I only stayed at the Irving House for one night for a business trip, but had a great experience! The staff were very kind and welcoming, and the building was gorgeous. The free breakfast was also great. If I find myself in the area again, I’ll definitely stay at Irving House!

I really enjoyed staying at Irving house for a few days. It was reasonably priced, the location was good, and the room was comfortable. I was staying on business, but would also consider staying with my family.

Great stay!
Noah, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent place to sleep for 8 hours.

Excellent for one night stay when speaking at a conference and you will have little, if any time in the actual room.
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

My room was smaller than expected and a little warm, but the bed was extremely comfortable. And I had to share a bathroom, but it was always immaculate. I also never had to wait to use it, nor was anyone knocking on the door while I was inside. The breakfast was surprisingly varied and delicious for a continental breakfast, too!
