The most important reason you should stay at the historic Smithfield Inn is because George Washington slept there. Second the staff’s hospitality is amazing, good people work at the Inn. Third there are few places to enjoy eating there. Overall I would not mind living in this beautiful town. Smithfield Inn best place to stay and rest.

We loved the Garden House and our room. It was nice to have the place to ourselves last night. We will be back.

Charming, historic property in a quiet area. Our room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast at the bakery a few doors down was delicious and the staff we met both at the Inn and the bakery were so friendly and helpful!

We have stayed at this property many times. We were upgraded on this trip.The room was very nice, more space, sofa, fireplace, etc. Very accomodating owner. It is a safe area. My husband sits on their fabulous porch and reads while I shop. I can walk to all the downtown shops and many restaurants. We did not eat there on this trip but we always enjoy the meals at this inn. We look forward to returning to this property. We are always up for a trip to "Hamtown" and "the Inn"

Great location and town. Inn was OK. No real services to speak of - room was comfortable, but didn’t have a functioning shower or hot water in the sink. Staff was nice, but couldn’t resolve our issue with the shower, or offer another room.

Smithfield Inn is in a great location of town, walkable to shops, restaurants and a brewery. It is an old building, no elevators and most rooms are on the second floor. Restaurant and bar at the Inn are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so keep that in mind. You can only get ice at the bar. We had a problem with the air conditioning in our room and we were able to change rooms after one night. Parking convenient, voucher for breakfast at cafe 1 block away. Staff in restaurant/bar and housekeepers were very friendly. Weird check in after hours, they give you a code to get in the door and leave key in envelope on a table in the hallway. No other information given. The Inn keeper called us prior to arrival to explain the door code. I spoke to her several times during our stay and ran into her once as she was leaving. I'm not sure if she ever comes into the Inn. It felt like we were the only guests, so I'm not sure why we got the room with the broken A/C and very small room (Sprigg room).

A quick stop over
Although we enjoyed our last stay here our room was in an annex, and very tight quarters. The biggest problem was the incredibly loud AC unit, necessary given the heat but making it hard to sleep and also making the space feel very damp. We never came face to face with the proprietor.

Cozy and Convenient Inn
The Inn is located in the middle of all the shops and restaurants on Main Street. Our room was next to the garden with parking right behind the house. The restaurant was an added bonus with very good food atmosphere.

Loved the feel of the place, location and amenities. However, by 8 PM the place is all closed up other than your room. You can’t access ice, may or may not see any staff, they all leave. The mattress was terrible, rolled to the center of the bed. Husband ended up getting eaten by bed bugs, his back, arms and legs. Our visit started great up on arrival but by morning things were different.

Smithfield Inn
We enjoyed our stay at Smithfield Inn. We have stayed at this facility several times before. The only issue we have staying at this Inn is that we have to go down the street for breakfast. The breakfast voucher for two provided by the Inn is for $24. I ordered a $5.99 bagel sandwich and my husband ordered a $9.99 fritatta. We each had a cup of coffee at approximately $3.00 each and that was all. At the counter, the waitress said we owed an additional $9.00 plus. This did not include tip. We questioned it slightly but did not want to make a scene. We do not know how a breakfast that should have cost $21.98 less tax, ended up costing $33.00 plus, not including the waitress tip. The breakfast issue was the only complaint we had with our stay.

The cottage house was really cute, I liked tha there was a common space inside with a fireplace. I wish there was pictures of the house and descriptions because I was not quite sure what to expect. There were 4 rooms and 3 bathrooms. One room was supposed to have 2 twin beds but there was only a double so that was disappointing to find.

The Smithfield Inn is an older establishment but I love the history and quaintness. My room was spacious, comfortable, clean. I loved that we could walk from the Inn right into the lovely town of Smithfield!

Would love to go back!
Smithfield Inn was absolutely lovely!! We stayed in the Sinclair room on the first floor. We couldn’t hear any noise throughout the night. It came with cable tv and antique features. The bathroom was remodeled. The ceiling was peeling and has damage, but not interfering.
