My teenaged daughter and I stayed at The 1785 Inn for one night in August 2007 on our annual school shopping trip to North Conway. We stayed in Room 14.

We were charmed by the Inn's many original fixtures and thought that the woman who checked us in and served our breakfast the next day was just wonderful - attentive and considerate.

Our room was sparsely decorated but immaculate and the beds were very comfortable. The pillows were a bit hard though. The closet smelled a bit musty but hey, this place is 220 years old! We didn't use the closet anyway.

Our room overlooked the busy road outside - and when big trucks drove through some of the light fixtures rattled. We got used to it rather quickly and wasn't an issue.

The pool was sparkling clean and warm and it was nice to cool off in after a hard day of shopping.

The "living room" area's TV was rather old and could use updating.

The bathroom we used (shared) was immaculate and even had most of the original fixtures! It was hard to get a consistent water temperature in the shower though.

Breakfast was delicious - homemade raspberry muffins, and the most delicious blueberry pancakes I've ever eaten. (also coffee, bacon, juice)

In all we enjoyed our stay here and may very well stay here again in the future!!

“loved the food”

1785 Inn

1/1 found this review helpful

We stayed 3 nights. The breakfasts and dinners were superb. The rooms were comfortable -- not all the amenities of a modern hotel -- but we actually liked the quaintness. Perhaps they have remodelled because we found it in good repair, especially for such an old, historic building.

“an okay stay”

1785 Inn

22 May 2007

I stayed here for two nights in Feb 2007. I was in one of the rooms with a shared bath, traveling on my own. The stay was okay for what it was, I needed a clean place to spend a couple of nights knowing that I will not be in the room during the day at all. Got a discount as a single traveler ($20 off), breakfast was good, shared bath was passable - setting water to something that is neither extermely hot or cold is somewhat of a challenge.

I will probably stay again. It's close to N Conway, not a far ride to mountains.

“Not Worth The Price”

1785 Inn

15 Feb 2006
1/3 found this review helpful

Dropping $100 for dinner for 2 is not too bad in Boston, but after hearing rave reviews about the 1785 Inn Restaurant in North Conway my wife and I tried it. I would have been better off at Burger King and spent the other $90 at the outlets! Bad Service, Small Portions, and soot from the fire made our evening "poor at best". We also stayed at the Inn and left after only one night (the stains on the ceiling were enough to drive me away).

“Excellent Hospitality”

1785 Inn

20 Jul 2005

The 1785 Inn is not set up for small children and all the rooms are not fully decorated and do not have air conditioning. When I booked the room I told the staff I had a wife and 13 month old child and would need a crib for the child. I was told they had a crib in the room....not what they had was a single bed....thankfully we took our pack and play. We asked to be moved and the staff relocated us to a brilliant room, still no crib but the room was recently redecorated. If staying in the 1785 Inn I suggest you make sure your room has air conditioning and if possible your own bathroom. If you book a room do not book rooms 1 or 2 as you will be sharing a bathroom with your neighbor and the bathroom is absolutely hideous. The bathroom tile is loose and there is mold throughout the bathroom and the paint is peeling off the wall. The breakfast in the morning is excellent and the entire staff is personal, courteous and friendly. The 1785 Inn is old and needs a facelift, especially in the bathrooms. The showers blew hot and cold water and there did not seem to be anything that could be done to regulate the water temperature. I would stay at the 1785 Inn again but I would ensure I had my own room, bathroom and air conditioning.
