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.

Should provide fresh towels to customer everyday; and
put up non-translucent curtains that maintain privacy and dark for early morning. Great stay overall.

We do not change out towels for one and two night stays in order to cut down on water and sewer usage. This is a common practice throughout the industry. On longer stays, we changed the towels after a second night stay.I'm confused about the curtain comment as every room has room darkening curtains.

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,
