If your history buff exploring the area this is your ideal base of operations. Close to many local historical sites and the place itself is a piece of Americana. If the walls could talk in this place who knows what it would tell us about the past. The place is remarkably well kept given its age and the centuries old architecture lends to the quaintness of this landmark.

The hotel has all the charm you'd expect from a 1797 Inn. Will definitely return for a long weekend, and check out the National Historic sites in the area. The restaurant had excellent food and service.

If you like history, historical buildings and ghosts, then this is the place you! You can get a free tour of the building with one of the Staff during the day, or you can do your own at night with the ghosts. Our room was clean, the bed was comfortable and I can't wait to stay there again!

The Wayside Inn in Middletown, VA was so lovely. The building is old, 1797, and it has been lovingly cared for. I died in Larrick's Tavern and my meal was delicious. I highly recommend staying here.

Second time at the Inn we love it. Unfortunately this time around there was a fire (everyone safe). Management indicated we will be refunded cost of stay as fire stared around 3:00am and we were no longer comfortable spending the night.

This is a wonderful old inn. The place lacks contemporary convenience. Our bathroom was Lilliputian, however the place reeked of our country's history. We loved it. A great inn experience requires a few things. Hot water. A good bed. A place to have a Pint. A genial host. Five stars all around.

I really want to be refunded for my stay I was greatly disappointed in everything about the Inn the Inn keeper should not be stating the Inn is beautiful and warm. Was lacking paint and carpet cleaning and windows not working and terrible bathroom and I will never use Inn ever of course but also never use Hotel.com

Experience American History!!

I LOVE History so being able to stay somewhere with great History is awesome- The Inn is the OLDEST continuous operating Inn in America, I believe it was built in 1797, and was a key place during the Civil War- with History surrounding Stonewall Jackson and more! Just a mile down the road is another historical Plantation, Belle Grove also built in 1797- If you are a history buff this is a great experience, Dining was excellent and the staff went out of their way to accomadate me, as I have trouble walking sometimes. Would do it again and again!!!!
