Overview
Overlooking the Potomac River, the Bavarian Inn is an homage to German culture nestled just an hour away from both Washington D.C. and Baltimore. This picturesque, 72-guest room hotel lies in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, just across the border with Maryland.
This award-winning hotel goes for a European alpine lodge theme and has the comforting luxuries to go with it. Many, although not all, of the rooms feature a gas fireplace, whirlpool tubs, and large sitting areas. The Bavarian Inn also features special rooms that have views of either the Potomac River Bend or this historic Grey Stone Manor, built in 1930. For guests looking to truly indulge, the hotel offers both Royal and Presidential Suites, featuring amenities such as double-sized Jacuzzi bath tubs.
Of the hotel’s facilities, the centerpiece is the Infinity pool that looks out over the scenic Potomac River. Open only seasonally, the pool offers guests scenic views and relaxing recreation during the warmer months. The Grey Stone Manor also plays host to the Bavarian Inn’s renowned restaurant. Serving all three meals, the restaurant serves an award-winning mix of classic German food and comforting American fare. With a grand opening in 2019, the hotel’s newest addition is Bavarian Brothers Brewing, offering seasonal beers and matched small plates.
History buffs can enjoy the proximity of important Civil War battlefields of Antietam and Harpers Ferry. Other nearby activities include golfing and shopping in Shepherdstown historic German Street.
European elegance and a comforting alpine feel make the Bavarian Inn a relaxing retreat.

Pros (+) Ample space, walking distance restaurant, great food selection, nice underground bar, comfy room with fireplace and electric heat.
Cons (-) A better view than the parking lot.
Pros (+) Rooms was clean
Cons (-) Arrived late for check-in and despite notifying the desk that we would be there at that time they were genuinely surprised to have us walk in at 8:30pm. To make matters worse, because we booked through a third party site via kayak, they had no record of our booking.

Pros (+) The food was amazing. The location was perfect. Lots to see and do in the vicinity.
Cons (-) The rooms were very old. The pink tub and shower are in desperate need of an update.
Cons (-) Coffee was weak. Coffee is crucial. Room service coffee was worse. Bringing your own coffee would be good advice, if you care about coffee. Some finishes were run down-tub surrounds, carpets.
