Washington House Inn — Hotel in Cedarburg

My husband and I decided to do an impromptu overnight at the Washington House Inn to break up the dreariness that is February in Wisconsin and do a belated birthday celebration. Although it was only 2 days (one overnight), it felt like longer! We got the "Date Night" special which included a $50 gift certificate to a local restaurant, 2 Wine Tours, and 2 tickets to the Rivoli Theater. We were able to get there early to get our tickets and gift certificate, but our room wasn't ready. (I didn't expect it to be at 11:30am) The package was definitely worth it we used everything between the two days we were there. The wine and cheese hour was great, I only wish the movie had gotten out earlier so we could have enjoyed the full hour. All you can drink wine and yummy cheese and cracker appetizers! Our room was fabulous (216) I loved the in room whirlpool. I think you could fit 2 people, but we didn't attempt it. Very romantic and neat design. The room was very clean. My only negative would be the size of the TV. It was only a little bit bigger than my computer. When we have a nice room and hot tub, we enjoy hanging out in the room and watching a movie or regular TV. It was fine, but I'd prefer something a bit bigger and easier to see from the tub and bed. Breakfast was more than continental, they had pastries, a yogurt bar, an egg bake and lots of fruit. Overall the staff was fabulous. We are a "younger" couple and at times have been treated differently by other bed and breakfast staff. (We don't look like hooligans or anything! :) ) That was not the case at the Washington House Inn. The staff went above and beyond. We had several requests that evening as we ordered pizza but didn't have plates, and we forgot our toothbrushes! We were helped graciously and quickly. Cedarburg is a great city not far from us, but our stay made us feel far away. I can't wait...

Planned a one night stay here a few weeks ago for our anniversary and it was pleasant. We stayed in room 222 and it was nice. The first downside was the couches in the room, they were terrible, especially the couch upstairs. You sat down and just sunk down, which made it hard to door and eat the dinner we brought home. They should be replaced. The other big downside was the breakfast. I had called before I even made the reservation to clarify that they were serving the breakfast advertised on the website and was assured that yes they were it was just being brought to your room, which I thought was great! When we arrived we were given a card to fill out what we wanted for breakfast and the options were hard boiled egg, bagel with cream cheese, fresh fruit, bakery item, etc. Far cry from the delicious looking egg strata or baked oatmeal advertised on the website. They should inform people of the change to breakfast when they make a reservation. It was disappointing for our first B&B experience. Other than that, the hotel was great! It has the perfect location, they were great about following covid protocols, they even left amazing cookies on our door and everyone was very friendly. Look forward to staying here again once things are a little more back to normal and trying out...

We were so pleasantly surprised with our visit. We booked a room when we learned that our niece would be in a play in Fond du Lac but an airshow in the area caused many hotels to be sold out. We decided to try Cedarburg as we had seen some nice reviews of the town. Not only did we find the town absolutely charming, our stay at the Washington House Inn was just what we were looking for. Sue greeted us as soon as we walked in, and let us know that our room was not ready yet (it was only noon), but that she would call us when it was ready. Within the hour, while we were out exploring the town, we got a call that our room was ready! Sue was so helpful and friendly. We actually experienced that with all the staff. Everyone was cheerful and accommodating. Our room was right off the elevator, so I was concerned it would be noisy, but we did not hear a thing. Although the room was small, it was perfect for a good night's rest. The beds were comfortable and the room was very clean. The wine and cheese hour was a nice little perk, and the breakfast in the morning was more than we expected with warm savory offerings and wonderful sweet baked goods. We will definitely be back and will recommend Washington House Inn to...
