Warm hospitality in an tranquil setting. Monroe Bay Inn, under new ownership, opened for business…read morein the fall of 2011. I stayed there in February 2012 and enjoyed it very much. The home has glossy wood floors and ample seating areas that would be great for a large family or group. Local art hangs throughout the Inn. Guest rooms are upstairs and spacious, each with a private bathroom. We stayed in Room #1. The feather bed was luxurious, and two windows offered nice views onto the large front yard and quiet street below. The innkeeper was polite and thoughtful. The bathroom was fairly new construction, but the tiny shower made for tricky maneuvering and the bathroom light-fan combo was annoyingly loud. Breakfast was tasty, with a variety of fresh coffees and orange juice, and friendly, personalized service. This home was owned by the family of Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, and at one time provided summer stays to hearing-impaired children from the region. Upstairs, the rooms are lined along both sides of a longish hallway and hearken to that bygone era. At this time, the overnight fee was due up-front, and in cash. FYI.

My husband and I recently spent an overnight at The Monroe Bay Inn in Room #1. We had a pleasant…read morevisit - the Monroe Inn was spotless and comfy! I like the fact that the inn keeper had local art hanging throughout the inn to punctuate the spacious layout. The location was near the local sites in Colonial Beach and a short (5-10 minute) drive to the bay or beach area. The inn keeper suggested that the inn could accommodate family groups and was flexible regarding length of stay. If you are doing a winery visit or beach stay in the area, please consider the Monroe Inn for your stay.

There's laundry facilities on site and they offer a pool and small exercise room. The room itself is great for me because I need to be able to cook. Full size fridge, stove, and basic dishes and cookware to get you started. They clean rooms every day (unless you want less, like me) and change sheets weekly during your stay. The A/C and climate control works great. The Wi-fi fast on my laptop but doesn't work so well on my phone for whatever reason unless I go outside. I would have given an extra star if the pool/exercise room was open past 5pm and on the weekends. That's kind of a bummer for those who are here for a while and working the hours those amenities are open. Otherwise this place completely fills my needs and more. I would recommend this place to any friends that are going to stay for a while. http://www.glennel.com/woodside.html

I got a Living Social deal to stay here for two nights. The price was right and we had been to…read morevisit the house a few months earlier. The grounds are nice and it was fun to explore the place since we're here longer. We're slightly disappointed with the guest house though. It's fine and clean but pretty plain. I was assuming staying at an inn at a historic place that the guest house/inn where you're staying would be historic. It's not. The guest houses look fairly new and built as a way to just get people to stay here to get money for the place. It's not a B&B or really very charming at all. It's actually fairly corporate looking and feels impersonal. You cant check-in until 4 which is kinda crazy. When we got here there was a vacuum cleaner with the cord in front of our door that we had to move and a cleaning rag on the table outside our door. It's like the cleaning crew just said "screw it...I'm out for the day' and left their stuff there. They were still there the next morning. When the cleaning crew did do our room they didn't wipe down the sink, do anything with the towel/washcloth on the sink. We had a couple of tea cups on the night stands that they didn't take away either. There is a kitchen for shared use in the house but you are expected to put dishes in the dishwasher which always seemed to be running. The walls/ceiling are pretty thin as you can hear every bit of sound in the place. The continental breakfast is ok but they had one guy in the back and nobody clearing away dirty dishes so tables you might want to sit at you couldn't. Also, nobody was making sure the juice carafes were filled so they say empty while we were there. All in all I expected a lot better from this place considering the location and name but I cant complain too much due to the great living social deal I got. I wont be coming back for a romantic weekend where there are so many better places.

I was treated as suspicious and put through some very strange questions and a weird overview of the hotel. Shown to a substandard room with a broken door with no apologies. Asked the next morning to stay a couple days more and again treated as suspect. I guess they thought since I was a single woman that had no luggage I couldn't afford the room. Money was no problem. The bed was comfortable but the room was nothing to write home about. Could barely get the door opened and felt uncomfortable asking the front desk for anything. This hotel caters to military clients. If I ever have another emergency I will stay at the Holiday Inn across the parking lot.
