Washington Inn -
Testimonials

  • Ginny--this was a very special anniversary to us this year. When we arrived, we were made to feel that we were honored friends, not just guests. it was so nice that we got an upgrade to room #1--and when we entered the room--to have a lovely bottle of Prosesco chilled and waiting for us to enjoy was a lovely way to start our visit. We enjoyed all the special places at the Inn--the porch was lovely--we enjoyed the continental breakfast and noticed that we could get up late and still have breakfast waiting for us to enjoy. We loved the walk into the Saratoga Park--it is wonderful that the
    Inn is located so close by. Thank you for the passes for us to enjoy the Victoria Pool--it was lovely and refreshing when the temperature was hot and humid--especially after a day at the races--

    Thank you for everything--especially the book I recieved about the races--I am enjoying. Thank you to everyone who made this anniversary so memorable.

    Sincerely,
    Marilyn & Frank
     
  • A belated Thank You for making our visit another enjoyable one.

    I have finished reading Saratoga Race Course. What a great read, just filled with factoids.
    In reading the introduction, I smiled at the reference to Joe Bokan as the energetic proprietor
    of the Washington Inn, while happy tears filled my eyes to the writers reference of sitting on
    the front porch of the Washington Inn. The front porch is a special place to relax and reflect,
    be it with a coffee or a cocktail.

    As in the title of the book, Saratoga is The August Place to Be. Judy and I think the Washington Inn
    is The Saratoga Place to Stay .

    Extend our thanks to Joe, for another pleasurable stay.
    Go Fordham Rams!
     
  • The Washington Inn was the first and last place I had looked for a reception venue. From the moment I went to take a tour and had met Ginny, I knew this was the place. Ginny was amazing and made my husband and I feel like family, always greeting us with a hug. It was so nice to have the Inn for the ceremony and also the reception as none of my guests had to leave. Having accommodations available for out of towners was definitely a plus also. The setting was beautiful especially for October. Thank you Ginny for being a part of our special day!

  • Ginny and Joe,
      James and I are approaching our 1 year wedding anniversary. This has made me think about our big day and how wonderful it was. I realized that I was remiss in sending my praise and gratitude your way.
      Our wedding day was so perfect for one reason - The Washington Inn. The location, guest rooms and ballroom were more than we could ask for and the two of you were absolutely amazing. Ginny, you made me feel like we were family and as such there was no detail that you weren't going to oversee. I fully believe that the caterer completed their tasks on time because of your prodding.
      Every guest commented how at home they felt. Our wedding felt relaxed and cozy because our guests could stay long after the caterer had left and go up to bed when they were finally too tired.
      I would more than recommend your Inn to any future bride that wants a unique, beautiful, homey wedding.
      Thank you again for going above and beyond to make our wedding weekend the perfect event that people are still talking about!

    With our Gratitude,
    -Megan and James R. (April 18th, 2009)
     
  • It is rare to find the kind of customer service with a personal touch that I experienced while working with Joe and Ginny from The Washington Inn. They went above and beyond during less than ideal winter weather to make a safe and comfortable atmosphere for our training session. I felt so welcome and would highly recommend The Washington Inn for anyone planning an event in the area.

  • Dear Joe,
       Thank you very much for allowing me to hold my daughters shower at your beautiful Washington Inn. Ginny was most gracious and was extremely helpful in making our special event memorable for my daughter Franca.
       I love the ballroom because it is so sunny and elegant.  Everyone had a wonderful time, and remarked about how lovely the Inn is, especially my local guest who had never been there before!
       Many thanks Joe for your many kindnesses to me.  I am very grateful to you for your hospitality, generosity and most of all your friendship.
     
    Most gratefully yours,
    -Mary
     
  • Joe, On behalf of Dudley, Mike, and myself I want to personally thank you for making our annual trek most comfortable and enjoyable. You put so much effort and time into your unique property and business and we really appreciate it. As you complete another racing meet in your special town, just remember that many of us are already looking forward to next year. Oh, the addition of the computer made our experience extra special. Please stay healthy and happy throughout the next year.
    Thanks again!!

  • Joe, I am writing to you to let you know that our entire weekend from the rehearsal dinner to the "after party" after the reception at your facility was great. From the time we arrived to our departure you and your staff were attentive to all our needs, and were never intrusive, we felt as though we were entertaining guests in our own home. The guests over the weekend have traveled far and wide and have experienced many great hotel locations around the country and for that matter around the world, they to a person have nothing but compliments on your facility and accommodations. I want to thank you personally for hosting our daughter and new son-in-laws wedding weekend, you made the entire event one less thing to worry about. You have the perfect location with it's proximity to town and to the Spa facilities as well. Again I would strongly recommend the Washington Inn to anyone, as the place to be in Saratoga, we wish you all the best and hope to have the opportunity to have another reason to stay at the Inn in the near future. Warmest regards
    -David & Denise, Newport, N.Y.
