What guests say
8.5 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 180 guest reviews
The Historic General Stanton Inn earns consistently strong praise for its warm, professional staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and genuine historical atmosphere that history enthusiasts find exceptional. However, a handful of guests flag practical shortcomings — including limited in-room amenities, a cooling issue in at least one room, and restricted access to the historic main building depending on which wing guests are assigned. Overall sentiment is very positive, with most visitors finding the blend of heritage charm and modern finishes well worth the stay.
