This is a unique and quaint hotel in Smithfield overlooking a marina. Check in was a breeze and the staff was very friendly. We stayed down the way from the check in lobby in the 3rd flor overlooking the mania. Nice view. (Note to get to the room you must enter the restaurant and walk up the 2 flights to the 3rd floor). The room featured wood paneling and was well appointed. The beds were quite comfortable and the room looked newly renovated. Take a walk along the docks, go for a swim in the pool and have a bite at the restaurant (We had a shrimp over potato pancake app with old fashions. Both were excellent). Bottom line, we enjoyed our one night stay and even though it did not have an elevator I give it 5 starts .

The property is in a beautiful location in walking distance to the main part of town and across from a large public park with a wonderful walking trail. Events for a wedding were being held on the property which made parking for hotel guests very limited.

All the rooms are facing the water, and most had a balcony. The restaurant connected to the hotel, and was easy to get to. The hotel was very accommodating and lacked for nothing in the rooms. The food at the restaurant was wonderful, as well as the service. Would definitely go back!

Rooms above a restaurant with breakfast included. Some rooms have water views. Check-in is not where the rooms are which was a little confusing.

We thorougly enjoyed our time in Smithfield. And Smithfield Station was the perfect place to stay. Beautiful water views from the room, large rooms and very clean. The restaurant onsite was excellent with panoramic water views. Walked to several shops and eateries in historic downtown. We hope to come back again soon.

Smithfield Station is a quaint hotel right on the water. My room had a balcony overlooking the boat dock. It's a beautiful setting. The hotel staff was pleasant and helpful. Parking was easy. The restaurant is right next door, great food.

This property was so noisy it was impossible to sleep. The rooms sit over a restaurant and bar, so all of that noise filtrates up to the rooms. Also, when you walk it, the place wreaks of disinfectant, but the place was dirty. I asked for a quiet room and the rude hotel staffer was really nasty and then put me next to the ice maker and stairs. Everyone uses the stairs because there is not an elevator.

Room was very clean and furnishing up to date. Didn’t see charging ports in the room which I thought was pretty much standard in every hotel. Other than that everything was great. Didn’t offer a free breakfast on Sunday, but had a breakfast buffet. Price was reasonable, food choices good, omelet station was great, and staff was very attentive.

It was fantastic. There is construction right in front of the hotel. The bridge is being redone so it is not very quiet on the balconies during the day, but the inside the room was quiet. The service was great. The view was amazing. The whole property was very clean. The hotel is easily within walking distance of the town.

I am not sure how this property is rated so high, but if you are booking based on the rating; there are some things you should know. (I walked in with high expectations.) Positives: nice location on the water, friendly staff, generous continental breakfast, visually appealing lobby, lovely view of the Pagan River, decent balcony, lots to do in the area/easy access to Windsor Castle Park Negatives/Overpriced (because): very strong mildew odor in the room and halls (probably the lobby too, but we were nearly choked out by the overpowering odor of multiple diffusers masking it), not clean-various hairs in the bathroom and stains in the tub, poor lighting in the room, dusty valences, room rather small, overall dated bathroom and decor, small room, easy to hear people in other rooms and hall. It just didn’t feel clean or relaxing.

Hotel is a bit tired. Room was so crowded with furniture that it was difficult to move around. Porch door is glass without blackout shade so the outside night lighting flooded the whole room all night. Internet was out the whole time we were there so no tv or wifi. Front desk was unwilling to make any adjustments at check out.

We’ve been traveling for close to a month and this by far is the nicest hotel we’ve stayed in. Our room was on the second floor with a balcony overlooking the marina. The room was larger than most with a fireplace and great view of the marina. The bathroom was very large. This room had a large king size bed which was very comfortable. The property had a very nice restaurant. We would definitely stay here again.

We spent the night in a room (203) with a broken bed - when we shared that with the front desk at check out - no apologies or attempt to accommodate us in any way were offered- just that the room was already assigned for that night and they would need to fix it for the next customer.

Great staff. So friendly and accommodating. We requested a pack and play and it was all set up in the room upon our arrival. Forgot a toothbrush, and they gave us one, no problem. My grandson woke up early and the staff gave her Cheerios before the breakfast opened. Also requested hot sauce, they went and found some in the back. So nice!!! Great customer service.

We had a wonderful weekend at Smithfield Station! The staff was warmly welcoming and checking in was a breeze. Our room on the 2nd floor had a balcony with chairs that overlooked the Pagan River. It was so peaceful to watch the birds flying about and listen to the sounds of nature. We slept well because the bed so comfortable and cozy. Everything was beautifully thought out and well taken care of. We went to the bar for drinks, and everything we ordered to eat in the restaurant was simply delicious. We will be back!

Our stay at the hotel was wonderful, except one thing....the food... the food is old and awful. First night it was just ok, couldn't eat the mashed potatoes because they were dried out. The 2nd night i went non seafood decided to go with a filet.It comes outcovered everything with this sauce, so excited i cut into steak cooled a little under but there was a smell from it, i thought must be the sauce. I took 2 bits of their overpriced filet, and it was BAD. I mean gone bad with a tainted taste, never ever had a steak taste like that. I looked around there is no one there except few older folks. They used to be slammed with people daily. Its sad what the restaurant of the Great Smithfield Station has become
