Fodor's "The architecture, parquet floors, crystal chandeliers, fireplaces, and furnishings here are so faithful to the Federal period... that the hotel is often mistaken for a renovation rather than what it is." Full review
Frommer's "Although it was built in 1985, one of Virginia's finest boutique hotels was designed after the grand manor houses of the Federal period and thus fits right into Old Town." Full review
Star Service "Close to shopping and restaurants, this elegant and stately four-story Federal-style building blends in perfectly with its historic surroundings, even though it was built in 1985." Full review
