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.

Absolutely stunned to see any positive reviews for this hotel. The staff was very nice and that is about all I can say that is positive. The building and rooms are in need of a deep gut renovation. The walls, doors, shower, and sinks are decrepit. There is rust on everything. The didn’t drain properly. The AC is a window unit. There is no sound barrier — in my room I could hear staff vacuuming the restaurant and cleaning and patrons talking and eating. The bedroom/bathroom was just dirty. Stains on sheets and towels. Uncomfortable bed. Dirty floors. Smelly hallways. Very strange decor / art. I’m sorry to say but this was, by far, the worst hotel I’ve stayed at… do not do it!

You could certainly tell this is, in part, an employee owned establishment. Very prompt, conscientious and friendly service. The hotel design and decor is, itself, wonderfully entertaining if you like history and the eclectic. If you need bright and shiny, this is not the place for you. If you're more English pub, you'll be in heaven. I only ate breakfast in the restaurant. It was very good.

Overall, I liked the hotel. It is historic, it is well cared for, being over 100 years old, and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The food is good and the bar is great. My only complaints are: 1. No elevator - we were on the 4th floor, which is fine, but it did get tiring after 5 times in one day. 2. No coffee in the room. This goes with number one in that there is free coffee in the lobby, but we had to go down four flights and then back up with coffee to enjoy it in our room in bed. It would be fine with an elevator, but a cheap Keurig in the room would be a much better alternative. 3. The bathrooms are dated and not great. Some of them are shared, which you will know which one are when you book. We got a private one, and the shower was very very slow to heat up, and water got everywhere. The sink was not aligned with the faucet correctly, which resulted in a lot of water spilling onto the counter. The counter was sloped forward, which resulted in your hand washing water spilling all over your feet and the floor. 4. No, tv, but I understand that it's an old building with thin walls, not a huge deal. 5. The walls are thin, but that can't be helped really. Overall, I had a good stay, and I see the charm. However, for 4 nights it became a bit too much given the above. If I stay again, it will be for one night only. Please, put coffee makers in the rooms.
