Lovely Inn and restaurant! It was our first time visiting and everyone was super friendly and accommodating. The room was very clean and spacious (we were in the Adams room). Breakfast was great and you could choose what you wanted, which I liked! Dinner did not disappoint... great service, high quality ingredients, and executed well. Would love to return in the future!

Great experience staying here. Food was delicious, room was crisp and clean. Lots of history at this place, I think I saw the date "1829", a few times when perusing the bookshelf in the reading room. Fascinating to know that Paris, Virginia was named so because a French general, Lafayette, once stayed here. We will be back next week!
