Very cool in with history In both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. So near to stay in an ancient inn where George Washington stayed during the war!

I was warmly greeted the moment I walked in to check in and was then escorted to my room. The room was immaculate and the bed so comfortable. Not a speck of mold or mildew in the bathroom. Despite the age of the Inn, it was in such nice shape and so well maintained. This Inn is loved by the owners who clearly take pride in it.

We loved the uniqueness of the property and the bedrooms were perfect for our stay. We would have liked a coffee machine in the room or access to one for early morning risers. That being said, Amber came in extra early to provide us breakfast and that was much appreciated. We will definitely be back with more members of our family. Also Music Trivia was a fantastic surprise!

Awesome history!
Such an interesting place to stay. Make sure to talk to the front desk about the history of the land and building. It was a fun history lesson for our children. We did not have an opportunity to stay in a historic room (as we booked last minute), but the newly updated rooms were fresh, clean, and nice.

Strange experience
Very strange hotel. We were rushed away to our room before entering the building. Told nothing about the breakfast (I had to call and even then was told it was "grab and go" so not at all as advertised. Other strangeness was no iron/ironing board and no garbage can in the room, only a small one in the bathroom. Just lacked some basic amenities that all rooms should now have. Small and dark room.

We celebrated Our 26th anniversary here. We had a cozy room in the old section of the Inn. They have three areas for dining. A larger, pretty dining room, A tiny room in the original building with a large fireplace, historical photos, and small amount of seating. They also have two large chairs by a fire for relaxing with a Cocktail, or coffee and breakfast. We chose this room for dinner. They also have a large bright bar with lots of seating around the bar and a tavern area. After we had dinner, we went to sit at the bar to enjoy some trivia. They had already reserved two seats at the bar for us with champagne ready for toast! All staff was very nice to us. We even won a bottle of wine in the Trivia contest! We loved the General Stanton Inn and will return!
