What guests think
Reviews of Smithfield Inn describe a charming historic property in a walkable, central location, with many guests praising friendly staff and appreciating the convenience of nearby shops, restaurants, and parking.
However, several reviews report unmanned periods and confusing check in or check out, with codes, keys, or limited responsiveness causing uncertainty. Rooms range from comfortable historic suites to smaller spaces, with recurring issues like incorrect bed types, occasional noise, and some maintenance or cleanliness lapses (e.g., faulty A/C or showers, and one bed bug report). Many enjoy the bakery breakfast voucher and the inn restaurant, though some disliked being restricted to the bakery, encountered unclear restaurant hours, or questioned the voucher's value. Expect a quaint, central stay with charm and friendliness, but be ready for independent logistics and occasional quirks.

Smithfield Inn is in a great location of town, walkable to shops, restaurants and a brewery. It is an old building, no elevators and most rooms are on the second floor. Restaurant and bar at the Inn are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so keep that in mind. You can only get ice at the bar. We had a problem with the air conditioning in our room and we were able to change rooms after one night. Parking convenient, voucher for breakfast at cafe 1 block away. Staff in restaurant/bar and housekeepers were very friendly. Weird check in after hours, they give you a code to get in the door and leave key in envelope on a table in the hallway. No other information given. The Inn keeper called us prior to arrival to explain the door code. I spoke to her several times during our stay and ran into her once as she was leaving. I'm not sure if she ever comes into the Inn. It felt like we were the only guests, so I'm not sure why we got the room with the broken A/C and very small room (Sprigg room).

The Inn is located in the middle of all the shops and restaurants on Main Street. Our room was next to the garden with parking right behind the house. The restaurant was an added bonus with very good food atmosphere.

The property was two buildings on Main Street of the town of Smithfield. The building we stayed in was a detached building, The Inn itself had considerable history. When we arrived Friday evening there was a wedding event and a reception on Saturday, which occupied the main building. Since we were staying in the detached building, this was not a problem. However, on Saturday morning, we learned early that the exterior of the building was being renovated. Nail guns and banter of the work crew was a bit jolting. We were visiting family so we did not spend a lot of time there during the day. There was a dinning room and bar in the main building but we did not experience either. Being an old building we found there were not sufficient electric outlets for the items we usually travel with, computer and recharging of devices, phones, etc. There was a TV in our room but the offerings were very limited. The bed was comfortable but it did not leave much space to get around in the room. The bathroom was sufficient and the shower had been renovated.

Loved the feel of the place, location and amenities. However, by 8 PM the place is all closed up other than your room. You can’t access ice, may or may not see any staff, they all leave. The mattress was terrible, rolled to the center of the bed. Husband ended up getting eaten by bed bugs, his back, arms and legs. Our visit started great up on arrival but by morning things were different.

The staff here is fantastic! I love the history that is acquainted with the the Smithfield Inn. Although it is a very old establishment, my room was clean and had all the modern amenities other hotels have. One of the special features is they have an agreement with the Smithfield Gourmet Bakery. You receive a voucher for up to a $12 value for a HOMEMADE breakfast of your choice! Smithfield is a very charming, safe, walkable town with many shops, restaurants and sites to see. I have family who recently moved here and the Smithfield Inn is where I'll be staying when visiting.

We stayed 2 nights and the room was clean and it Is very convenient to restaurants and boutique style shops. The wait staff and the cleaning staff were very friendly and helpful. The management was aloof and didn’t explain the breakfast hours to us or seemed concern when the hairdryer blew (which happens). When my husband took the broken hairdryer to management they thanked him and never offered to look for another one. There was no urgency to find a replacement. It was not a bad experience just not a positive experience to return.

The only drawback was that we were expecting a king sized bed but had a queen. Other than that, it was a great place in a great town.

Historic Smithfield has a lot to offer just steps away from Smithfield Inn. Hope to return at some point in the future.

The cottage house was really cute, I liked tha there was a common space inside with a fireplace. I wish there was pictures of the house and descriptions because I was not quite sure what to expect. There were 4 rooms and 3 bathrooms. One room was supposed to have 2 twin beds but there was only a double so that was disappointing to find.

We had booked and paid for a king sized bed and were given a queen sized bedroom. We were desperate for sleep and we can only sleep well in a king. It wasn’t a casual request, it was a necessity. We did arrive late evening and were texted a code for the door. We never had any human contact so there was no recourse to be had. My suggestion is that you phone ahead to confirm your room choice before arriving. Also note that you do NOT have a choice as to where you have breakfast. You will be given a small coupon for the bakery several blocks away.

This was our second visit. We had a three room suite that was very comfortable. Our room was over the front porch on Main Street and it still managed to be a peaceful space. We enjoyed a good meal in the restaurant. I would call this a quirky place because on Sunday no staff was present. We didn't know to expect this so missed getting coffee pods for our room. Next time we visit we will plan ahead.

What surprised me is all the good reviews when there was no one to greet us. We called several times just to figure out check in because the only instructions were just the key lock code. The staff were pleasant and kind. The room itself was fine. Checking out was worse, no one was there. I called and saw people in the back but they let the call go to voicemail. No instructions how to return the key, it was like no one cared if we left, how was our stay, nothing. We eventually left the key in the room since we didn't want the key floating around. Bare bones, when we saw people they were very kind. Otherwise it was a weird stay, like they didn't want us there.

Lovely property and full of history. Check in was wonky and check out was worse. To check in we had to go to the bar/restaurant and ask "where's check in?" The bartender checked us in, which was fine, but a bit odd. When we checked out the next morning the downstairs restaurant was closed and locked, so there was nowhere to check out. We ended up leaving the physical key in our room and hoped for the best. Going forward, the hotel should alert guests to the lack of check out, to aleviate confusion. We emailed and texted the Inn, but never received a reply. With all of that said, we loved the property and would stay there again.

It was a phenomenal experience in a beautiful setting, quaint and charming town, with an exceptionally friendly owner and staff! The shops are really nice and the location is close to other areas of interest. Highly recommend!

We stayed 2 nights and the room was clean and it Is very convenient to restaurants and boutique style shops. The wait staff and the cleaning staff were very friendly and helpful. The management was aloof and didn’t explain the breakfast hours to us or seemed concern when the hairdryer blew (which happens). When my husband took the broken hairdryer to management they thanked him and never offered to look for another one. There was no urgency to find a replacement. It was not a bad experience just not a positive experience to return.

Smithfield Inn is in a great location of town, walkable to shops, restaurants and a brewery. It is an old building, no elevators and most rooms are on the second floor. Restaurant and bar at the Inn are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so keep that in mind. You can only get ice at the bar. We had a problem with the air conditioning in our room and we were able to change rooms after one night. Parking convenient, voucher for breakfast at cafe 1 block away. Staff in restaurant/bar and housekeepers were very friendly. Weird check in after hours, they give you a code to get in the door and leave key in envelope on a table in the hallway. No other information given. The Inn keeper called us prior to arrival to explain the door code. I spoke to her several times during our stay and ran into her once as she was leaving. I'm not sure if she ever comes into the Inn. It felt like we were the only guests, so I'm not sure why we got the room with the broken A/C and very small room (Sprigg room).

The Inn is located in the middle of all the shops and restaurants on Main Street. Our room was next to the garden with parking right behind the house. The restaurant was an added bonus with very good food atmosphere.

The inn's restaurant and tavern earn strong praise, and the bakery breakfast voucher is popular. Some guests disliked being limited to the bakery, encountered unclear or closed hours, or found the voucher value confusing.

We enjoyed our stay at Smithfield Inn. We have stayed at this facility several times before. The only issue we have staying at this Inn is that we have to go down the street for breakfast. The breakfast voucher for two provided by the Inn is for $24. I ordered a $5.99 bagel sandwich and my husband ordered a $9.99 fritatta. We each had a cup of coffee at approximately $3.00 each and that was all. At the counter, the waitress said we owed an additional $9.00 plus. This did not include tip. We questioned it slightly but did not want to make a scene. We do not know how a breakfast that should have cost $21.98 less tax, ended up costing $33.00 plus, not including the waitress tip. The breakfast issue was the only complaint we had with our stay.

The staff here is fantastic! I love the history that is acquainted with the the Smithfield Inn. Although it is a very old establishment, my room was clean and had all the modern amenities other hotels have. One of the special features is they have an agreement with the Smithfield Gourmet Bakery. You receive a voucher for up to a $12 value for a HOMEMADE breakfast of your choice! Smithfield is a very charming, safe, walkable town with many shops, restaurants and sites to see. I have family who recently moved here and the Smithfield Inn is where I'll be staying when visiting.

We had booked and paid for a king sized bed and were given a queen sized bedroom. We were desperate for sleep and we can only sleep well in a king. It wasn’t a casual request, it was a necessity. We did arrive late evening and were texted a code for the door. We never had any human contact so there was no recourse to be had. My suggestion is that you phone ahead to confirm your room choice before arriving. Also note that you do NOT have a choice as to where you have breakfast. You will be given a small coupon for the bakery several blocks away.

This is a very nice old historic inn. It has a restaurant that serves lunch and dinner, and a bar inside, as well as a shady garden with places to sit outside as you enjoy a drink or food. Nice big porch out front with chairs on it too. Our room had another sitting room in it that was nice to have. Not sure if they all do. It includes a free, great breakfast at a sister property a few doors down where the food is made fresh for your order. The property is well kept, clean, and the staff great. The gentleman that manages the Inn was a source of great local history too. Of course being a historic property the doors don’t fit tight (they are safe and lock fine), the floors made not be perfectly level everywhere, and bathrooms nothing great, but clean. The property is kept up very well and if you like historic places to stay it was great. I would call it a perfect getaway for a couple. The other thing is it has a great location. Everything in town is easily walkable. We parked the car in their lot, and didn’t need to move it, unless we wanted to explore things out of town. I would recommend this as a nice change from the typical hotel chains (that I have no issues with too).
