I liked the room a lot, and the menu was intriguing. However when I arrived there was no staff to assist. I had to get my key from a lock box and navigate the building alone. I never found the parking. It was so disappointing to learn that even though Expedia, Google, and the Inn's own website listed their restaurant as OPEN that evening, it was not. I had to go out and find food in the middle of nowhere. With staff I would give top ratings, but unstaffed I feel mediocre at best.

The location was perfect for what we came there for. The property itself is very old and needs a total renovation. The carpet throughout the facility was filthy and the mildew smell was everywhere. The people we met where very friendly and the staff was very nice. We stayed because there was no where else to stay. Not to mention the annoying siren. For a moment we thought it was "The Purge". The hotel needs a lot of work. Sorry, just being honest...

The inn was cool but not well kept up. Needs some repairs and TLC. They were out of some food and drink each meal. Not the cleanest.

Lovely little inn with friendly staff. Very cozy and clean room. Unfortunately next to a fire station which lead to a panic when I heard the sirens about midnight.

I loved this place. There was an update in 2016 and someone made the mistake of getting white carpet. Live and learn. The bed was comfortable, there was a variety of pillows, the tavern shuts down at 9:00 so its all quiet by 11:00 p.m. The tavern is superb. I’d eat there again in a heartbeat. The place is old and has some quirks and that’s something that you either like because you like historical places or you don’t because you like modern things. I’d stay here again.

The Historic nature of the property is the NUMBER ONE REASON to stay and return! It's 270 years old AND George Washington and his family DID ACTUALLY STAY THERE!!! The property has all the indications of that advanced age and it is charming and fun. Clean, spacious rooms with updated lovely en-suite. We intend to return in May 2023.

There's lots to like about this property, but the staff members really deserve recognition for their outstanding service and absolutely elevate the experience of staying at the Washington Inn and Tavern. The Inn is very quaint, beds were comfortable and parking was easy and plentiful. The common areas are charming and the front porch is a great spot to enjoy this small picturesque town. The food at the tavern was fantastic and service was the best - very attentive and put the needs of the customer first. Breakfast was a one-man show and he really did it all - cooked, served and dished up suggestions of things to do in the area along with directions to get there, too. I enjoyed the historic feel of the Inn, but stayed in a more modernized room with king sized bed. On my next stay, I'd opt for the smaller queen sized room with canopy bed and non-working fireplace just to get more of that historic vibe. Like others have posted, the wall-to-wall carpeting in the upstairs lodging area really needs to be cleaned, but it does help with soundproofing. My room was quiet and I didn't hear any noise from the tavern or common areas downstairs.

This property is like a bed and breakfast without the modern amenities. The hotel rooms are on the 2nd floor of a small and narrow stairwell. If you have any issues with climbing floors, please do not choose this hotel. The rooms are nice but small and need to be updated.

Is next to the fire station the two days we were there the loud alarm went off at 7:04 AM and next day at 6:30 AM that’s how they let the volunteer firefighters know they need them to come in.

Our room appeared very clean, bedding fresh and comfortable, had Keurig coffee maker and fresh bottled water. Bathroom and shower was very neat and clean, with its own heater. Our room was located on first floor right beside the Inn’s tavern and was noisy. Could hear customers and staff talking, dishes being collected, vacuuming. Breakfast was included in our room rate, was very good and wait time was short. Only one wait staff working breakfast orders but she was very friendly and accommodating.

Air raid siren!

The biggest issue is it’s right next door to the volunteer fire department and the call in the volunteers using an air raid siren. If a fit is called in at night, it’s quite the rude awakening!
