Staff indifferent to my noise and service complaints. As a guest the bar/restaurant should not be closed to me because of a “private event”. I have stayed here several times over the years but not any more.

Liked: Cleanliness
Old charm is fine, however, people should be aware that rooms are creaky, have no TV's, no landlines in case of an emergency in the room, some bathrooms have drafts. Also, the rooms with a shared bathroom are not properly advertised, and some people are surprised when they arrive and find out their room has a shared bathroom. The day of my arrival, I got there late and was planning to just eat something at the hotel -not possible because of a private event- which was not communicated in advance.

A very cosy hotel with unique style. Very welcoming staff going above and beyond to provide an amazing experience. Charming historic place, but note that there are no elevators and some rooms have shared bathrooms. It's walking distance (~10 min) from the metro and bus station, and located on a relatively quiet street. We greatly appreciated the hospitality.

The breakfast wasn’t free, but you get a $10 disc coupon. Delicious. Great service. It’s an old building with no elevator access for those with difficulties. Place was beautiful. The o ly inconvenience is the parking. It was a block away and $30 per night. $50 for valet.

This is a hotel with a soul. Unique art in the wall, room decor eclectic and warm. Very good restaurant on the premises ! Nice staff. The hotel does show its age so if you like minimalist cubes for a room, you may not like Tabard Inn. For me, the unique style and great food was refreshing !
