GLENN, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was very helpful & very nice. The waiter at breakfast gave us the history of the hotel that was very interesting.
Aimee L, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We loved the historical feel, but the rooms themselves were dated and sparse. Coffee and water would have been nice in the lobby… we did not try the restaurant. The gym was in a separate building a short hike up hill, but a good warm-up. Having to sign out for a key was a little cumbersome, but the gym was adequate for a small hotel.
Alice, 1-night trip

Beautiful location. And I loved the Old Town.

4/10 Fair

Did not eat breakfast…room was entirely too small…charged twice as much as original rate when I booked in September. The price which I booked was not honored. When I protested I was told that I was being charged their normal rate but rates changed all the time. This was our first and last time to stay there!

Fun and Convenient!

Such a beautiful hotel! And the staff we encountered were super friendly and answered all our probing questions! Thank you Brooklyn, AnnaMaria, and the other ladies at the front desk! Very convenient, just a short walk to everything in town! Highly recommend staying here!
Melissa, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is beautiful in a large estate-like property so it is very grand. The area is quiet but close to the town. You can walk to town (about 12 minute walk). The room was small (we got the classic room) but comfortable since we didn't spent much time there as we were in town most of the day. I would stay there again. It has great history.

For something different

Very interesting history to this Inn, it will appeal to some folks just for that reason, but it is lovely, clean and modernized. Beautiful setting in Staunton and within walking distance of downtown and restaurants.
