I’ve dined here before and the food was excellent. But staying here added a whole other level to the experience. The room was large and well appointed and charming. The hosts were gracious. With room service and wine to go and live jazz in the bar, it was just what we needed for a night away.

Beautifully renovated while still keeping the old charm. There was live jazz music on the Saturday evening we stayed there, so with the hand crafted cocktails, it gave the ambiance a real speak easy vibe. Highly recommend staying if you are looking for a quaint river town getaway experience.

Everything about here is excellent! Location, food, the room we stayed in, conditions of the hotel. Me and my fiancé loved it a lot. The restaurant in the hotel is excellent. We definitely will come back here when we’re in the area or close to it. Thank you very much for a wonderful service you gave us.

National Hotel-Frenchtown

So enjoyed staying at this little jewel in Frenchtown. The owners are in the process of a tremendously creative renovation which includes a sushi bar. Great to see a family proprietor create a new contemporary rebrand of a 1850 treasure. Loved the live jazz Friday night. Great vibe!

It was a nice place I didn’t know it had no elevator but they got us a room on the 2nd floor so we didn’t need to walk up to the 3rd fl

Absolutely clean and spotless. But, no bathrobes available, as described, which would have helped since the room was quite cold. Amenities included soap, shampoo and conditioner plus tissues, no more.

My husband and I spent 2 nights at The National. We picked Frenchtown for a quiet getaway near the Delaware River to celebrate our anniversary. I'm so glad we ended up at this owner! The owner, Cara, is amazing. The food, service, and live music were all wonderful. They had a jazz band on Fridays and Saturdays, which completely changed our stay for the best! Our room was clean and comfortable. We'll be back!

Rooms are very modern and clean, staff was super friendly and enjoyed sitting out on porch having cocktails. Only complaint is the noise in the morning from traffic on street. For such a quaint little town there is a lot of morning traffic and horn honking. Loved everything else otherwise.

Great room, very spacious and clean. Parking was available behind the hotel which was convenient. We had to search for someone to check us in and no one was on the premises at checkout. They do have a key drop by the front door but there was no one available if you needed anything before 12noon.

We loved the historic hotel, but we had to search for someone to check us in- the woman tending bar handed us a key to a room on the 3rd floor. The stairs were steep and there was no alternative or help. We are both seniors, many of my peers would not have been able. There was no information about this when I booked us online.

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It was a beautiful little boutique hotel. The room I was in was not particularly spacious. There was no desk or anywhere to write. In the bedroom, there were only two light fixtures, and each had a 25 W lightbulb in them. The bathroom was oriented so that the light did not shine into the bedroom. There is a bar and restaurant on the first floor that was quite busy on Friday and Saturday nights, And quite noisy as well. The crowd from the restaurants and bars made it impossible to find parking space at the hotel, but I did find a public parking lot across the street and down about half a block. The water pressure in the shower was fabulous, but the shower itself was a little less than 30 in. Square, Measured by the 2 inch tiles on the floor.

Three star property with a great staff and fun bar. Could be 5 star if they fixed a few issues. The bedding is polyester cheap and the furniture situation is odd in multiple rooms. My room the only storage for clothes, etc was a shoe cabinet from ikea, which is not great. The closet was nice but they did not have a luggage rack, and with no dresser and only one chair really no place to unpack or leave a suitcase but the floor. My friend’s room had a tv console as the only storage and zero chairs/couches/seating except the two beds, and their room was plenty big enough for a few chairs or even a couch. The headboards are cloth, which isn’t great for preventing bedbugs, and the shampoo and such dispenser was full of random different smelling products. The towels were clearly from the former version of the inn as they still had steakhouse on them and were pretty frayed, and one of mine was dirty. The staff was great and the bar was good, but was also super loud in our rooms until the bar cleared out between midnight and 1am. Overall a nice place if you want to be in Frenchtown and was very convenient for our purposes, but be prepared for some bedding and design issues and noise.
