What a disappointment The Shaffner Inn was. The room we had reserved, the Piedmont Suite, was spacious and at first entrance was impressive. Sadly, we found the floor needed vacuuming, the ladies dressing table mirror was so dusty, you could write your name on it. Two lamps on either side of the couch didn’t have lightbulbs in them. Ironically, there was a big extension cord, that could be easily tripped on running across the floor to these two non-working lamps. The TV was not connected to anything and we had to use the inn’s WiFi to watch a movie on our laptop. We called the “emergency number” about the non-working TV and the voice mail message said they would quickly respond, but from our 7pm call, to the following morning, NO ONE CALLED. The toilet seat in the bathroom was loose and there was no body soap in the dispenser in the shower. The mattress in the king size bed was hard and VERY uncomfortable. The morning breakfast consisted of strawberries and blueberries, plain bagels, little pastries, boxed oatmeal, orange juice, coffee and water. Our reservation (see pictures) said we would receive a hot breakfast, but we were told at check-in that they said they gave their chef the day off and we would be receiving a light continental breakfast instead. No one even asked how our stay was as we were leaving. None of these deficiencies were reflected in the rather high price for the room.

Intriguing Hotel Option

Loved this little hidden hotel in the middle of WS. We booked the Piedmont Suite and it was massive, private, clean and quiet. Will definitely look to stay here again if the need arises.

We like the historical nature of the property. Did not mind at all that the bathroom was down the hall and the creaky nature of the old building. But... It would have been nice to have some tissues in the room. Also, we think you should present the rooms as NOT having TV service (bring a book) rather than what was a frustrating time finding a channel and keeping service.

The property was very clean and beautiful, but after 4 or 5PM it didnt seem like there was staff on site. I had no issues that needed staff. It is located right off the highway which was great. But I had to search for places to eat, nothing around, didnt seem like any restaurants within walking distance. The only food on site was breakfast between 8-1AM. There was water, hot choc and coffee in the room. This is the only reason I would not stay again.

The staff was very helpful from the time we booked our room until time we left. They offered a small bottle of red or white wine and asked my preference before we arrived as well as confirming when room was ready. The breakfast was great, which comes with the room. The room was very spacious, comfortable beds and loved the Victorian decor. We will be back.

I hate to give a bad review but this property which looks very quaint and beautiful in the pictures is in a need of updating or a significant freshening. Items in the room were literally falling apart and locks on the door that didn't work and dirt and unfinished ceiling repairs. I understand that it is an old historic facility and that there will be certain. nuances in keeping historical charm. This was a disappointment compared to other B&B's we've stayed at. Also it is on the corner of a very busy intersection and the noise can be a little overwhelming at times
