This was the absolute worst hotel we have ever stayed at. First there was no maid service which should have been disclosed when booking. The bathroom lights power went out in the middle of 2 different morning showers. There were cob webs on the ceiling. Multiple spider webs in the window sill. We paid $200/night to stay in absolute trash. Avoid at all costs. They couldnt even fill the kleenex box....

Lovely place, well kept… only complaint is there is no elevator… we are retired and stayed for three nights. Good thing we are in pretty good shape so we could take our luggage up the stairs.

Above and beyond service

Forgetting I left my lights on, my battery naturally died. The staff immediately helped me and the manager went home to locate jumper cables - hospitality personified. I’m grateful to the Washburn Inn folks for their wonderful service that went above and beyond.
