Liked: Cleanliness
Old charm is fine, however, people should be aware that rooms are creaky, have no TV's, no landlines in case of an emergency in the room, some bathrooms have drafts. Also, the rooms with a shared bathroom are not properly advertised, and some people are surprised when they arrive and find out their room has a shared bathroom. The day of my arrival, I got there late and was planning to just eat something at the hotel -not possible because of a private event- which was not communicated in advance.

A very cosy hotel with unique style. Very welcoming staff going above and beyond to provide an amazing experience. Charming historic place, but note that there are no elevators and some rooms have shared bathrooms. It's walking distance (~10 min) from the metro and bus station, and located on a relatively quiet street. We greatly appreciated the hospitality.

The breakfast wasn’t free, but you get a $10 disc coupon. Delicious. Great service. It’s an old building with no elevator access for those with difficulties. Place was beautiful. The o ly inconvenience is the parking. It was a block away and $30 per night. $50 for valet.

This is a hotel with a soul. Unique art in the wall, room decor eclectic and warm. Very good restaurant on the premises ! Nice staff. The hotel does show its age so if you like minimalist cubes for a room, you may not like Tabard Inn. For me, the unique style and great food was refreshing !

The room was spacious and decorated to have its personality. The mattress was very comfortable. However, the hot water temperature was unstable and not very warm. I love that the building has a historical meaning and significance. The service was mixed. One front desk person (I didn’t catch her name) was super helpful and willing to help. I had a plan change, and wanted to cancel. She was willing to waive the penalty because I was on the edge of giving the notice. However, Greg and the manager were not helpful. They wasted a lot of time and were cold and unwilling to help. They added a lot of stress and time waste.

I had to move after 3 hours, there wasn’t hot water in the room, the room number was 44. Front desk told me to wait 20-25 minutes for water, I was waiting for an hour, and eventually they told me it’s an old house, have a problem to get hot water😅well by 11 pm I moved to another place, I paid 160$ per night, my advice add a little extra money, and find better one. The room wasn’t like in the picture, dark and very small.

The Tabard Inn is a charming, European style hotel. It is on the National Register of Historic Places and the furnishings and bathrooms reflect this. Our room was quite large: two double beds, a couch, and a fireplace. The food is outstanding and the mattress was incredibly comfortable. If you are looking for a generic hotel with “modern amenities” this may not be the place for you. But if are looking for a charming hotel with great food and comfortable rooms I highly recommend the Tabard Inn.
