Joseph Ambler Inn

I recently stayed at the Joseph Ambler Inn while attending a business conference, arriving the night before the meeting. There is a lot to love about this property. First, the food was exceptional. I had both the filet and the salmon during my stay, and I’m fairly certain I’ll be dreaming about those meals for a long time. Beautifully prepared, perfectly cooked, and genuinely memorable. If you visit, make time for lunch or dinner (or both!). The conference facilities and historic buildings are equally impressive. The entire property is absolutely gorgeous, full of character and history, and impeccably appointed. Our meeting space was elegant, comfortable, and provided a wonderful setting for a professional event. Everywhere you look, there’s another charming architectural detail or thoughtfully designed space. Overall, Joseph Ambler Inn excels when it comes to atmosphere, dining, and event spaces. The property is stunning, and the restaurant alone is worth a visit. However, basic room maintenance and reliable hot water are fundamental expectations, and my overnight stay fell short in those areas. I’d happily return for a meal or another conference, but I hope the guest room issues receive the same level of attention as the rest of this beautiful historic property.

Unfortunately, my guest room was a very different experience. The shower had visible black mold where the shower walls met the floor, which was unpleasant and concerning. Even worse, there was no hot water. The shower handle would not turn beyond the midpoint, and after letting the water run for nearly twenty minutes, it remained cold. I eventually gave up and started my morning with a cold shower I never intended to take. That's not the kind of wake-up call anyone wants before a full day of meetings.

I liked everything. Some paint chipping on corners, fine !

Years ago, there was a crazy owner … who was absolutely nuts. The facility seems normal NOW, although I think they lost a lot of customers due to him.

Charming, clean and comfortable

The spa tub was great. My partner was really stressed and after a nice dinner in the pub, a restful soak in the spa tub was exactly what she needed.

Nothing. Joseph Ambler Inn is a great place!

Attractive property and beautifully landscaped.

The website advertises a "good" breakfast, It was awful - "grab and go". No hot food, no breakfast room. I had to drive around looking for a breakfast restaurant. There was no elevator and room was on second floor. Mattress was also uncomfortable.

Clean and affordable

Ask to have bed fixed never happen

The property was beautiful.

The doors are a little thin. I could hear people in the hallway really clearly from time to time.

Lovely, good-sized old-fashioned room.

Terrible bed with a soft, saggy mattress. Also, dangerous rotten step on the outside entrance to our building.
