What guests say
9.2 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 173 guest reviews
Showers Inn earns consistently strong praise for its outstanding breakfast buffet, charming historic setting, and accommodating staff — including gluten-free-friendly catering. The main areas for improvement are outdoor upkeep (the patio and courtyard need attention) and a few minor in-room issues such as dim lighting, plumbing, and a lack of water at breakfast. Overall sentiment across the reviewed stays is overwhelmingly positive, with most guests eager to return.
