lots of character and southern charm!

Not a great experience here. We arrived around 7pm and weren’t greeted by anyone. Our keys were left on a table. We had no idea where our room was and had to track someone down to assist. The room itself was fine. Bed was hard and like another review stated, you can hear the outside traffic. Our room did not have a bathroom attached to it and we had to walk down the hall and our door stuck and was difficult to shut. Breakfast was fine.. nothing special. I was disappointed in the lack of assistance from anyone. I didn’t feel very welcome here.

We loved our room (the Piedmont room) at The Shaffner Inn! It was spacious, beautiful, historic and comfortable. The staff were accommodating to all of our needs and the hospitality was outstanding. This was a great place to stay and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

The moment we walked into the beautiful Shaffner Inn @4:00 in that afternoon we were greeted by the lovely “front desk Kayla”. (There are Two Kayla’s on the property ?). She showed us the spacious room with a super comfortable bed and decorated with antique and original decor! The inn has a very interesting history so check it out! We were instructed by Kayla to let her know if we needed anything. Kayla was very kind & sincere! Later we asked her for dinner recommendations. She replied "Di Lisio’s Italian." It was a very short walk from the property and our meal was amazing with great service! (Ask for Hector, he was our server). After dinner we returned to the Inn and enjoyed a glass of wine at the well stocked bar inside the inn. During our stay we met other staff members, including the other Kayla, and her husband Austin who have years of experience in hospitality and handling wedding events (they have a venue for those of you looking). All of the staff we met were genuinely kind and very attentive! The full breakfast in the morning was also excellent. We were also impressed by the security of the property and overall beautiful setting! 5 star rating for The Shaffner Inn!! My Husband & I were thrilled to find this Gem and will return!! There was nothing to dislike

Can’t beat the location for convenience. Access to the parking lot was a little difficult due to the location.

Shane was a wonderful host and made me feel very welcome. 1907 home was beautifully decorated and walking distance to restaurants and Old Salem. My room was very comfortable. Signage was lacking in where to enter the inn. The breakfast was a bit lacking for such an historic inn. I expected a restaurant on site, as mentioned in the booking site.

The Reynaldo Room was very loud. Heavy street noise & loud music from cars. If you’re a light sleeper this room isn’t great.

We were on town for the Bowman Gray race. The inn keeper was great. The room was beautiful and the bed was great. The continual breakfast had eggs, sausage, bacon fruit,etc. Fresh orange juice. Definitely would return

It's a beautiful historic home and our room was spacious and comfortable. The staff were very friendly. The breakfast was prepared fresh for us and tasted good. We walked to an excellent Italian restaurant nearby that they recommended to us. There was a lot of street noise.

Shane was very helpful, a great host. Loved the uniqueness of the property. My room was beautiful and comfortable. Inn was walking distance to most attractions and restaurants I was interested in. Complimentary wine in the evening was a nice touch. The lack of a restaurant, as mentioned on the website. Breakfast was not what I'd expect in an historic inn. Shared with the staff during my stay: Lack of signage on the property to guide guests to reception.

Breakfast was very good. The eating area, was comfortable. The staff was helpful and very friendly. The room was spacious. Attic room was dark with dark furnishings and little natural light. We wish the dinner restaurant was open.

We loved everything about the Shaffner. It was comfortable with an excellent breakfast. We were greeted with a glass of wine by a very hospitable staff. Our room and the house were darling, we'll decorated and furnished with old charm. Comfy bed with a spacious room. We will be back! Hhmmm.... There wasn't anything we didn't like!
