It has been on my bucket list to stay in Harper’s Ferry prior to some AT hiking. It was all that I had hoped.

An absolute treasure! The Potomac room was perfect for our family (2 adults, 2 teens). Everything was clean and comfortable with plenty of extra touches that make you feel so at home - board games, lovely art and books, comforting scents and a beautiful garden. The window AC unit kept us cool and comfortable throughout our stay. The honor system kitchen and pantry were wonderful and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and kind. The location was perfect for exploring all of the history of Harpers Ferry on foot and the parking at the train station was super convenient. I would recommend this stay to anyone who enjoys being in the heart of history!

Towns Inn is definitely beautiful to look at and has the charm we were looking for. However, what we were not prepared for was the amount of stairs from where we parked to the inn! It was an awkward set getting to the Cafe. We had to leave our house and go up/down stairs, go outside then go to the other house, which is also part of the inn. It rained just about our entire stay. There wasn't a real common area or TV anywhere for guests to relax outside of their rooms. The chairs and beds in the room were not the most comfortable to sit or relax on.The staff....well, they were WONDERFUL! There was a very kind young man who took us to our room, showed us where everything was and explained the set up of the inn. He worked constantly but was always willing to answer questions. 5 stars to him, for sure! Because of the awkward set up of the inn, all of the stairs, and no real common area, we feel we need to give 3 stars.

Comfortable inn in Harpers Ferry

We enjoyed our stay at the Towns Inn, one night while biking from Pittsburgh to DC. It’s nicely located for cyclists, near a coupe of restaurants and ice cream. Our room was very comfortable, check in was easy, and we were able to wash our bikes and store them overnight in the patio.

A wonderful place to stay both the in INN the city

I am so happy that we chose the INN that we stayed at in Harpers Ferry. The staff was wonderful. It was such a great experience. They have all amenities. The town and the beauty surrounding the town were absolutely beautiful and the history there is amazing. I would highly recommend it and I look forward to going back someday.

The parking was difficult, as the train station was full. The bathroom down the hall was not preferred although only for our room.

Casual and fun

I brought my two teenage daughters here on the first leg or our college tour week. I loved the feel of the inn. It reminded me of a European hostel. We had our own room, of course, but the inn sells a variety of food and allowed us to use the kitchen. We hung out in the common areas and played some of the games. For my daughters, this was a completely different hotel experience than a traditional chain hotel. It was perfect!

I was not aware the bathroom was at the enf of the hall outside of the room.

Parking was extremely difficult, not just off sight but many steep steps. Supposedly the room slept 4 but it was cramped for two, no shelves, no where to put a suitcase. Some of the outlets didn’t work as well as a lamp. On a positive note the location was great for being right in town.

Disappointed

Pros. Check in was easy. Owner and I am guessing her assistant welcomed us room was clean bed very comfortable. Con’s. Lighting in room was inadequate for reading unless you used the lights on the fan which were harsh and not a relaxing light arrangement. Lock on entrance door to room was not very secure if not at all. Door knob did not keep door closed, you had to use the dated lock above. Bathroom was down the hall. Private and clean. But, the first time I tried to take a shower there was not hot water. I let it run for a least 7 mins. It would get lukewarm and then very cold and stayed cold. Other than that it was just ok! Not worth the high price.

Schönes Hotel im Museumsdorf

Das Hotel liegt mitten im „Museumsdorf“ Harpers Ferry und ist in zwei miteinander verbundenen historischen Gebäuden untergebracht. Die Lage ist toll, die Ausstattung altmodisch, aber charmant. Am Bahnhof ganz in der Nähe gibt es einen gebührenpflichtigen Parkplatz. Mit dem Jahrespass des National Park Service kann man aber umsonst parken. Diesen kann man beim Visitor Center des NPS in Harpers Ferry kaufen, wenn man ihn nicht bereits hat. Die Gebäude des Museumsdorfs kosten keinen Eintritt. Man erfährt viel über die Vorgeschichte des Civil War. Der Ort eignet sich auch gut als Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen.
