It was a beautiful little boutique hotel. The room I was in was not particularly spacious. There was no desk or anywhere to write. In the bedroom, there were only two light fixtures, and each had a 25 W lightbulb in them. The bathroom was oriented so that the light did not shine into the bedroom. There is a bar and restaurant on the first floor that was quite busy on Friday and Saturday nights, And quite noisy as well. The crowd from the restaurants and bars made it impossible to find parking space at the hotel, but I did find a public parking lot across the street and down about half a block. The water pressure in the shower was fabulous, but the shower itself was a little less than 30 in. Square, Measured by the 2 inch tiles on the floor.

Absolutely clean and spotless. But, no bathrobes available, as described, which would have helped since the room was quite cold. Amenities included soap, shampoo and conditioner plus tissues, no more.

Beautifully renovated while still keeping the old charm. There was live jazz music on the Saturday evening we stayed there, so with the hand crafted cocktails, it gave the ambiance a real speak easy vibe. Highly recommend staying if you are looking for a quaint river town getaway experience.

We loved the historic hotel, but we had to search for someone to check us in- the woman tending bar handed us a key to a room on the 3rd floor. The stairs were steep and there was no alternative or help. We are both seniors, many of my peers would not have been able. There was no information about this when I booked us online.

National Hotel-Frenchtown

So enjoyed staying at this little jewel in Frenchtown. The owners are in the process of a tremendously creative renovation which includes a sushi bar. Great to see a family proprietor create a new contemporary rebrand of a 1850 treasure. Loved the live jazz Friday night. Great vibe!

My husband and I spent 2 nights at The National. We picked Frenchtown for a quiet getaway near the Delaware River to celebrate our anniversary. I'm so glad we ended up at this owner! The owner, Cara, is amazing. The food, service, and live music were all wonderful. They had a jazz band on Fridays and Saturdays, which completely changed our stay for the best! Our room was clean and comfortable. We'll be back!
