The stay was wonderful. Good, friendly service. The only thing that would have made the stay better was if there had been at least 4 towels and wash clothes in the bathroom.

Amazing historic hotel close to downtown Staunton
This is a one-of-a-kind historic beautiful hotel. We have stayed there before and made sure that we could stay again on our route down South. Just coming up the main driveway is hugely impressive and you see the splendour of this property, especially when illuminated at night. The staff at check-in was very friendly, personable and helpful and made us feel welcome. The room was clean, spacious and well appointed. The location is great, within a short walk to historic and quaint downtown Staunton with its beautiful shops and plenty of restaurants. All staff we talked to was super nice. It was quiet and relaxing. The architecture is nothing short of amazing, just look at the spiral staircase. We would definitely stay there again. Highly recommended and very special experience.

Switch Not Courtesy - Comes With Cost
We booked through Hotels.com and upon arrival realized we had been booked in a handicap room with a very sad shower. As we went to check on a reservation for later they ask about our room and ask if we would like to switch rooms. We said that would be great. We were charged $33 more for a much..much smaller room. We had to turn sideways to pass in the hall between the coffee pot and the bathroom. We were not happy as they were not full.

Unfortunately, during this stay the breakfast and the staff preparing and serving it were far below the standard for the rest of the hotel. The breakfast area was very cold, the french press coffee was made with the wrong grounds and was full of sludge, the kitchen did not have any lighter fare except toast that was served cold with rock hard butter and only one option for jam while the signature dish was missing mushrooms, a key ingredient; and service took almost 45 minutes. For the rest of the arts of the stay, the hotel was great as usual and we will come back, but we will get breakfast out, as we did on our second morning.

Surprise view 😉
We were in awe when we first pulled up. The front desk personnel were so nice. The room was cozy and clean. We were not a fan of the creaky hardwood floors, but not a deal breaker. But you must climb the spiral staircase and go out on the observatory. Breath taking☺️

Didn’t know this was an old Insane Asylum. Doors are prison like. Actually pretty creepy place. Hallways reminded me of The Shining. It’s clean but the history was a bit much for my taste.

Very nice, but a little spooky. I did not realize that this used to be a mental hospital, so that’s on me. Very clean, and it’s gorgeous keeping the historical brick and wood, but adding a modern touch with the renovations. Cute little breakfast spot inside the hotel

We love staying here! The rooms are a nice size, check in is easy, and we love that it’s dog friendly. It’s the perfect spot to spend a little Staunton getaway! The pillows aren’t my favorite-a little small and soft, but everything else is great. They still give you a little lotion, shower cap and q tips in the bathroom which is nice, and the bathrooms are big and bright. We’ve stayed here twice and we’ll be back!

The hotel was nice and the morning staff was friendly. The evening person wasn’t very friendly or helpful too be honest. I would recommend the room service at all. I was extremely disappointed that they would charge $18 for 4 overcooked slices of bacon and brownish eggs in a to go bag. The bread was stale and the jelly was expired. No idea why they would charge so much for an awful breakfast. I ended up throwing it out and going else where. The rooms are large but lack proper cleaning in common areas. The hotel overall could use an update/clean. The best part of my visit was the spa. The spa was super clean and calming. I got an amazing orange clove massage that was to die for.
