This place is so bad it's incredible! Five of us arrived for dinner - the place was nearly empty. First off - drinks. Someone wanted beer but was told they didn't serve it - only wine. The owner of Adams County Winery recently bought the Fairfield Inn and is clearly trying to push their own wines. As we sat there, another party came in and ordered beer and were served - so our waitress came back to the table, apologized, and offered to serve us the beer we originally requested. Then after taking our food order, the waitress came back a second time to tell us someone's order (which was on the menu) was not available. After picking a different entree, a couple with a screaming baby were seated near our table. Although the establishment does accept children and cannot be responsible for their behavior, there was no effort to seat them in any of the two other dining rooms, which were entirely empty. When the food came everyone thought their dish was terrible. Someone admitted to spitting out their food in a napkin. Scallops were small, my Yankee Pot Roast was disgustingly fatty. The salads they came with were skimpy and wilted. After paying our very expensive bill in full and leaving gratuity despite the worst meal of our lives, we left very angry and disappointed. The only silver lining was that at least no one came down with food poisoning that night.

We rented the 1757 suite for three days in order to celebrate my birthday. We initially arrived and walked into the empty Inn and nosed around before we finally found somoene who could check us in. Alas, it was the new owner. He purchased the Inn about 6 months ago. I have to say we were a little disappointed in the approach. The transaction was pretty standard for a hotel, nothing that would be bed and breakfast worthy. As a matter of fact, asked him about ghosts in the Inn and he replied, "I believe in science". Interesting reply for someone who advertises an inn that has been documented as having spirits. Our room was just average. Probably a bit below average as we found a washcloth on the floor of the bathroom and the place was pretty dusty. On day 3, our trash overflowed from not being emptied. Our bed wasn't made on day two because we were still there when the housekeeper came by. Not to mention that we had to get additional toilet paper because we were out. Pretty much, you get a room in this house, nothing more. I've been in several B&Bs where you are treated like a guest in somoene's home. This was not that kind of place. As a matter of fact, we asked to speak with the owner on our last day after we had paid and checked out. We showed him our room. He kept telling us how this is a dusty house. We showed him where the washcloth was in the bathroom. He then put his foot up on the chair in the bathroom to tie his shoe. That just seemed to be in poor form to me. The gem of this place is Terry, the man who cooks the breakfast downstairs. He really does make you feel at home there. This was the one redeeming quality. The house is beautiful and historic, but when weighed against the price that it costs to stay there, I would rather visit it rather than stay in it.

This was the 5th time that my wife and I have been to The Fairfield Inn over the past 10 years. Most of the time it has been around Valentine's Day. Each time we decided to come back, we got very excited since it was always a great experience. This time however, sad to say, will be our last time there. We made reservations for Saturday evening at 5 PM. When we got there, we were seated right away. We believe it was the owner, but not sure. He got us close to the table and pointed that that was our table. He did not have menus for us either. The server came a few moments later with the menus. The drinks we ordered came in a reasonable time. When it came time to order, our server did not mention anything about any specials. We didn't even realize there were specials until after we ordered and we overheard another server telling their customers of the specials. Which brings me to another disappointment. That server told their customers that one of the specials was trout that they had leftover from the night before. Why would you tell customers this information?? So back to our experience.... my wife ordered her duck entree and she asked was the potato was. The response from the service was "I'm not really sure but most likely they are the red roasted potatoes... that is what they usually make" while she was rolling her eyes. First of all, she should have known, and secondly, if she did not know, then she needed to find out. I ordered the filet, done medium. The rolls came out. Well, they weren't rolls, they were biscuits and they were small and there were only two of them. The past four times we had been there, we had received a basket of different types of breads and rolls. This is when we found out that there was a new owner in town. We heard that this happened about 10 months ago. We were starting to see the differences that new ownership sometimes brings. The server did not come around as often as we would have liked, especially to fill our drinks. Speaking of drinks... with the new ownership came the change of them not having a liquor license. Their way around this is to have an employee from a local winery there to serve you their wine. You have to pay for each glass as you order it. There is no tab and they do not put it on your meals check. Ok, I will keep going. Our meals came out. I cut into my "medium done" steak and found that it was more than well done. I ate a few pieces of it, but it had very little flavor. I found it interesting that another couple at another table had the filet also, that was supposed to be medium as well, and theirs too was beyond well done. Our server did not come back, but the other couples server did. They mentioned about it and told her that I had a problem also. She took both the filets and said that they would remake them. A few moments later, the server came back and said that they cut both the steaks open and they did have pink in them, but we couldn't see it in the lighting that was in the dining room. Basically, she was telling us that we were wrong! Seriously, I know when a steak is tough and well done and there was no juiciness to this steak. We mentioned this, and once again she said that there was pink in the center and the new owner buys better steaks and seafood than the previous owner. I wanted to make the comment that maybe the new owner should start buying crappier steak.... because obviously that was better in the past. So, my wife's duck was dry, but edible. The asparagus was overdone. The potatoes and pumpkin fritters were also overdone. There was another group of people at yet another table that had problems with their trout order. I don't know details of that, but there was a problem. You would think that $28 for a filet, you would get this awesome piece of meat. After about 20 to 25 minutes later, the second steak that came out and it was good. Exactly how it was supposed to have been the first time. I just hope nothing "disrespectful" was done to it back in the kitchen. By this time, even if they would have offered to take the filet off of the bill and even thrown in a free dessert (which we would not have ordered after this mess), we made up our minds that this would be our last time at the Fairfield Inn.

So, The Guy(TM) and I wanted to do a day trip in Gettysburg, spend a night, and then do a day in Harper's Ferry... which became Mount Vernon due to a report of inclement weather... which became DC (yay, Spy Museum and Gordon Biersch - review forthcoming) because of seriously freaking inclement weather. But I digress. As always. After spending the day in historical Gettysburg (where we did the auto tour... I do recommend), we made our way to sleepy little Fairfield, PA where we checked in our reservation to the Historic Fairfield Inn 1757. After spending two minutes trying to find the entrance (note to future patrons: it's the front door on Main Street with the restaurant hours posted. You just have to push it... (pull? I forget) push it good... push it real good), we were shown to our room by the innkeeper who was welcoming and seriously funny with his dry sense of humor. Our room was the Major Starr room. It was little and quirky with a bathroom door that resembled a backyard door with a window and flimsy curtain over it (be sure that if you are sharing a room, it's with someone you know very intimately, as in, you know you will not die if that person happens to glimpse you on the loo). The interesting thing was the pennies... situated everywhere. The surprising thing? Our bathtub was a damn Jacuzzi! Not very 1757, but who cares? It's a Ja-freakin'-cuzzi. So, after a night of sleep in what I assume was a 1757-size marital bed after some splashing in the 'Cuzzi, we went to the complimentary breakfast right before check-out. The other innkeeper served French toast with a sprinkling of strawberry jelly, sausage, and fresh fruit. Not too shabby at all. While we ate up, I asked her to explain the pennies (other than our room, it seemed that every nook and cranny was covered!). She told us that there used to be a wishing well, but when that went away, wishers deposited their good-luck pennies throughout the inn. So, if you fancy an overnighter in Gettysburg, give this place a go (you can reserve on travelocity.com ). And be sure to bring your pennies and your wishes.

I have been here a few times in the past for dinner and always enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere. Today, they were advertising a Buffet Brunch, so we decided to check it out. All though we were not hungry enough for all that food, the manager, Jeff, personally showed us what was available on the buffet. There was a great variety of breakfast items, made to order omelets, fish, chicken and prime rib to name of few items The price is reasonable,too. He gave us a sample of the prime rib and it was delicious! We sat at the bar and talked with Jeff for a while about the new owners and the history of the Inn. He then gave us a tour of the place. He is very knowledgeable of the history of the Inn. We definitely will return for a meal in the near future. And I will be writing another review. We were so impressed, we booked a room for our annual "Huzzie" (meaning this in a nice way) and spouse dinner in December.

5 stars across the board! This place is awesome. We stayed here after a day of skiing at liberty. Stayed in the Patrick Henry room. Nice room with a huge claw foot tube. Ate in the restaurant, which was also also Damn good. They have this bacon bowl stuffed with crab meat that is awesome. Wife had the chicken and biscuits. I had the pork tenderloin with horseradish and bacon cream sauce. They really seem to like bacon here which is fine by me. Huge portions! Stuffed us. T After dinner we just kind of walked around the house and looked at all the old stuff from the civil war. The manager is super friendly. Showed us around the place and even invited us for drinks with the staff. Cool move. In closing, cool place stay and eat or just stay or eat. Either way win win. They are really known for their brunch. But we had the breakfast which was money! 8 slices of bacon and some kind of potato dish that terry the chef cooked up for us.

The history of this place is overwhelming. The food was good, and the service was delightful. We went with a group of 32 people and the staff was able to easily maintain great service. The underground railroad secret room upstairs was pretty moving. Someday, we'd like to stay in one of the very unique rooms for the night in this very historic little place.

Beautiful, historic inn (we did not stay here), but disappointing, almost tasteless food, including pumpkin pie--still frozen in the middle--that resembled a cheap frozen pie from the supermarket (however, the server brought a replacement piece of apple pie, after someone else at the dinner told her my pie was frozen). Others said the tilapia was tasty, but the chicken (creamed) and biscuits and the meatloaf were so-so. The ownership of the inn changed just a year ago, and they seem to have some work to do to improve the quality of their food. Was not at all busy for a Friday night.

What a wonderful restaurant! I just discovered it tonight on a web search, and quickly made a reservation. The new owner (also owner of Adams County Winery), provided a gracious tour, including some fascinating bits of history. Imagine an Inn (yes, there are beautiful rooms as well), in constant operation since 1757. Much of the original features still exist, and the numerous stories about the building as well as the town, and a very special "secret" room, where escaped slaves were hidden during the Civil War are all there for you to soak in. There is also a self-guided walking tour available for those who want to explore on their own. The waitstaff are fantastic, and the food was great. I admit, not the best I've had, but a good value for the dollar, and in an unbeatable environment. I am definately going back to explore a bit more, and will bring some friends with me. They'll really appreciate the fine dining and the fascinating history. Don't forget to leave a penny in one of the stone walls and make a wish! All of them are collected at the end of the year and donated to the Salvation Army. For such a great cause, how can your wish not come true??? FYI - The new owner is in the process of obtaining a liquor license, but BYOBs are very welcome. The waitstaff will be happy to provide glasses and open wine bottles.

My husband and I went to the Fairfield Inn as a romantic weekend get away to celebrate my husband's 30th birthday. We drove 2 hours in torrential downpours to get there, only to discover the room we paid $169 a night for did not have heat. The Inn Keepers solution was to give us blankets to bundle up with. Not wanting to bundle up like Eskimo's for the next 48 hours we had to leave and drive another two hours in the rain to get back home. The worst part is the Inn keeper was not the least bit apologetic and was even a bit arrogant about the whole situation. I have read good reviews on the Inn, unfortunately I did not have the same experience. I would not recommend the Fairfield Inn based off my experience.

Great place to stay in a cute town. We were in the Patrick Henry Room (after being switched out of the Major Starr Room, which had a bed that was less than comfortable). It was a spacious room with a gorgeous, roomy bathroom. We loved the deep window recesses in the stone walls! Lots of quirky historic charm. The staff was extremely friendly, and Terry (the cook) was especially great. We enjoyed the breakfasts, but were less than impressed with the dinner. We had the famous chicken and biscuits and found the meat tough and dry. The ham and bean soup, however, was a winner. Bottom line: I'd stay here again, but would most likely explore other dining options.

Overpriced hotel. Dirty rooms. No cable or internet. I booked the suite thinking it would be better kept but ... No. Food is not great either at the restaurant. Ordered the crab and mushroom appetizer. The mushrooms tasted as if they had just come from a jar and for three one pays $11. Not worth it! Stay someplace else.
