Exceptional Staff, Exceptional Restaurant, nice neighborhood, Historic well kept property. Because it’s a historic building, you will have to climb stairs because there are no Elevators. Also, no TV in rooms.

Excellent physical and social character throughout. They’ve made a solid effort to modernize — some of which work, some (like a faucet 10” above the bathroom sink basin) don’t.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The first thing that was a huge turn off was going to the room through a bar and side service hallway. The hallway was very run down and dusty. When we opened the door to the room, an overwhelming smell of mold and dust overpowered us. There was no separate bathroom, the toilet was in the room, behind half opened wall. Next to it was a bathtub, stained and scratched. The was no way I was going to shower in it. The bed sheets looked clean but smelled of mold. For the price we paid- few hundred dollars- it was a disgrace. We checked out after 2 hours because we couldn't take the moldy smell. Had to get another hotel room.

Cute hotel, but thin walls

The hotel is very charming! I loved the history of the place! The restaurant/lounge was also awesome, you must try the Tabard donut! The only negative was how thin the walls are. I could hear the neighbors next door and the street noise was loud til about 1am.

Penthouse!

We stayed in the “penthouse” room, which is a huge room with a king and queen bed, plus a small kitchenette and private bath. We were there for business and a little family getaway with my wife and 11yr old son. We all loved the room. We all love the Tabard in general, the eccentricity of the whole place: the art, the general vibe, the FOOD!

Great central location and lovely character-ful hotel with great staff. The suite is on the top floor of a narrow stairwell so if you go for it make sure your guests are mobile. The hotel is so cute. The trade off is that the room has poor soundproofing and the neighborhood is quite loud at night. We were up late so not a problem for us. The only minus was the queen bed which was uncomfortable and is on a very creaky frame so every toss and turn is audible. Would still recommend as it is a really beautiful experience but some of the little tradeoffs might bother some folks.

I really liked the historic features of the property and the old-fashioned furniture. Even a claw foot tub, updated with a very nice shower! I was a little surprised at no tv, but since I don’t watch tv it was no loss—there is internet. The location and convenience of the Metro is key. Thank you.
