This was one of the best getaways we have had. Granted they do not tailor to families with children, we had a very good experience. They try to satisfy every request you make and it has a very personal feel to it. I highly recommend this. Must visit Grey Towers!

Because my boyfriend and I had just spent a night surrounded by mirrors in the weirdest hotel on the face of the planet, Hotel Fauchere was a heaven-sent beacon to us. Regardless of this comparison, however, this hotel was lovely, charming, beautiful, and perfectly relaxing.
It is located on a beautiful old-school main-ish street, with a postcard-y view of the mountains as the backdrop. Gorgeous. The hotel itself looks like a stately private residence with wooden rocking chairs relaxing on its wraparound porch. Beautiful. Once inside, they do not have a typical reception area but a sitting room in which to check-in, they then showed us to our room personally, answered all my questions about the history of the hotel, and made sure we were set with dinner reservations for the evening. We learned that the history of the hotel is closely intertwined with that of its restaurant and flourished because of its close relationship with the Delmonico, one of the most famous NYC restaurants in American history. I loved every second of that.
Our superior room was simultaneously plush and understated, the bed was a cloud of down and Italian linens, the bathroom floor was warm with radiant heat, and the shower was luxuriously excessive with several shower heads. At sunset, we sat on the rocking chairs the front porch and enjoyed a couple cocktails before heading down to the ground level of the hotel for dinner. After a great meal, we floated back up to our room, satiated and starry-eyed.
If ever you find yourself in or around Milford, I highly recommend that you enjoy an evening here.Listed in: Somewhere in the Middle of…

The Emperor's New Clothes - Psssst - he's naked!
The poor very young lady who greeted us at the desk also had to haul up our weekend and shopping bags up a steep flight of stairs. I offered to carry my own bags but was told it was not permitted. It was sort of pathetic watching this pretty young lady lugging up 3 suit cases and several shopping bags. It's the rules, I was told a second time.
I was shocked at how tiny the rooms were and that they had little tiny closets and no dressers at all. NO dressers! What is that about at these prices? $350.00 per night - 2 night minimum and the hotel had hardly any guests in it to begin with! They should be happy anyone would want to stay one night! Our DELUXE room over looked the back parking lot, which they call the garden.
The bed was comfortable but oddly enough the blanket was only for 1 person. The bed came with 2 blankets, one for me and one for my mate. When I asked for a larger blanket so we could get under the blanket together I was told that the hotel only stocked European blankets! Now I've been to Europe a number of times and never had a small blanket that I couldn't share with my mate, but the manager told me that was what they do. I think the manager considers Scranton European.
Also, there is no top sheet on the bed. NO TOP SHEETS? That's too strange. You actually have to sleep with just the slim down blanket so don't get too warm or too frisky!
There was no heat in my room so they moved me to another room down the hall that had a leak in the ceiling. They did compensate with a bottle of wine, so I had no sheets, a small blanket, no dresser and a bottle of wine.
The wall sconce on my side of the bed fell off the wall when I turned it off but by the time that happened we knew we were in for a ride and just laughed at how expensive this broken down palace was and we made a weekend of it.
Oh, and the bathtub is something else too. Its very cool looking, marble and narrow with a cheap plastic curtain that wraps around your body as the spray picks up and it is impossible to get to the soaps or shampoo because you're actually taking a shower wrapped in the shower curtain.
You have to experience this to believe it.
A romantic weekend? No, just a lot of attitude with nothing to back it up. The town is lovely, that is true but I could sit any where and have a cup of coffee and breakfast - which is not included in the price of the hotel to begin with unless of course yogurt and vanilla beans satisfy you. -

A very pleasant hotel, in a very pleasant town.
My reservation was last minute and I was given a good rate for a room with a large balcony overlooking their lovely garden. A complementary bottle of wine, water and pleasant toiletries were provided.
The first night I ate in the Delmonico Room and the second in the Bar Louis. Both were good experiences, particularly the Delmonico Room which is worth the expense.
I should also make mention of what a special experience breakfast was. Both days I sat at a table on a portion of the porch that is attached to the restaurant and provides great views of the main street. Watching the world go by with a fresh cup of coffee is a lovely way to start the morning.
Without hesitation, I would recommend this establishment to the discerning traveller looking to get away for a few very pleasant days. -

What a place! It's only 90 minutes from NYC in the Delaware Water Gap. This hotel was supposedly a hoppin' place way back in the day, and it's been totally renovated with fantastic results! We were surprised that with an older looking building, the rooms would have luxuries like an iPod station, wireless, flat-screen TV and warmed floors (whatever that's called).
The food in the restaurant is top-notch! I had the rockfish, and my partner had the ribeye. My only complaint was my stomach was too small. Well, there was room for dessert but barely. Who can resist poached pear? If you're picky about coffee, have it here. As a west coaster, this is right up there with Peet's, maybe even a bit nicer. Then we waddled downstairs to have a drink in the Bar Louie, in the cellar. Looks like someone dropped a New York hip bar in the middle of the woods! Holy crap, a huge photo of Andy Warhal kissing John Lennon!
It ain't a budget hotel, but if you want a peaceful getaway in one of those picturesque small towns you see in movies, AND you want to treat yourself, this is the place. Very peaceful... -

I never stayed in the Hotel so the review is only for the restaurant. The place is very nice. Service is good. The food is mediocre and expensive. The prices are as high as a Manhattan restaurant. The food quality is not. My wife had foie gras and was terrible. It almost tasted like pate from a can. I had breakfast lunch and dinner, so I can compare. The breakfast is O, nothing different that a dinner in Manhattan. The lunch is not bad. The dinner is mediocre. We had the same food at lunch and at dinner. The lunch food was 10 times better. As far as the Delmonico room, you must be crazy to pend over $100 for a prix fix, when they can not cook simple items on the bar menue. Overall a very expensive, mediocre restaurant, with good service. Lunch would be the only time I would go.
