“The Bavarian Inn, perched in Shepherdstown, emphasizes its scenic location above the Potomac River with an appealing infinity pool and beer garden. I admire the long-standing Asam family hospitality, reflected in personalized service and a unique on-site brewery. While some rooms show their age, the hotel's AAA Four Diamond award and Wine Spectator recognition suggest a commitment to high standards. It strikes me as a solid choice for travelers seeking both historic charm and modern amenities.”
