The Historic Boone Tavern surprised us with it's homey welcome, comfortable setting, genuine, strong historical past and helpful staff. Instead of an impersonal business feel, it was like coming home. And the various plaques and pictures that told the history and strong influence Berea university has had over its century+ existence were informative and encouraging. It was wonderful to know that through some very confusing periods, Berea was assisting students and standing with the oppressed. A light in the darkness of human history! We will definitely stay there again if we are traveling through the area!

The location was perfect. I was there for a family event, but was able to visit and learn about Berea College and thought that was a bonus. The staff are excellent. Perfect on that account.

Absolutely divine. The building was breathtaking, from the architectural aspect to the staff. Enjoy a trip to the past in the comfy little tavern, and if you're an inquiring potential college student, pop on by Barea College right next door. I appreciate the politeness of the staff and the amount of care and attention they put into this little tavern. Many of the college students work the Tavern, and my they do a fine job. If you're looking for a calm get away, or share a love for all things history; I suggest staying at the Boone Tavern.

My husband and I stayed at this beautiful historic hotel in Berea, Kentucky for a night on the way to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The hotel was nicely decorated, clean, and amazingly beautiful. The grounds are beautiful and well up kept. Located on college a campus, it was actually a very pleasant place to visit. The queen and king bedrooms were very comfortable; we stayed in both rooms a week apart. The restaurant was very nice for breakfast and dinner; the dinner options were delicious and served nicely hot. The drinks were delicious as there was a great selection of libations. We loved our experience so much that we booked it again on our way back home from the Smokey Mountains. We would consider staying here again.

The location was beautiful, right on the Campus of Bereas College, the charm of the old building was lovely. Lot's of history to read when looking around the hotel. The food was great and the staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Very clean, has character, not cookie-cutter hotel like so many others. A little pricier, but I thought it was worth it. We were just passing through on our way from FL to MI, and it’s only a short drive off I-75 but staff so friendly, clean, mattress very comfortable! On our way back to I-75 in the morning we stopped at a local coffee shop to get lattes, coffee and breakfast sandwiches to go. Great stop! Shoutout to Native Bagel - great local shop. Be sure to stop there. Glad we chose HBT.

Hotel was beautiful and rich in History. I love that the hotel is owned by the college and supports the school. The staff was great and everyone was happy to share the history. Loved the coffee shop that also serves cocktails and small bites.

It’s a wonderful old, historic Inn, so lacks some modern attributes but the charm, warmth of the staff, and setting on campus more than makes up for them. We had a dog with us and asked if we could get dinner served on the porch, and they were pleased to do so, even though we were the only ones out there. Food was great!

Loved the location, the staff, the historic ambiance. Extra special surprise was being referred to Papa Leno's for dinner after Boone's restaurant had closed. Papa Leno's Italian sandwich (cold) was excellent.
