It all began with a small wood frame house, erected in 1811 in the historic village of Fredonia in western New York. Over the years, and following a masterful renovation, The White Inn has evolved into a sophisticated blend of old-fashioned charm and modern style. This country manor-style hotel and Select Registry affiliate features traditionally elegant guest rooms and suites, an historic dining establishment and close proximity to area activities that are all about doing, seeing, and enjoying!

My husband and I have traveled quite a bit both nationally and internationally. In fact, we’ve been in 35 of the 50 states, Canada, Mexico,and overseas in Europe and China. We have such admiration for the staff. Furthermore,all of the amenities of this hotel were first rate. Prices were fair, too. First of all, and SO important—it is SPARKLING clean -I really have seldom seen a cleaner hotel anywhere in the places we’ve traveled. All of the staff is extremely courteous and very helpful, and obviously work hard. We had two dinners at the hotel itself, and the food is uniformly excellent. Again—the staff is top-notch. The continental breakfast was great and is so appreciated especially when you’re trying to get yourself together to check out. The very minor complaint I might have is that the AC in the room was pretty noisy, but I don’t think there’s anything they can do about that. It seems like all the hotel rooms these days have very noisy air-conditioning units so I’ll have to just ¯_(ツ)_/¯ about that.(Our mini-splits at home are practically silent…just a thought…) To sum up —all in all The White Inn is going into my little folder of hotels we would definitely stay at again and would recommend highly to anyone.

This place is a GEM. My room was absolutely spotless. I was able to have a delicious meal on the expansive patio on a beautiful summer day...add the glass of wine and a good book, and the experience was just about perfect. The bedding was comfortable and luxurious, supportive for my lower back. The staff with whom I interacted were simply wonderful. Kind, accommodating, helpful, truly exceptional. I would not hesitate to stay at The White Inn again! I'd give it ten stars if I could!

We had stayed here back in the day before the new ownership. We were amazed at the change in the room. It’s beautiful. The shower was wonderful. It appears that little amenities were added that in the end aren’t little but very very nice touches. The TV was on when we got in the room and it was letting us know what was going on. We liked that. It’s just amazing what they’ve done to renovate/refurbish it. We did go to the bar. The bar tender was very professional and friendly but I will say I thought it was extremely unprofessional and not a good image for a couple of employees off duty to be at the end of the bar being very loud and using the F word in every other sentence. They had White Inn shirts on so that’s why I’m assuming they were employees. In the end I do hope we have a chance to stay here in the future.

Attended a post funeral luncheon here the next of kin was staying here.They seemed happy with accomodations. I can speak to the dining. Beautiful upscale dining room and place settings. Food was quite good and nicely portioned. Not large menu selection. The deserts were five star quality. Absolutely amazing , generous portions, beautiful presentations obviously from a very skilled pastry chef who has pride in their work. I have to say that the service was very slow for the main meals , no fault of wait staff. Nice place to get fine dining in a small town.

Very disappointing experience overall. Our reservation was somehow lost despite having a text confirmation, which was frustrating—especially since we were there with a group of friends to celebrate my birthday. Although our server was pleasant, the service was extremely slow. We were rarely checked on and were never asked if we wanted additional drinks or anything else. Our food arrived over an hour after we were seated, and everything was cold. I ordered the pork belly, which was tough and chewy, almost like leather. My entrée was so overly salty that it was completely inedible. My wife ordered the signature dish Lamp Lighter Chicken; the potatoes were also excessively salty, and the chicken itself was very dry. We informed our server, and while my entrée was comped, the manager never came to our table to apologize or even acknowledge the issues. I’ve been dining at the White Inn for many years, but sadly, this was my first and last visit under the new ownership.
