The Cornerstone Inn is a unique and awesome boutique hotel in a quaint, historical town near Washington, Illinois. The beautifully renovated building mixes old architecture with modern touches, perched on a bustling corner. Rooms are spacious, super clean, very comfortable, and full of character, with gloriously high ceilings and fun surprises like a desk lamp that is also a Bluetooth speaker. The hotel offers a unique, self-service experience with no front desk staff; guests text for requests, which are promptly handled. The location is perfect, within walking distance of antique stores on the square, a great modern restaurant, and a fountain. Within the same building is a friendly local bar called the W Down Under, with daily specials and a cool vibe, and a cute coffee shop called faire Coffee for great coffee. While some note the expectation for more personal service and a better breakfast offering, the overall experience is one of warmth. Prices are very reasonable, making it a gem of a place that guests are eager to recommend and return to for future trips.
So glad to have chosen the Cornerstone Inn for my night in Washington - the room was beautiful and very comfortable and the location was perfect. Thank you.

We had a thunderstorm & sirens one night of our stay. But otherwise enjoyed; big, beautiful & clean, liked the location (sans sirens, etc.) and great service. Though a hot breakfast was not served, a good variety was available.
