I would try other hotels before I stayed here again and I would never stay here with another guest in the same room. The pictures must be 20 years old because the property is more worn than advertised. Bathroom was very small, like leave your toiletries in the room small. Breakfast was below average.

The Innkeeper went out of her way to be helpful and gave us a little gift bag for the road when we left. we stayed in the cottage, so it was quiet and quite roomy. We were able to cross the road(busy) and then had the opportunity to amble around the grounds of the Academy just across the way. Only drawback: The neighbor down the hill keeps a cow in the backyard, so it's a bit smelly.

The Mercersburg inn is a wonderful bed and breakfast nestled in a picturesque small town surrounded by mountains. It has beautiful architecture, both inside and out and possess a grand history. The building is well kept, clean, and furnished with fascinating antiques. There is even a large porch where you can enjoy a touch of nature and listen to singing birds. The staff is very accommodating and always present for assistance. There is a game room with various types of puzzles, a pool table and air hockey to help spend the time. A full bar is available with a fireplace to unwind after a long day. Definitely a place I will visit again.

The property was lovely, as was the proprietor. In fact it was really special. What was not special was our rooom. We paid a significant upcharge for a nice room with a terrace, but it was just roof of a porch, and not grand or luxe enough to justify the upcharge. The furniture was not original to the historic hotel.

I loved how very helpful and efficient the Inn hostess Toni (? Sp.) was. The breakfast was amazing. The Mansion itself was beautiful. It does need some work though as we discovered on our walk around the property. I didn’t realize that it didn’t have an elevator so the stairs were a little difficult to navigate. As you entered to check-in, there was a torn shade that was an eyesore. They should replace that. The parking is ample.

Pretty place, not as cozy as other b&bs.

Unfortunately when we arrived there wasn’t anyone to greet us, even though we got there right at check in time. The keys were set out with a note to tell us what room and such. We booked a specific room, but did not get that room for some reason. Overall, the stay was good, but my husband and I have gone to other bed and breakfast spots and have formed a good bond with the owners… this felt more like a business.

The staff here ( owner) was super nice and even volunteered to feed us breakfast before the usual serving time. Our room was supposed to have a view of the Academy and the view was mostly non existent. A tiny patch of grass to the right when looking out the window. Don’t pay extra for the view! The room was funky. No door on the bathroom and the room had musty smell. It’s ok if you like old things. The bed wasn’t super comfortable.

Disappointed reality vs internet website.

We were disappointed. Our room didn't met the expectations that was on the website. We had bees, stinkbugs and cobwebs, in our room. The furniture was mismatched, lampshade torn, rugs dirty. Housekeeping only provided 1 set of towels, and 1 roll of toilet paper. There wasn't a plunger in case there was clog. Window AC unit outdated, not efficient (didn't cool the room) and extremely loud. Thankfully the inn keeper provided earplugs as though someone had previously complained. We had splurged on our hotel stay and were disappointed on the atmosphere. Very overpriced.
