What guests say
9.1 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 718 guest reviews
Boone Tavern is widely appreciated for its genuine historic character, warm and attentive staff, and comfortable, well-maintained rooms that deliver a distinctive Southern atmosphere. The on-site restaurant earns consistent praise for breakfast, though a handful of guests found dinner prices high relative to quality and noted gaps in the bar menu. Rooms are occasionally flagged as compact, and the college-campus setting may surprise first-time visitors, but the overwhelming majority leave satisfied and would return.
