This is a gem of an inn. The sound of the water pouring over the dam and the birds chirping will lull you to sleep each night. The room as basic and comfortable, there’s onsite laundry and a great kitchen. I highly recommend the Washington Inn as a great starting point for exploring the natural beauty of Grayson County!

Good stay

The view from our room was undersold! Great view of the river. That said, there were sizable gaps around the doors, so it was a very good thing the group there was not noisy, or I could have had a grumpy tired hubby. There also seemed to be some kind of family reunion taking place in the common areas, so we felt a little awkward about being there for a lot of our stay.

Dirty and poor security

Unattended hotel, keypad entry to both front door & room. Communication was good - prior to arrival, the week after Hurricane Helene, admin texted codes & said they had an event cancellation due to the storm, so no other guests. Inn is renovated nicely but common areas were dirty. A guy was in the kitchen who we assumed was staff. He said nothing and seemed nervous. Upstairs, our room was somewhat clean, but not completely. There was hair and rust in the tub, very little furniture and a mushy bed. When we went back downstairs to explore, the same guy was now asleep on the couch! I called the admin to ask if anyone was working there but she had no idea who it was. She said the owner was “in town” and should she send him over? Well, you’ve said there’s no other guests, no staff onsite and yet there’s a guy sleeping in the common area. Do you need to ask? The owner came and explained this guy works for them, and his home was destroyed in the hurricane. He’d be given a room, and this would not happen again. It was an explanation, but not an apology. He didn’t seem at all concerned about our comfort. Admin later texted to apologize for “inconveniences”. No one seemed to get that this creepy incident made us feel unsafe. A self check-in model doesn’t absolve them of responsibility to make guests feel safe. Even hostels are concerned about security. I don’t recommend this place to anyone concerned about security or cleanliness.

Beautiful little spot right on the New River! The beds were very comfortable and the deck on the back was great to enjoy the river! It's pretty basic as far as amenities go - it was nice to have a full kitchen available. I would suggest putting in night lights in the rooms or maybe a lamp or two by the beds. We will definitely stay here again!

A small town’s best feature for visitors

We were greeted by the owner…she very graciously showed us around the hotel and gave us a room with a view of the New River. She was very welcoming. The 1902 building has been beautifully restored. The room was great…as a side note, she told us that they would be opening a steakhouse in town in a couple of weeks. The space worked very well for us as a couple. Note that they have rooms and dining options available for scheduling an event for friends and family.

Amazing views!

Fantastic checkin! Our host Cassidy was amazing with communication and showing us around! It’s a beautiful area with the river and sunrise! We had to leave early and I texted Cassidy but didn’t get any response so….I’d recommend a follow up with guests in the future. Would recommend this Inn.
