If you would’ve checked your phone, you would’ve noticed that I called you five times that day. Left two messages and texted you three times.. I’m not sure how we could have tried any harder to contact you and be ready for your arrival. I called so many times because we are in the process of changing our number. That is why I personally went overboard trying to contact you.

Nice room but you had to go outside of room to reach your private bathroom Friendly staff. Just note you have to climb 2 flights of steps to reach rooms I am 70 and could not carry luggage that far. Had to remove some items and put in bag to carry up. I was only there for one night so that was not an issue. Breakfast was fine and the location is great.

Hello Kim, thank you for your stay! We do offer rooms that have a bathroom inside of them but you had picked and booked the room that did not. Next time I would like to offer you one of the rooms with a bathroom inside. Look forward to returning. I am a little confused I do offer to carry up everyone’s luggage, and certainly a 70-year-old woman would have my sympathy and help in any situation needed.

Our room (2 beds) is very comfortable. My husband enjoyed the in-room tub very much. Owner Tom was extremely friendly. Breakfast was very good for a B&B. We offered some suggestions to enhance the guest experience, and Tom seemed very open-minded about them. We will stay at the property if we ever are back in the area (Berkeley Springs, WV).

Clean, comfortable, and quiet
The new owner of this inn went out of his way to make sure I was welcomed at check-in, comfortable, and felt taken care of. The room was comfortable, clean, and quiet. The only drawback was that the bathroom, though private, was a few steps down the hall. Breakfast was well prepared with fresh ingredients.

My husband and I just spent our anniversary weekend here. What an amazing place to stay!!! Mary and Tom are the new owners and are great people (as were the previous owners from my understanding). They went out of their way to make our stay special. Mary left us some of her delicious chocolate cake in the refrigerator with some champagne glasses (we had brought our own champagne), and a beautiful rose with a nice note wishing us a happy anniversary. The breakfasts are all fresh, homemade and absolutely delicious. They ask if you have any dietary restrictions before you come and try to accommodate them. Mary’s vegetarian restaurant is on site as well, and we highly recommend it. Gourmet food that even if you aren’t vegetarian (I am not!) you will love! The avocado spring rolls are to die for! Mary and Tom are going to be updating some things, and make some great changes while keeping the spirit the previous owners instilled there. I highly recommend staying here to f you are planning to come to Berkeley Springs! It’s within walking distance to everything in town.

Relaxing Stay in Berkeley Springs
We had a wonderful, relaxing stay at Maria’s! The room was perfect for our weekend stay. The bathroom was detached but private. We had to walk a few steps down the hall, which wasn’t a big deal. The breakfast each morning was great-coffee (only instant decaf), teas, juice, bagels. One morning was French toast and eggs, the next was blueberry pancakes and eggs. It’s located right in town so we walked to the shops, restaurants, and spa. There even was a Fairy Festival in the nearby park. It rained on Saturday afternoon so we lounged on the covered porch for two hours. Such a nice weekend!

Proprietor/owner Curtis is a very friendly person, who interacts with the guests on a daily basis, not overbearing, just they’re more like a friend. Tom/Mary that help in the kitchen were also very warm people. The inn does show its age, rooms aren’t very big, well the Blue room isn’t, maybe some are larger. It would be tough for a person with compromised abilities to climb the steps. We really enjoyed our stay, location is in the heart of town so you can walk to a lot of places. All rooms had private bathrooms, some in hallway such as ours, but still private to us, and had all that we needed. Thanks Curtis 👍

Curt was a great host and I loved this house and our room. There was also a big living room to hang out in, many games to use, snacks and drinks available, and the place was beautiful as well as very clean. Curt made us feel so welcome and comfortable there. Then he made us a delicious breakfast in the morning. My husband and I were biking the C&O trail and Curt picked us up in Hancock so we did not have to ride out on our bikes. That was so great! We easily walked from Maria's to a nice place for supper in Berkeley. The town was lovely. We biked back to Hancock & the trail the next morning but I would not recommend it on skinny tires as we ended up riding on the stones off the paved shoulder because the trucks did not move over when passing us. Fortunately we had mountain bikes and we were able to deal with it. We highly recommend Maria's Garden and Inn. Give Curt a call!

The B&B is a mix of historic and contemporary architecture. Inside it's a warren of whimsical renovation, which I found charming. Housekeeping does not clean rooms while they are occupied. The restaurant is permanently closed, replaced by a spacious common area and a connected tea & alternative health shop. The innkeeper makes himself available to you without hovering or intruding in any way, and will happily tell you of his family's long history of hospitality in Bath. If you wish to avail yourself of the fridge, be sure to bring cash! It's on the honor system, so be honorable! Masks are tolerated but not encouraged. The most convenient walking distance to the springs, shopping, and to 7-Eleven. Plan breakfast ahead of time. If you oversleep and miss the included meal, there are limited eating options in the immediate area in the morning.

We had a very nice stay at Maria's. Everyone was friendly, amenities were excellent, and the stay was relaxing. Shower this morning got a little hot because of the plumbing being used by others, but this was the only (very minor) quibble. Will definitely return when in Berkeley Springs (Bath).
