What guests think
At Inn at Elijah McLean's, travelers highlight very clean rooms, a walkable location with Missouri River views, and a simple self check in setup that many find convenient, alongside an on site bar and easy, free parking.
Guests often praise helpful staff when reached, though the self-service model means limited in-person assistance and occasional issues with access codes. Recurring drawbacks include loud in-room AC, noise transferring between rooms, and light intrusion at night; some also note flat or firm pillows and restricted temperature control. Bathrooms can be quirky (tub-only or no tub) with occasional hot-water or shower pressure issues, and there is no breakfast or robust TV package. Best for self-sufficient guests seeking a straightforward base in Washington.

The rooms were self check in, which in my case was very convenient as we were running late for a concert at the fair. The room was quiet, clean, and really nice. Had one of the most comfortable beds in it. Private parking was a definite plus.

The Elijah inn bar and food area was so cute for the holidays. Pizza was really good! Staff was amazing. We felt like we were in a Hallmark Movie. We had a great time there with a group for a wedding. So many places to drink, eat and shop around the Inn. The trains going by and the river view was a bonus!!!

Ultimately we are satisfied with our stay and would totally stay here again, but couldn’t give it five stars on every category. What we liked: -location: we walked to downtown area from here -quiet: for a holiday weekend, not many were staying here so we had no neighbors. -Easy: easy to check in/out -met our needs for a one night stay - loved the town and the local wineries What we disliked: - bed was ok, pillows were flat - light comes in the room all night - no where to get ice or vending (that we saw)

This Inn is very much no frills, but is done in a very tasteful way, and if you are not looking for a bed and breakfast atmosphere (which my wife and I were not!) then it is great for a night away. We stayed there for my wife's 40th birthday trip to the wineries across the river in Augusta/Defiance and the location was perfect for that. It is self check-in - we didn't interact with any staff during our stay at all. We were also within a very reasonable walking distance to the center of town and some nice restaurants. Parking was free and plentiful. The room had everything that you would expect to find in a hotel room - fridge, iron, small coffee maker. Bed was a bit too soft for my wife's taste, but it didn't really bother me. Water pressure in the shower could have done with being improved. All in all, I would recommend the property and would book again.

We really enjoyed our date night stay! Exceptionally clean and quite comfortable. Real cream for the coffee was a nice perk. Lots of dining options nearby. We never received the email with our access code, but there was someone available to help. The only unpleasant aspect was the temperature. Even though it was cool outside, our room was quite warm. My husband thought there must have been heat running on the first floor, beneath us. Our theremostat would only go down to 68⁰ for cooling. Ive never experienced that before in a hotel.

Everything seemed ideal until it was time to sleep. The door window blinds did nothing to keep the outdoor light from iluminating in, we even layed a bath towel over the door and it hardly filtered the bright light. We blocked the door lock's red blinking light with a pair of socks. Not unusual is the tv and microwave lights we also blocked. What was the worst was the air conditioner. My husband's occupation is upscale home remodeling. He said the air conditioning situation was simply not done correctly. If you are not in a deep sleep, you will be jolted awake by the noise it makes. We did not sleep well. I thought the mattress was wonderful, but the pillows were not. We had a king room with four flat, hard pillows. I'm glad we brought one each just in case of this kind of situation. Because of the air conditioner's jolting noise I would not recommend this inn for the summer. If they take reviews to heart they may be able to fix this problem.

Overall we really liked the place. The room had everything we needed. The restaurant was good, food was good, and staff was very good with our little guy. The self check in, I am not a fan, I am a fan of personal service as a major contributor to an excellent experience, and that was missing. The AC unit in the room was loud enough to wake us up several times throughout the night.

The room was clean and up to date. Very comfortable bed! The only down sides were the room we were in had no shower! Only a tub. When we called and asked for a different room, they advised they were full. We reserved a room for three nights and the rooms were only full one night. The walls are very thin, we could hear the people in the next room talking clearly. Our room was very small but fine for us. Except no shower !!

The room’s walls were paper thin and there was a couple partying until 3AM and I could hear every word. Also, the staff left the door on the side of the restaurant locked. It said enter a 4-digit code (which I assume was my room #) but that was not the case. There was a doorbell on the side and I rang it but no one ever came. The bed was very hard and uncomfortable and the sheets didn’t fit well so when you woke up you found you were sleeping on the mattress cover. Also, there was no tub so it was impossible to soak sore muscles following a long bike ride.

Great location, great property! People were very nice, and the location really can't be beat. 4 stars on service ONLY because they don't clean every day, we weren't able to get folks in the office when we had some questions, and the TV was funky and weren't able to watch a local game (that was available). Honestly, 4.5 would be better.

Would not recommend. You can hear every word people say in the rooms next to you. Bar is not impressive. They're also super rude if you request a late leave. No breakfast either. For the price its not worth it. Not compared to other places in the area.

This Inn is very much no frills, but is done in a very tasteful way, and if you are not looking for a bed and breakfast atmosphere (which my wife and I were not!) then it is great for a night away. We stayed there for my wife's 40th birthday trip to the wineries across the river in Augusta/Defiance and the location was perfect for that. It is self check-in - we didn't interact with any staff during our stay at all. We were also within a very reasonable walking distance to the center of town and some nice restaurants. Parking was free and plentiful. The room had everything that you would expect to find in a hotel room - fridge, iron, small coffee maker. Bed was a bit too soft for my wife's taste, but it didn't really bother me. Water pressure in the shower could have done with being improved. All in all, I would recommend the property and would book again.

Ultimately we are satisfied with our stay and would totally stay here again, but couldn’t give it five stars on every category. What we liked: -location: we walked to downtown area from here -quiet: for a holiday weekend, not many were staying here so we had no neighbors. -Easy: easy to check in/out -met our needs for a one night stay - loved the town and the local wineries What we disliked: - bed was ok, pillows were flat - light comes in the room all night - no where to get ice or vending (that we saw)

This Inn is very much no frills, but is done in a very tasteful way, and if you are not looking for a bed and breakfast atmosphere (which my wife and I were not!) then it is great for a night away. We stayed there for my wife's 40th birthday trip to the wineries across the river in Augusta/Defiance and the location was perfect for that. It is self check-in - we didn't interact with any staff during our stay at all. We were also within a very reasonable walking distance to the center of town and some nice restaurants. Parking was free and plentiful. The room had everything that you would expect to find in a hotel room - fridge, iron, small coffee maker. Bed was a bit too soft for my wife's taste, but it didn't really bother me. Water pressure in the shower could have done with being improved. All in all, I would recommend the property and would book again.

Very nice property and except for an occasional train it was very quiet location. We have stayed at a couple other locations in Washington and the traffic noise was terrible, not so at this property. Great view of the Missouri River and close to all the activities on Front Street. A couple little amenities could be added but nothing that we couldn’t do without. Will definitely stay here again.

The Elijah inn bar and food area was so cute for the holidays. Pizza was really good! Staff was amazing. We felt like we were in a Hallmark Movie. We had a great time there with a group for a wedding. So many places to drink, eat and shop around the Inn. The trains going by and the river view was a bonus!!!

Overall we really liked the place. The room had everything we needed. The restaurant was good, food was good, and staff was very good with our little guy. The self check in, I am not a fan, I am a fan of personal service as a major contributor to an excellent experience, and that was missing. The AC unit in the room was loud enough to wake us up several times throughout the night.

Quaint inn with a clubhouse next door for drinks, pizza and snacks. Nice outdoor seating at clubhouse with view of the river. This is about a 2 block walk away from three restaurants. Would stay again.

Would not recommend. You can hear every word people say in the rooms next to you. Bar is not impressive. They're also super rude if you request a late leave. No breakfast either. For the price its not worth it. Not compared to other places in the area.

Group of 4 riding the Katy Trail in 95+ degree heat. They let us check into our 2 rooms early and everything was excellent. Short walk to downtown for bar and food options. Highly recommend.

We had a very nice one night stay. Room is somewhat small but very clean and comfortable. Self check-in and check-out was easy and convenient. Close to nice restaurants on Front Street, and easy drive to nearby wineries. Wish we had a chance to check out property’s restaurant as menu looked good, but hopefully next time.
