Weekend Getaway

Loved this hotel. It was close to downtown area. Very clean and friendly staff. Will definitely stay here again.
Leticia, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall, the hotel was beautiful, rooms were modern and clean. Pillows however were not very comfortable and somewhat small. Hotel grounds were the best part of our visit.

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!

Stunning Architecture, Exceptional Staff

This hotel is beautiful and lovingly preserved. Every staff member we met was friendly and went out of their way to answer questions, especially about the building’s history. Breakfast at the Second Draft was perfect (get the iced collagen coffee!) and we really enjoyed the spa. The historical walls are literally a foot thick, so you can’t hear a peep from adjacent guests’ rooms. There’s even an art gallery on the third floor. Can’t wait to visit again!

Beautiful historic building in a great location, close to downtown shops and restaurants! Very comfortable bed too!

Historic inn

Check-in was easy but clerk was not overly helpful. The hotel is very nice, our room was comfortable but very small. The shower water leaked through the door causing water to pool on the floor. Although my hubby tried to clean it up, I slid and fell on the floor. Luckily I caught myself so didn’t get hurt

We had a wonderful stay. Thank you.
Hoi, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent stay

Fun place to stay. Very comfortable but don't expect the normal room layout. If creaking floors bother you, ask for a room on the highest floor. The building is old with original flooring. That said, the little restaurant is superb. The cook is great and as she is the wait staff so is the staffing. There are places to sit and read or look out the windows at the views. The campus is quite lovely. It's history will interest many.

if you are nostalgic for old architecture and you don't mind squeaky floors and stairs then is a great place to stay to explore the area for a weekend.

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.
Sybil, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautifully restored property. Friendly and helpful staff. Other buildings are being restored so it would be excellent to have bistro or gastro pub on the property. Would definitely visit again if they ever do
