This place is unique. The history is interesting and we definitely feel the Jefferson room ghost! I had the best steak of my life at dinner. Every member of the staff has been sweet and accommodating. Its a bit pricey, but worth it. They even left cookies in the room for us

If you’re into historical dining and stay, this is it! We had the best dinner followed by the best accommodations. The bed in the Washington room was so comfy!!! We enjoyed looking at the old books around the room in the cozy sitting area.

The beds were really bad. Both my wife and I and our two friends had beds that were very uncomfortable because they caved in towards the middle. Had to sleep on the very outside edge of the bed. Otherwise, it is a fabulous place to stay and dine.

Staff and food was very good . Our room had no hot water and most of the light bulbs were burned out and the creamer for for coffee for the room was very old, it was butter consistancy also we found this to be very unsafe that we were left there all night with no attendant there.

Response from Manager of the Inn. on 15 Aug 2023
We are terribly sorry you didn't enjoy your stay. Staying on the second & third floor does take a while for hot water to reach the spigots. All overnight rooms have one main switch in the room that controls all lights so maybe that was the problem? Again, we are terribly sorry for your inconvenience.

Outstanding stay
This place is a gem! Our dinner and complimentary (free, freshly cooked) breakfast were both amazing. The staff was beyond helpful, kind, and attentive, and we enjoyed all there was to see. So many details have gone into making the tavern and inn so interesting, as well as welcoming and comfortable. It was a great overnight getaway. We’ll be back!

This is our 3rd overnight stay at the Spread Eagle Tavern & Inn, but we’ve dined here about 10 times over the past 14 years or so. We always enjoy the service and ambiance. At least five fire fireplaces are spread throughout the dining area giving it a cozy and romantic feel. If you like history this is the place to be. Many political figures from over the past few centuries have visited here, and it was also a landing point for slaves traveling through the Underground Railroad. The food is excellent along with classy service. A true fine dining experience!

The atmosphere was lovely, although, we checked in at 3 and was told that we couldn't have a drink because the place was closed? They crammed us in a corner for dining and the waitresses came across as fake with the "my pleasure" and excuse my reach which happened about 15 times during our meal. We ordered dessert which took about 15 minutes to serve. Where was the owner? Why did we have to stay in our rooms until 5 and couldn't have a drink because the servers weren't old enough? If you are going to charge that much, then make your guests feel as special as you think you are.

We are terribly sorry for your inconvenience. Almost the entire state of Ohio and surrounding areas were hit with a terrible ice and snow storm. We closed, as did many businesses in our area, for the safety of employees, road crews, etc. I could not access your request from my computer at home so I did not respond. I am very sorry this happened. Also, you were not charged. The Spread Eagle Tavern does not charge a customer until they check in.

Disappointed!
An Incredible Piece of History- Unfortunately it was Tainted with Extremely Partisan Political Propoganda. A framed picture of a man swinging to punch a cardboard cutout of a woman is not funny or appropriate. I dont care who she is. Violence towards women is not funny! It was also the worst night sleep I've had in a while. The mattress was so uncomfortable I had to sleep at the bottom of the bed!
Stayed 1 night in Apr 2021
Response from Manager of the Inn. on 12 Apr 2021
We would like to offer these two points to your response: 1) the Spread Eagle Tavern has been host to many famous political figures over the past three decades. Their photographs are framed throughout the Tavern. This includes U. S. presidential candidates, two sitting Vice Presidents of the United States, various U. S. senators and congressmen, federal judges and justices of the supreme court…political figures of both political parties. One could hardly call this “political propaganda”. There are no photos condoning violence towards anybody, not women, not anybody. Rather, the political figures that have been photographed are a matter of historical significance specific to the Tavern. 2) The bed that Ms. Tanner complained about is an antique, four poster “Wayside Inn Thistle Bed”, hand crafted by one of the finest furniture makers in America - The Stickley Furniture Co. The box spring and mattress have been upgraded and the bed is perfectly level – I verified this myself. Frankly – the manner in which the guest desecrated this bed was absolutely appalling…unspeakable in the mess left for our staff to clean up after. What nerve it takes for this woman to critique our establishment after leaving one of our premier guest rooms in such a manner as words cannot express.

Beautifully maintained historic tavern and Inn from 1837. Wonderful food for dinner and breakfast. We stayed in the George Washington room with two fireplaces. Across the hall was the Thomas Jefferson room with the door open. A despondent woman in the 1800s tied a rope around her neck and jumped out of the from window. Her ghost has been seen and heard but she didn’t bother us. The staff is gracious and efficient. Original antiques everywhere. A house at the end of the block was on the underground railway. History at every turn.
