The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the location is the best in town. However I second the suggestion for blackout curtains and would also have liked more comfortable seating than the two straight chairs. Also, I had to call to get a door code that worked.
We decided at the last minute to stay in Washington. We had a long drive and were hoping to find a room where we could relax and refresh. What a pleasant surprise! From the person answering the phone and making the reservation to checking in, it was a great stay. The room was comfortable, stylish and had every amenity we needed. The room was located downtown with a lot of choices to eat. The boat docks are near by where we had a very nice walk after eating. Would definitely book again.
We visit Washington once a year and I have always enjoyed making a coffee stop here and so this year we decided to stay at the Little Inn for our weekend. And we had a fabulous time! The rooms were clean and comfortable and the staff were very nice. And the location cannot be beat. We even joined the coffee club and will see our mugs next year when it's fired to have a cup of coffee! Would very much recommend for your next time to Washington :)
Great location for downtown Washington NC. Right on Main. We stayed in Room 101, the Pamlico Room, and it was beautifully decorated, roomy, and cozy. Very quiet heating unit. This room is directly on Main St, so you may hear some street noises, but we didn't mind it. Would definitely stay there again!!
The room was immaculate. It didn’t just have a fresh smell from an air freshener, the visibly clean and soft sheets added to the rooms fresh clean scent. From the outside to the corners of the room made it seem like it was newly renovated room. The staff were so pleasant, personable, and friendly - from every level - front desk, coffee, cleaners. And we were able to connect with each. Very warm and welcoming experience. The shower was clean, maybe needs a grout brush cleaner but overall was amazing. The stay was so comfortable it gave you a peace of mind and enjoyment. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others to stay.
Loved the convenience of walking to everything in town! We loved the intimate coziness of our room with unique furnishings and amenities like a microwave and fridge. It was very clean and the bed was luxurious. We would definitely book it again!
We stayed at The Little Inn on Main Street for a fun getaway with our friends! It was perfect! The rooms were very clean and the beds and pillows were the best! We didn’t move our car the entire stay. Wonderful restaurants and shops! We will be back soon I hope!!!!
My husband and I had dinner plans in Washinton for New Year's and needed a room for that night and our friends also got a room here and this place was perfect! Clean room, nice bed, great price, great location right in town and right next to The Bank Bistro where we had reservations. We really enjoyed getting coffee right next door and it was pretty good and thats saying alot from this coffee snob! Would definitely stay again
