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.
Very cute location in the town square. Loved the multiple huge windows in room 4. Thank you again Josie for your flexibility and sorry for our late arrival. We loved the convenience of the coffee shop on the first level. Thank you!
