Had amazing time in the hotel with my daughter. Staff is very helpful and kind. Breakfast was really good - everything you need. Appreciated lady Jemma in the breakfast area ( most likely mispronounced her name) - super kind and nice. Our room was vert spacious. Wine serving is incredible. Very classy and cozy hotel which is really difficult to find nowadays

I really enjoyed my time at White Swan Inn. I reached out the week of my stay for an early check-in and was grateful for a quick response! I was fortunate they were able to accommodate me and check in was quick and easy. I used the valet service as well which is not cheap but was super convenient and in my opinion, worth the money! I would definitely stay here again.

Overpriced and Dirty

Beware of this misleading hotel that robs you. The valet parking sign says $74 for a whole night, yet they charged my card $84 ($10 extra dollars because of taxes. )What they do is park your car next to the garage that charges $20. I had to wait for 30 minutes for my car to be dropped off after I had requested it. What kind of valet parking is that? The free cold breakfast does not make up for the dirty and overpriced hotel. I will provide pictures and you judge for yourself.
