Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The historical distinction of this Jeffersonian inspired property is a great story...an early american psychiatric care facility known as Western State Institute, later a medium security prison and now a classic americana hotel with impressive grounds, roof top cupola with spiral stair, comfortable bedding and helpful staff. But minimal toiletries (water glass/towels), no in-room bottled water or daily maid service, and surprisingly squeaky wooden floors detracted from the overall experience.

Magnificent historical structure
When we pulled into the entrance gate and I saw the magnificent view of the main building, we were blown away! The grounds and building are wonderfully maintain. The history drew me here but the sheer beauty and how they’ve retained it, leaving so much of the original structure, is such an accomplishment.

Nice hotel but room without a view.
The hotel is very nice, but the main entrance doesn’t show up on Google Maps. It’s a bit old place very close to downtown Staunton. Btw - we went for the least expensive room. Since it was on the first floor, the view was of the air conditioners. I wish I had known the location (including no above grade windows) since I would have gladly paid a little more to have more light in our room.

The malfunctioning a/c upon our arrival and the smaller than advertised pull out couch both put a damper on our stay. Interesting if creepy history for the place as an asylum for the insane and prison until as late as 2003 something we knew about in advance.

The property was historically interesting, but still has a bit of an “institutional” feel about it. The reason for the average rating mostly comes from the fact that it was challenging for me to manage bringing in the necessary bags and equipment that support my husband’s needs as a stroke survivor. I did use the bellman’s cart, which helped, but then it was difficult getting into the elevator and manage pushing the cart, then helping him to enter with his walker. When I had called to be sure that there was a restaurant on sight I was told yes, so it was a disappointment to find out that it is only open for dinners on the weekends. The young lady who prepared breakfast was most helpful, and even offered to carry my husband’s breakfast to our room, as I had my hands full. I greatly appreciated her help.
