James Buchanan Hotel, Trademark Collection By Wyndham

A little peculiar and old but very nice and special place. Feels like you stepped back in time, but I kind of think that’s the point. Our room was like an entire apartment and really exceeded our expectations. The pictures were really limited and did not do it justice. We had a lovely time though, and the food was actually really good at the restaurant.

There is no longer a breakfast offered. Update your online info as we would not have stayed there. Street traffic is very noisy n you are sleeping a few feet away. Restaurant was empty n did not have available food that was on menu. Not much in the town anymore just a noisy traffic town now. Beautiful history n well preserved but disappointing. If your town library is best thing going in the town, that says alot about the town.

Very clean Area

Beautiful historic inn in perfect location for visiting Mercersburg Academy. Comfortable bed and very nice linens.

Close to Whitetail The TV setup and my room heating both ran by remotes and NOTHING WORKED!!!! the Inn manager could not help because he could not understand my questions nor was he able to fix the problems, at 11 o’clock at night after a shower I realized that my room was not getting warm he wanted to switch my rooms but I was unpacked and showered, I should have asked him for a blanket but in my anger and his lack of underwing my English and the issues of not having a television to watch because I had no idea how to use the damn set up of the remote controls and the remote was not working for heat, he ran into a room grabbing another remote and in handing it to me it looked like it had a big bugger smashed on the top of remote, how gross he just looked at me smiling and shaking his head not knowing what to do with me! Then in morning came down for coffee and breakfast no coffee only Decaff?and the breakfast layout was sad and in the dark no English muffins bread or a bagel to be seen 2 big bottles of water but with caps that needed a bottle opener no cream pathetic just pathetic setup I’m not sure what I paid for it. I guess a cold bed and a hot shower. I guess that was the best part.

Clean historic rooms, the staff was friendly and fun, the breakfast could use a protein source instead of all carbs and fruit.

I called twice in the week leading up to our visit to confirm the sleeping arrangements for my son. I was told there was a full sized sofa and also a roll away bed. When we arrived the twin bed had a pad less than an inch thick, no extra sheets for it. I was able to add another mattress from a roll away after asking but the sofa was no where near big enough for anyone to sleep on. The temperature controls in the rooms are very confusing, not sure what actually worked the heat and what didn’t. The wall unit, at least in the bedroom area didn’t work at all, even when just trying to turn it on fan. The road noise is extremely loud and there could be curtains or blinds added to keep out light and some of the noise. The hot water was almost nonexistent in the shower and would change temperatures from hot to cold to scalding while trying to take a shower. We were als told twice that the room contained a microwave and planned and bought microwaveable food for our trip and then when we got to the room, noticed there was no microwave. It seems like the gentleman running the front desk could have bee more attentive to the questions I was asking, could have had sheets, roll away bed with decent mattress already in the room since I had called in advance and inquired and made a point to him that we would have a kid with us that would need the second bed. The housekeeping was attentive and provided anything we asked for. The bed was comfortable and the layout of the room was nice.

Nice hotel with great location in Mercersburg. Staff was very friendly. Rooms were clean. Design of the room wasn’t ours.

The old furniture Dirty hair and dust in bathroom. Put bath mat on floor and hair was on it.

The room was clean and the restaurant was great. The breakfast was terrible - no silverware to be found. 1 bagel and packaged pastries. No butter or cream cheese available. No plates to eat on. Front desk is unmanned most of the time, so no help. Toilet in room clogged and no way to fix. The room was clean and the facilities were fine. Location is great.

The entry was difficult to find coming from the north, there was no signage for parking, the room lacked outlets. It would have been nice to see some of the historical information in the lobby.

The hotel was very quaint. There was nothing around but it really didn't matter because we were visting family the two days we were there. I wish that they had some kind of cable for the TV instead of a fire stick. We had a hard time trying to found regular TV stations. The resturant that is connected to the hotel was nice the food was fabulous. Didn't care for the bed. My husband and I have a king size bed and the queen was hard to get used to.

The TV wifi was scattered

Great location, very clean rooms and very accommodating staff

Nice hotel but smelled Bed bugs

Lovely historical property with the staff sharing tidbits of history with their service during our stay.

Great stopover coming back north from Atlantic coast! Historic and charming hotel. Nada

Historic building Not clean

Unfortunately the service during Thanksgiving was non existence. The TV didn’t work, the sheets were laundered but visibly stained and there was no room service even when requested each day of my four night stay. A call to the number on the “How was your stay” survey for the hotel was answered with concern and that he would check it out in person and call me back. NO return call since my call in December. This is now February and I am left with calling Wyndham directly with this sad report.

I would recommend putting up curtains in addition to the blinds because the hall light beamed in all night. There also is nowhere to get ice or water, so bring your own.
