What guests say
9.6 / 10 · Exceptional on Booking.com, from 75 guest reviews
Stewart Inn earns near-universal enthusiasm across 30 reviews, with guests repeatedly singling out the exceptional three-course homemade breakfast, the warmth of host Randy, and the beautifully preserved historic Arts & Crafts home. The few genuine gripes — no elevator, a fixed breakfast window, and occasionally noisy fellow guests — are minor and rarely detract from an otherwise outstanding stay. Sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests pledging to return.
