Monmouth Historic Inn

Wow. Grounds? Gorgeous. Room? Spectacular. Ate at 1818...I do not possess the vocabulary necessary to properly convey how good the food was. And the service??? Top tier. Mr George is a waiter all waiters should aspire to be. If there were extra stars, Id give them.

What a wonderful experience staying in this hotel. Unfortunately it was only for one night as we would loved to have stayed longer. The staff accommodation and food were superb. We booked for a table at 2818 restaurant before arriving there and that was the best choice.

Very quiet location with a great view of the river. Several things however made the stay not worth more than 3 stars. First the non responsiveness from the hosts. We tried twice to ask about decaf coffee. We never received a response. Upon arrival you will find steps even on the ground floor rooms. Our corner room was overpowered by a massive bed. There is no storage in the room except an armoire with a few hangers. There are no luggage racks, no drawers. Everything sits on the floor including in the bathroom. There is no breakfast on premise. It's a 10 minute drive, but the breakfast is good. A few bottles of water by the coffee machine in the hallway which was lacking, along with a few breakfast bars would have been nice. I called the number left in the room to ask about a decaf coffee, and was told there indeed is decaf. There was not. She sounded sleepy and no interest in helping me. I bought my own. Creamers consisted of one variety, french vanilla. The room was clean enough for an old home, just a bit dusty with the drapes dragging the floor. Which have to be closed at night due to outside lighting. Small refrigerator in the room was adequate but there are no extras. One small bottle of sample size shampoo. One very tiny bar of soap. Shower head leaks badly if the diverter isn't fully pulled and it's VERY hard to operate. No shower grab bars, one small towel rack. The table is rickety and if leaned on in back, it tilts until it's very unsteady. A handy man could spend a few hours and correct the issues in this room. The view, quiet location and convenience earned this Inn a 3 star.

A lovely historic property with beautiful grounds. A great breakfast included. Friendly staff

A wonderful retreat surrounded by deep history. Room was clean and elegant. Every request was given the appropriate attention, and, best of all, the staff were a joy—all of them. I will return. Thanks! Special thanks to Michael in booking and reception, he was a true professional with a warm, southern demeanor.
