Renovated old building turned into very modern history filled hotel. Fun old horse equipment and assorted antiques add character to otherwise minimalist decor. My only suggestion is there was no chair or desk in my room. Had work and meetings to attend while here.

I love staying at the Weinhard and greatly appreciate the preservation of this small slice of history. Beautifully appointed with antiques and lovingly restored, the hotel celebrates the history of its founder and his place in the community with photographs and narratives. I love the little extras, like delicious chocolates and ever available coffee and tea. We stay whenever going through the area and greatly enjoy the friendly service and warm, inviting atmosphere.

The property was beautiful. We loved the room but wish there had been a small table with chairs to enjoy a glass of wine with one another and play a card game at the end of the day since the bar does close relatively early compared to when we normally go to bed. There is quite a bit of open space in the room for that to be accommodated comfortably. We greatly appreciated the thoughtfulness of a phone charger and a tiny fridge to hold our leftoovers from dinner. Padraic was delightful to visit with over our evening cocktail. We wil be back for sure.

Hotel is clean, but very sparse. There is no on site staff. Room didn’t have any cups, or coffee, or soap at the bathroom sink, only in the shower. Beds were nice and comfortable, but that and some night stands were the only furnishings. When I got to the hotel I couldn’t get in and had to call to figure out how to get in. Was supposed to get an email with checkin instructions but never did. I was supposed to be able to pay at the hotel when I booked but they charged my card right away, which made sense once I got there and realized that wouldn’t have been possible, but it shouldn’t be offered as an option when checking out on Expedia.

We stayed two nights for a birthday celebration trip. Our only issue was my fault because I didn't fully read my email. Check in is fully contactless, so their were details I missed to be able to do that correctly. The owner was gracious and had no problem helping get our room code and other information I had missed. We loved the bar, the drinks were delicious and used fresh herbs grown nearby. There were quite a few locals at the bar both nights, so you know it was good! The location is right in the middle of town so we walked to restaurants, a brewery and the train station museum in just a few minutes. I highly recommend Hotel Hardware if you are looking for a quiet, quaint, quality experience.

Loved the property, building and rooms. The contactless check in was flawless. I would recommend that if you have guests the coffee shop be open on Sunday and the bar be open longer than 5-9. Wonderful place that we will be back regardless of my suggestions

This was not a good experience from
The start. Booked through Hotel.com then quickly realized the wedding party was staying at a different hotel a few doors down. Immediately tried to cancel but because it was within 7 days of the stay they were going to charge me 50% of the first night stay, so chose to keep the reservation. Tried calling multiple times to see if we could check in at 3 instead of 4 ( seems like a very late check in time) because the wedding was at 5 and 20 minutes away…all calls went to voicemail so we had to dress for the wedding somewhere else. When we finally got to the hotel, the code they gave us didn’t work but thankfully the bar was still open and they gave us a key (but you still needed the code🤔). We left for a bit but when we returned the bar was closed and we still struggled with the code to enter the building. Finally got it to work (there’s a secret to it apparently). The room was nice but the sheets were very stiff and the towels very rough…We won’t stay there again.

Dayton is a cute town and the hotel is a gem! We had a chance to meet the owner who is as personable and hospitable as he could be. Rooms were spacious with antique windows and high ceilings. We had a great stay and will return here if staying in Dayton.

Stylish, serene and simply amazing!
Dayton is a hidden away gem in the middle of the Palouse. There is no way you’d expect a renovated design classic like the Hardware in this small, rural but impeccably well kept, town
The handcrafted cocktail bar, The Bobcat, is icing on the cake. We will be back. We are searching for a reason to pass by this way again simply for the Hotel Hardware
Totally Epic! (In a very stylish understated way)

Nicely renovated older property with old time charm. We stayed while visiting family for Thanksgiving and the lobby was beautifully decorated in Victorian style for the holidays. Nice extra touchs like chocolates on arrival and a nice bottle of local Cabernet on departure. Would definitely stay here again.

I loved the character and design. The mix of old and new was really cool. I only wish there had been more amenities. The sheet said there was coffee in the lobby but the room where it was supposed to be was locked our entire stay.
