Enjoyed an excellent stay at the Mendenhall Inn. Breakfast was more than satisfactory. King bed in the room appeared new with quality linens. Restaurant was top notch. Menu was comprehensive with enough options to please everyone. Food was delicious. Will stay there again on our next visit to Longwood Gardens.

Few hotel guests so the place is quiet. Location is in "horse country" and serene yet there is shopping and restaurants within a 5-10 min drive. This is our second stay at this hotel and we will stay again. I did not appreciate the surprise of being charged $10 for early check-in. We arrived 90 min before their check in time which was 4pm. Had this been posted on their Expedia page, I would not have been annoyed and would have requested an early check-in. I requested a room near the elevator as I am recovering from surgery which they accommodated. However, the room sign indicated it was for handicap. I was surprised to see a chair at the desk that had wheels (not handicap accessible nor safe. I requested an exchange of chairs so I could use the desk. The registration assistant could

Superior Stay! Most Comfortable Bed Ever!

My wife and I often go to Longwood Gardens during the year and have stayed at almost every hotel in the vicinity. However, this was our first experience here, and we were truly impressed. The hot breakfast in the morning is outstanding, featuring a lovely atmosphere, genuine dishes, real silverware, and excellent service from the staff. The bed was fantastic. I slept very soundly. I strongly recommend this exceptional service at a great value.

Overall excellent but a couple of comments. 1. Rooms are nice, bathrooms updated. 2. My 90 year old parents had a handicap accessible room, but the shower was in the tub, so they could not shower. 3. My sister was charged $10 to get into her room early. 4. Breakfast better than most with fresh cut up fruit. 5. I left clothing in the closet. When I called several hours later, they had found and set aside the clothing. Will stay again given the opportunity.

Did not like that the restaurant was closed for the week for cleaning but not inn’s fault. Should have been noted in the website however because we were counting on eating dinner there and had to go somewhere else to eat. Also bathroom amenities did not include lotion. Otherwise basic clean no-frills room. Full breakfast very good. Buffet clean. Attendant there to assist with requests. Front desk staff Jessica very pleasant and polite.
