    Let me start by saying that I rarely leave poor reviews of anywhere, and I have been ALL OVER. My wife worked in this industry and I believe that if someone is going to spend their money they should know the truth. The building is beautiful and location is great. However, the décor is very tired thrift ship furniture, not befitting the grandeur of the site. And be aware, no TV's in the rooms. (that didn't bother us) Customer service was nonexistent. Many of the guests were not told that the kitchen was closed due to a wedding when they booked and had to make other arrangements for dinner. (a heads up would have been nice) In the bar that evening we were all asked to leave, without warning, as they decided to close at 9 pm because the bartender was tired... None of the guests were pleased as no one wanted to drive down the street to another bar after drinking. We all wanted to have a few drinks an go upstairs to our rooms, Not too much to ask, or again, a heads up. The staff lacked any sense of proper dress and obviously had little to no training, especially table service. Breakfast was absolutely horrible! Obvious prepackaged, warmed up food, bruised, well passed sell by date fruit, just awful. For the price and selling point of being the swankiest place it town, it was severely lacking.

    Gorgeous building and grounds. Nice staff. BUT, in dire need of updating - our room needs painting and new (or shampooed) carpet - furniture throughout is worn and doesn't even match. Staff is nice but need training ! Breakfast is very poor - only premade casseroles or eggs that have been watered down. The only really GOOD thing here is dinner - they have a good chef and the food is very good. HOWEVER - the wait staff is not properly trained on how to serve in a fine dining establishment. Plates are whipped away when one person is done (don't wait for both) - wait staff dress dressed in dirty clothing... Wine list is dreadful and dreadfully overpriced for the items on it. Nothing good or interesting. Wait staff are also bar tenders and told us "we can look it up in the book" when asking about having a Cosmo... Clearly no knowledgeable about wine or mixed drinks. Worst of all - owners are not present or helping their staff!!! On Thanksgiving the wait staff were clearly over worked - service was dreadful - with one owner flitting through asking "everything good?" - Owners live on site but seem to be very "hands off". Only a quick run through saying "everything good?" ... This place could be wonderful - but needs a lot of updating and training to get there. On the good side - great pillows!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My wife and I stayed here for a Valentine's Day getaway. Upon arrival, we received our room key and information regarding breakfast options, our dinner reservation, and check-out policies. Our dinner was exceptional! The food is of great quality and the menu is reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. Excellent servers as well. After dinner, we noticed our room had a curtain hanging behind one of the nightstands. Behind it was one of those "sound-proof" foam boards blocking off what I believe to be a door conjoining the rooms. This option of blocking off the room did not work as we could hear the folks staying in the room connected to ours. It felt as if we did not have our own room and had to whisper so as to not disturb the guests in that room. Finally, we decided to leave the Mercersburg Inn early due to the excess noise coming from the other room - we could not sleep. We wrote a note to the staff as they were no longer on the premises around 11:00 p.m. The following morning they offered us a complimentary stay or dinner. We will be choosing the dinner. I would recommend the Mercersburg Inn for dinner but would caution anyone looking to stay there to ensure your room is properly equipped.

    Lovely room with a view, games room with air hockey and puzzles plus a big TV (my partner had a late night Zoom so it was very nice to have a place to hang out) and breakfast (included) was yummy. Tomi is very nice—sent us to a great little restaurant in town as they were not open the night we stayed-and kindly alerted me the following day after checking out, that I had left a favorite hat—which she then promptly sent to me. Very thoughtful! We will happily stay again

    My wife and I just spent our 13th anniversary in the Marie Claire suite. We loved it. Nice spacious room, well decorated and comfortable. We really loved sleeping with the dim flicker of the gas fireplace. Breakfast both days was wonderful, as we each enjoyed the quiche, coffee cake, fresh fruit and juice. We were able to try the dinner service on one evening, and we very much enjoyed that too. I had the salmon, and my wife had the filet. Both were well cooked and presented. My only critique would be that they were both a little underseasoned, at least for my taste. The turtle pie and the apple pie for dessert were well worth finding space in our stomachs for! Overall, I would very much recommend, as well as come again!

    Went to a family gathering for lunch. We didn't stay at the inn, so I can't speak about the rooms, but the lunch was nice and the staff were very friendly and helpful. They don't have a wheelchair ramp yet, but they were very helpful in getting my wife into the building. I was told that's the next project. Worth a stay if you like historical places. 🤠

    just want to thank Tomi for a very enjoyable visit. Room 4 was great with our very own balcony! As for Byron's restaurant, the dinner was outstanding! Our server Emma was awesome. A window seat with candles and classical music playing made it a magical evening to celebrate Christmas. Donna and I stayed here over a year ago. It was very nice to be back at this special inn again in December 2022. A small suggestion, please add Ruby Port or Sherry to your limited alcohol selection at your bar.

    This is the second year the company I work for has rented out the Inn, and both years have been AMAZING! All of the rooms are comfortable and unique. The beds, linens and duvets are luxurious. Tomi and the rest of the staff are so nice and hospitable. The food is delicious and the Inn is beautiful! We can't wait to return again next year! Thanks, Tomi and the rest of the staff!

    A wonderful place for a romantic weekend getaway. We were there for one of the Wine Weekend events and we met some great people, drank some amazing wine and generally had a great experience with Sommelier Marc Supsic. The wine dinner was fantastic.

    Multiple members of my family have stayed at this historic Inn in the past. I stayed in 2011 in the main house. This time I was lucky enough to stay in the Carriage House which had a much bigger suite and a soaker jet tub. Highly recommend! The feather bed was exquisite! Peaceful quiet and the place to myself! I'll be back😊

    Such a wonderful stay! The home and the history are so interesting and the people here were so friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the game room and exploring the beautiful rooms. Breakfast was delicious and everything was truly perfect!

    My return for a Summer stay after the enchanting Winter trip. I again enjoyed every minute of this delicious stay in the green, with the sound of the cicadas, birds and carillon in the far. The veranda was my favorite place to stay and I enjoyed every little detail; The food was delicious and the entire personal is so attentive and kind, they make you feel like royalty. I recommend to everyone who wants to enjoy time out of our crazy world. I will return during the Fall and am sure the spell will last...

    Stayed here for an anniversary weekend. The bed was so uncomfortable (springs digging I'm back), the air conditioner not very effective at keeping the room controlled, and the breakfast was lackluster (floating grounds in my coffee and the yogurt was served in the Activia container lol). There's is a line between quaint and outdated and unfortunately this place was the latter. I will say it was nice being secluded from the busyness of other cities but that's probably the only redeeming quality from our stay.

    The Inn is a quiet, beautiful and historic place to stay. Mercersburg is a quaint PA town with a number of great places to frequent is very walkable from the Inn. The local area has some cool attractions, some good golf and provides a great place to unplug for a weekend!

    beautiful inn rooms were amazing. if you want a quiet welcoming historic hotel then this is the place for you. I felt the setting and staff were brilliant and well worth the drive.

    I was totally in love with the place, beautiful and our hostess gentle and thoughtful, we enjoyed the downstairs games room too. A well-tucked gem in Mercersburg, but worth visiting if you pass nearby. We drove from DC, it was like the clock was reversed 100 years, but you still have all the modern comforts with country charms. Superb! Loved it!

    We stayed for one night and had a wonderful experience! The town of Mercersberg, just steps from the inn, was a charming town, and the inn made it that much more special. It felt like we stepped back decades as we walked through the rooms of the inn and enjoyed our clean and comfortable room on the third floor. The owner and host was extremely helpful in getting us checked in and in making sure our stay was enjoyable. We also loved the breakfast, served on a covered porch. We’re looking for an excuse to go back soon!
