The Historic Berkeley Place

We booked the Augusta room - in the back of the main building. We arrived promptly at 4 pm. We were directed by their email confirmation to park our car behind the building. It was impossible to find that access. We parked out front and walked past the building to a dumpy entrance next to trash barrels and dead plants. The neighboring house was strewn with litter and old tires in the yard. Reasonably so, my wife felt uncomfortable staying in an isolated room on the trashy back alley. I requested a refund, I was offered an alternative room at 10:30 at night after we had already found a different more welcoming place to stay, For my trouble they offered me a $50 credit for a room costing close to $350. Do yourself a favor and find a different place to stay,

We enjoyed every bit of this gorgeous property. We stayed in the penthouse suite and my teens were thrilled with how pretty and cozy it was. I hope we get to come back and soon!

Beautiful place. Well appointed and accurately described on their site. Located at the corner of MBUniv and across from Woodrow Wilson House. Easy walk into town, ( uphill on the way back!). We stayed 2 nights in The Beverly suite. Secure entry we felt safe. Parking was tight, the alley is potholed, so tread carefully. Our suite was Spacious w couch and huge bathroom. Having the side porch to hang out for morning coffee and evening reading was delightful. The in room mini fridge and kureig was wonderful and a nice variety of choices. The “lobby” offers snacks (popcorn and cookies), water & ice, tea kettle, and ice cream!!! Yum! Overall well done and far exceeds any hotel stay.

Historic Berkeley Place bookended our 2 night stay in Staunton where we enjoyed an excursion on the Virginia Scenic Railway with another couple. The house is more beautiful than photos convey. It is understated and elegant. Architectural details have been preserved, and modern touches have been incorporated. We really enjoyed the private porch that came with the first floor room, where we savored snacks and pre-dinner drinks both nights. The little gelato-stocked freezer in the lobby was an unexpected surprise. Host was very responsive when we had trouble getting our room lock to work. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely room and very cozy location in this in-town vintage architecture residential area. Quiet breezes where birdsong and fragrance of small gardens abound. Several fine restaurants a short distance away.

Lovely, clean and comfortable. Will visit again for sure!
