I was surprised but said ok, here's my debit card. Nope, cash only. I'm sorry but that is really shady. You can take a card for incidentals but not this random pet fee? I didn't have cash and my naive 10 year old daughter announced she had money to give so our family dog could stay with us. Front desk man said, "Oh that's nice " and took her money. Shameful. Plus during my check in he interrupted the process to address a rough look young man behind me that had cash in his hand to which the front desk said, "I'll take whatever you got."

Located right in the heart of Berkeley Springs, you can walk to all the spots in downtown. The hotel is cozy, with a nice pub on site and spa. it is also just steps away from the Berkeley Springs hot springs, along with the community pool and farmers market. On the latest stay, we got a room in the newer part of the building. It is the less expensive room option, but the room is very spacious. We prefer the older portion of the hotel, in the main building. But you can't go wrong with either spots. I'd recommend getting reservations in advance if hoping to eat on site. The pub has limited seating options. But its well worth the stop.

We opted not to have housekeeping come, so would have been nice to have had a broom or dustpan handy since it's Spring and we were all bringing in mud / dirt on our shoes, but otherwise was well appointed for two people traveling with a dog (altho the 2 little side chairs could have been more comfortable, and it would have been good to have a designated place to put the dogs bowls). The staff was very accommodating when I had to change my reservation, and were all wonderful in-person, too. We ate dinner at the restaurant, which had good home-cooked food, but the young waiter needs training; he came over when we were still eating and asked what we thought about dessert. It wasn't crowded, so I don't understand why we were rushed through our meal. We didn't end up going back because there are so many other dining options in the town or nearby, but it's definitely a plus to have a restaurant on-site when traveling with a dog.

While those words may be a start, it only scratches the surface of our appreciation of what we shared with you last weekend.

I know that you can make this occasion dish one of your own, at least to taste, and for others to enjoy on such special occasions at your Mendenhall 1884 Inn!!".

Manisha and Prashsant, owners of Stone Manor Inn, were personally involved in making sure all went smoothly with our cocktail and dinner party, and it most certainly did! SMI is a lovely old country inn on 14 acres, I believe, with a number of different venues (indoors and out) for meetings, parties, and weddings. The rooms (7 in total) were eclectic, in a good way. All four of their largest rooms that we occupied were spacious, with king beds and spa tubs with separate showers. All were well maintained and clean upon check-in. We had no complaints. I'm not sure when we will return to the area, but when we do, we will not hesitate to return!

That level of genuine hospitality set the tone for the entire visit. The hotel offers free, private on-site parking, which was an added bonus. Our room was impeccably clean, beautifully appointed, and the crisp white linens made it feel fresh, comfortable, and inviting. Before dinner, we enjoyed happy hour in the hotel's stunning historic bar. The bartender made me one of the best Old Fashioneds I've ever had--perfectly crafted and absolutely delicious. We chose to dine at the hotel's restaurant after a local enthusiastically recommended it, mentioning that the chef had earned Michelin-star recognition and insisting we try the crab cakes. We ordered the crab appetizer and a locally sourced beef steak dinner, and every bite was outstanding. It was one of those meals you'll be talking about long after you've gone home. Dinner was served on the picturesque back patio beneath a vine-covered pergola, with live music creating the perfect romantic atmosphere. One thing that truly stood out was seeing the hotel owners working alongside their staff throughout the evening. Their pride in the property and commitment to exceptional service were evident in every detail. The James Buchanan Hotel offers the perfect combination of historic charm, impeccable hospitality, and unforgettable dining. Whether you're looking for a relaxing getaway or simply an exceptional meal, I cannot recommend this place highly enough. We will absolutely be back.

If you like clean bathrooms, functioning HVAC, and nice quiet bedrooms, do not stay at this hotel…read more And when you report issues to management, they have only excuses or don't bother replying. We stayed here for two nights in December. At first glance everything seemed very nice in Room 205 but then, in looking at the bathroom, I realized there was lots of dust and hair behind the bathroom door (photo). I was going to ignore it, but then we couldn't get the HVAC to work, so I went down to the front desk. The desk manager showed us a second room (same problems), a third room (same problems with the addition of brown spots on the ceiling). We were given a fourth room - a suite - on the third floor. This room was not updated like the first few rooms but at least the HVAC was working, and at first glance everything seemed clean. At this point it was 10pm so we got ready for bed. I looked into the shower only to find a big gob of black hair in the drain (photo). I decided to leave it for the morning. We shuffled into bed (photo) and listened to the windows rattling in the windy night along with all the traffic of Main Street (surprisingly a lot). In the morning, I showed the front desk a photo of the shower situation and asked for housekeeping to take care of it. He said they don't have housekeeping on weekends. What?! I've never stayed at a major hotel chain without daily housekeeping. Also an AI search of the hotel on Facebook mentions "daily housekeeping." Each room contained a letter (photo) from Jefferey Shepherd, VP of Operations, urging patrons to text or call with any issues. I texted him for the first time during our stay (with no reply). We avoided the shower stall horror show and showered at a nearby relatives' place - super inconvenient. We also noticed a dirty chair in the living room - like someone peed on it (photo). That night we tried watching TV but couldn't get any of the three remotes to work (photo). At least we got a decent night's sleep the second night. Sunday morning we went to the front desk to check out, rang twice for the clerk (photo) but he never showed up, so I left the room keys on his chair and left. Skip the cold breakfast, which is all they offer, and walk up the block to One North (photo) for a hot meal and delicious gourmet coffee. I called Jeff Shepherd after returning home. We had a cordial conversation and he offered to refund our stay (over $300) which I gratefully and thankfully accepted. One week later, still no refund so I texted him, which he read and again didn't bother replying. Another week passed, I called him again and left a voicemail asking why he changed his mind about the refund. More time passed and I emailed the company that manages the James Buchanan - Capital Hotels. STILL no response, so I'm forced to include a mention of the awful customer service in addition to the dirty hotel. I don't mind old, historic places, but they shouldn't be this dirty, and the HVAC should be in good working condition. Do yourself a favor and stay at one of the other hotels down the street. I know we will.
