Smithfield Station

Always nice staying at the Station when visiting friends and family in Smithfield.

Quite possibly the cleanest hotel ever! Restaurant was a bit slow due to staffing, I think. But the food and friendliness of the staff was excellent. A bit steep price, but the "niceness" of the stay added value.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Everything was very clean, and the hotel was within walking distance of town. There wasn’t an elevator though and the stair noise was a little loud. Otherwise, this was a great hotel!

We loved how quiet and relaxing it was. I loved how the linens had a nice smell (other then normal bleach). But if you want to see the town don’t go on Sunday. It is all closed.

Liked: Beautiful facilities, clean, nice and helpful staff, convenient, good breakfast Did not Like: Incense smell in elevator/lobby, employees smoking in front of the lobby entrance, wish that staff was more knowledgeable about other sightseeing in surrounding areas.

Peacefulness and just being on the riverfront, the location & the scenery was unbelievable. The restaurant was excellent and the free voucher for the Sunday buffet was awesome. I will be coming back soon. This was a great stay ......

Cute, quaint, comfortable, quiet. Everything you want in a seaside hotel. Bathrooms are very small so keep that in mind. Would definitely stay again.

This is a unique and quaint hotel in Smithfield overlooking a marina. Check in was a breeze and the staff was very friendly. We stayed down the way from the check in lobby in the 3rd flor overlooking the mania. Nice view. (Note to get to the room you must enter the restaurant and walk up the 2 flights to the 3rd floor). The room featured wood paneling and was well appointed. The beds were quite comfortable and the room looked newly renovated. Take a walk along the docks, go for a swim in the pool and have a bite at the restaurant (We had a shrimp over potato pancake app with old fashions. Both were excellent). Bottom line, we enjoyed our one night stay and even though it did not have an elevator I give it 5 starts .

I am not sure how this property is rated so high, but if you are booking based on the rating; there are some things you should know. (I walked in with high expectations.) Positives: nice location on the water, friendly staff, generous continental breakfast, visually appealing lobby, lovely view of the Pagan River, decent balcony, lots to do in the area/easy access to Windsor Castle Park Negatives/Overpriced (because): very strong mildew odor in the room and halls (probably the lobby too, but we were nearly choked out by the overpowering odor of multiple diffusers masking it), not clean-various hairs in the bathroom and stains in the tub, poor lighting in the room, dusty valences, room rather small, overall dated bathroom and decor, small room, easy to hear people in other rooms and hall. It just didn’t feel clean or relaxing.
