Robert Morris Inn - A Waterfront Country Inn

This place is a trip back in time; slanted floors, door jams, etc. Our experience was not the "antiquey" B&B feel that we were hoping for. It was just an old historic building with a little charm. Our room was small, but adjoined a bathroom and then a sitting room on the other side of the bathroom. The A/C worked and made the room comfortable and the bed was nice. We had a great night sleep. We did not have dinner there so we cannot comment on the food. I feel that it was a little expensive for what we got so we probably will not return. I understand that the Inn has recently changed ownership so I'm hoping they take the time to restore this potential beauty to its potential.

The best part was leaving. It was a disaster— no front desk staff, cold cream of crab soup, dirty handrails leading to the room complete with bird poop. The smoke alarm was dangling from the ceiling and the window curtain was pulled off the wall on one end and disconnected at the other. There is long standing debris in the yard and no one was working on repairs. The place was devoid of guests and I understand why. I recommend closing the place until it is ready for business again.

Hard time getting hot water in our room -- the shower eventually produced warm water after letting it run for about 10 minutes. Not a happy experience overall -- the lobby has an intensely musty smell which continues upstairs. I think they are in the process of remodeling on the first floor, which might be the reason for the smell. There is no staff around -- just one young lady early in the morning. It was baking hot on the third floor where we stayed -- and we don't expect central air or anything in an old building, but the result is we had to have the window unit blasting all night, with the attendant noise. Our room was supposed to have an "water view" which was kind of a joke because the narrow, dusty window facing the river is blocked by a heavy old dark venetian blind and a large antique-looking lamp. We've been coming to Oxford for years and I know RMI is under new management. Maybe things will be looking up eventually.

The Robert Morris Inn is a very nice, quaint, and charming 1710 Inn. It's a nice place to unwind. The staff was very helpful and friendly and always promptly addressed any needs that we had. We stayed in one of the separate cottages which had a nice view out over the Tred Avon River.

We have stayed in the historic main inn and in both Bottle 1 and 2. (The halves of a cottage that allow pets.) This visit was sad. Ownership has recently changed and they haven't figured things out yet. Like removing a very old used coffee pod as well as cleaning the scummy water reservoir on the coffee machine. The amount of debris/dirt behind the nightstand (which I found while plugging in my charger) was gross. Peeling wallpaper. You get the picture. Yes! In June they are offering 50% off room rates!!!!! But there is NOwhere in Oxford to get a hot breakfast while they figure out how to reopen their restaurant. Call the inn and ask lots of pointed questions on their status before you book. It used to be a favorite of ours.

We live nearby and have stayed at the Inn several times, Room 2 is our favorite!! Bathroom is small but everything else is very roomy. Beautiful view of the Tred Avon from the corner windows. Also, very accessible location at the top of the stairs. Food and drink at the Inn are amazing for all meals. Our favorite place to eat whenever we are in town -which is often. BTW- we have never had any experiences with haunting - although I can imagine the spirits might enjoy staying there!
