The Martha Washington Inn and Spa

We have been visiting The Martha for years and are so impressed with the upkeep. We love that we can drive up and leave the world behind. There’s no need to get back in the car until we leave - everything is at our finger tips, from three meals services (lunch service is new) to a fitness center, spa, indoor pool, boutique, outdoor (amazing) jacuzzi, putt putt, pickleball - not to mention many other food options, shopping, the creeper trail, and the Barter Theatre within walking distance. The management is exceptional as well, and will do all they can to ensure a great stay!

Really cool place! Very welcoming and a great and friendly staff. Reasonable pricing decent food. Abingdon is a neat older town the retained a lot of charm. Facilties are pretty nice at the Martha with a decent gym, pool and Jacuzzi. Definitely worth a visit!

Horrible customer service. Horrible communication. I accidentally left my corporate card in my room and was promised it would be mailed out the next day and the tracking number be emailed to me, I even left my personal credit card information to pay for the shipping. Since my job depends on being able to access this corporate account, it was important that this was time-sensitive matter. I left an email, left a voicemail, and called the property 5 different times. I was given the run-around, no one had answers for me, and no one apologized. I had to call back the 6th time to talk to the Bellman Manager. He finally went to UPS and they had never sent the package. This was 7 days later. I work in sales and hospitality and this was such a disappointment and a detriment to my job. I ended up paying the shipping fee myself since no one at the property offered to cover the cost for the hassles of the situation. After paying over $350 for the one night stay, the customer service was lacking to say the least. -I found out the sauna was out of order after the front desk staff told me it was an available amenity.

Overall, the hotel is very nice. The gym was excellent, and the breakfast was good. I had room 211, and it was not particularly inviting. In the two beds, you could see the box springs, and the furniture was spartan. I cannot figure out why they chose a pedestal sink, but you will have no room for toiletries. My friend's room was much nicer. I would suggest requesting a room in the older section.

A stay last year was canceled by the hotel due to their own plumbing problem. The stay this year was unable to occur because of the hotel failed to return my multiple calls. I do not believe that this is a reliable nor dependable property. I would not advise wasting my time at the Martha.
