked about any dietary restrictions for breakfast. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable with high-thread count sheets. Breakfast was delicious and the dietary accommodation was greatly appreciated. Enjoyed our stay, the use of the pool table, and the breakfast chat with Steph. Great spot- close to downtown and casino.

Steph was a great host and her breakfasts were amazing. Very laid back and comfortable atmosphere and we appreciated the conversation with Steph during breakfast. We were in the area to see Mama Mia at the Landmark Theater in Syracuse, so it was a short stay for us. However, the Finger Lakes Region is great area with plenty to do during seasonal times Thank you Steph for a great stay!

Beautiful home. Excellent breakfasts. They do not permit eating in the bedrooms, which is okay by me. They have a 2 hour check in time and they are grumpy about people not calling ahead for a late check in - again, okay by me. They really encourage people to socialize at breakfast.
