Abilene's Victorian Inn

This is a nice little b&B in Abilene, is. It's nothing fancy, but appears to be well cared for and they provide a good breakfast. Luxurious? No, but simple, clean and well managed yes. What did I appreciate: lots of hot water in shower, a chair and light in room for reading, breakfast, location near downtown ( walking distance to restaurants). No serious complaints, except the bed was hard for my tastes. Suggestions: spruce up the room a bit by adding a pleasant bed cover.I just read another review and am appalled to hear they screen for "traditional couples only". If that's not true, please tell me and I will eliminate this comment. If it's true , I'm sorry to have supported your business with my stay

I keep hoping that the reviews about accepting only traditional couples weren't true. There are enough that I decided it probably was. I am a part of a traditional couple, but certainly marked it off. I drove to Salina to stay. Seems like interstate commerce would preclude this type of discrimination.

Wow!!! Incredible hidden treasure. Food is amazing. Rooms are incredible. Spent 2 days at the Inn. Will be back.

I stayed at this Inn the night before visiting the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum. This Inn is definitely in the perfect location as far as proximity to the Museum goes - it's just down the street. Perfect!The Inn prefers that you check in during a certain time period so they can ensure they're there to greet you. I had a meeting that resulted in a late arrival on my part, so I called ahead to let them know when I would be arriving and they accommodated easily and kindly. When you arrive, you park at the back of the residence, but you enter at the front of the residence. Those with mobility issues should take note and plan ahead for that. Along that same line, this property does not appear to be wheelchair accessible. All of the rooms I saw were upstairs and the entrance required several stairs to access the porch. However, I may have just not seen other options - calling ahead to ask may be best to make sure.I was greeted by Adrian, who checked me in and showed me around. She was very attentive about what I could/would eat for breakfast the next morning, which implies a lot of experience on her part and being conscientious about not wasting food. I definitely appreciated that. I stayed in the Hurd Room, which was perfect for my needs. I was there in October and the room had a small space heater provided for use, which I was very very grateful for. I know that I'm more sensitive than most to cooler temperatures, so while most people would probably have been fine, I appreciated being able to make the room fit my preferences on my own.There is a large array of movies that you can borrow to watch, most of which are older and asking classic lines which is nice to take a step back and enjoy. There were also cookies and tea available through the evening.I've seen other reviews and noted myself that some bathroom areas can be quite small. However, I saw that as a result of converting Victorian spaces into modern lodging areas. Areas were simply smaller in that era than we're used to now and keeping the integrity of the space has the natural result of cozier accommodations. I personally didn't mind any of it, but I can see how others might.The bed was comfortable, but be aware that this is a typical Kansas town that was built around a railroad station. So trains still run through there very frequently and at all hours of the night. If that will disturb your sleep, plan accordingly. I honestly don't think you can stay anywhere near the museum without that aspect.Breakfast the next morning started with a yogurt, fruit, and granola parfait. Adrian makes the granola herself on site. The entree for that morning was French toast with a fruit reduction and bacon. It was very nice. Overall, it was a very nice stay in a historic home with prices very comparable to any local hotel.

We loved staying at the Abilenes Victorian inn. Our hosts we friendly and informative. Love to hear the history on the beautiful home. Our Breakfast was excellent. We will be recommending this B&B to all Abilene bound travelers.

This place is sweeter than a cake made of pie. A lot of it's been restored to its 1880s style; it's a lovely old home in the middle of a residential neighborhood. We stayed in the Eisenhower room (complete with a giant picture of Ike!) and it was comfortable and well-kept. The balcony is fantastic. One of the owners had fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies ready for us when we checked in (!!!!).Our suite had a (tiny! so tiny) bathroom. We were shown the cabinet full of VHS tapes in case we wanted to watch a movie (ADORABLE). But here's the best part - you know how most B&Bs throw some danish and a cup of coffee at you in the morning? Not this place. They asked my husband when he booked if we had any dietary restrictions and he mentioned that I avoid wheat when I can, but that it's not really a big deal. And when the breakfast part of the B&B experience came around... there was an epically delicious frittata, orange juice, coffee, fresh fruit, and while the other guests had fresh-baked biscuits, I got a big ol' slice of HOMEMADE, gluten-free banana bread. I am not even freaking kidding, you guys. How amazing is that?If we ever have a reason to stay in Abilene again, we'll be staying here.

Just OK. Innkeeper is not very personable, doesn't seem happy and it definitely conveys in conversation. Perhaps the " hospitality" business is not for her. Bed not comfortable at all. Front big Victorian porch underwhelming, needs some serious TLC. Everyone else's surroundings porches were beautiful to gaze at. Breakfast & coffee was good, that's about it.

Hello, me and my family stayed here at Abilene's Victorian inn, this place is OUTSTANDING! The people were super friendly, the food was amazing, and the rooms were nice and clean. If you are visiting Abiline, I really recommend you stay at this hotel. Owner: you guys are the best people I have ever met! Thank you so much for making us have a wonderful stay. I cannot thank you enough.

This is a very clean and well run Victorian bed and breakfast. The Victorian decor is nicely done, not overly done, as we have seen in others inns of this style. The rooms are spotless. The inn is within walking distance of many of Abilen's attractions. But the breakfast, oh, the breakfast. We looked forward each day to the amazing creations by Chef Adrian.

This house was built in the 1880's and is a wonderful example of old Abilene in it's hay day. We really enjoyed our breakfasts here! Very hospitable, warm and nostalgic.
