타운스 인

Solo traveler passing thru HF while biking on the C&O Canal Path. Towns Inn far exceeded my expectations, particularly with their service/friendliness and also their attention to detail. It’s almost like staying at the home of a relative who is glad to see you and gave advance thought to what you might like or need. It is not a typical hotel, and so I had some mental reservations as to whether I had made a good choice when booking months ago, but Towns Inn has really impressed me.

The inn was set on a hill with stone steps which would not be ADA accessible. Bed and room were clean and comfortable. Be aware your " private" bathroom may very well be on a different level than your bedroom. Also, if coming in on bicycle be aware at this point in order to get into Harpers Ferry you must hike your bike and gear up approx 35 feet staircase. Not Inn's fault, but definitely a consideration...

The Inn is a historical site, the staff kind and generous. However it is worth noting that it is on a very steep hillside and the stairs are made of local stone slabs. You have to be rather sure footed to move around the Inn. Parking is interesting although available. The Inn is in a historical district operated by the National Park Service. The parking is one block down the hill by the train station. To park there you need a NPS pass and an overnight pass (that given to you by the Inn.) You may have to come in and park at the visitors center during the day and take the NPS bus down to town, then move your car into the train station parking lot which is very crowded in the daytime but there is no problem getting a spot after 5. Even with some of the inconvenience it is well worth it both to stay at the Inn and see Harper's Ferry. And free coffee in their general store.

We could only spend one night in Harpers Ferry, so the inn was perfect as it overlooks a good part of town. The balcony was closed for repair, so we were thankful we had a room facing the town. The entry way through the alley leaves somewhat to be desired. Always watch your step!

Town's Inn is welcoming and charming. It is in the heart of the lower town. The rooms are comfortable and ours was very large. We loved staying there and we will come back soon. It is the perfect base for enjoying the town of Harper's Ferry. It is run by people who really care for the place and care for their guests. Thanks for a great stay.
