We just returned from a weekend at the Inn at Walnut Bottom. If you are looking for a B&B is that is quaint and quiet this is not it. First of all there are no pictures of the rooms on their website. Our room was dull and boring with false ceiling that had a couple of brown water stains. The walls were covered with blue wallpaper and the flooring had a dirty pink wall-to wall carpet. There was constant traffic noise coming from the street. We could also hear the people walking, coughing and sneezing as they were staying in the room above ours. That takes away from the ambience of a typical B&B. To make the stay even more painful, there was no hot water at 8:40 in the morning, we had to take a shower with lukewarm water. For around $170 including taxes for this room, it didnt seem worth it to us. We like to travel a fair bit and have tried numerous other B&B's, and have never regretted our stay.

The only good part about the bed and breakfast is it proximity to the shopping/dining area. I would recommend you to ask for more pictures before you make your reservation.

Convenient walking distance to the town,recommended restaurants in town were above average. The town is interesting with some unique shops , summer weekends had music in the center of town.Crabby Pig had great seafood, especially the crabs.Queen City Creamery had good deli sandwiches to take on train and a helpful staff.
The B & B was very clean, the breakfast was outstanding, the common area was open to other travelers for conversation, the bed was not very comfortable, private bath was also very clean. Some street noise.
The Western Maryland Train Station is a 5 minute walk.

My sister and I had the room on the uppermost floor, which was the only issue we had. There was no elevator and no -one to help with our luggage. The stairs could be a problem for guests with health issues or just age issues. We managed though. We loved the room. It was clean and comfortable with it's own bathroom. The breakfasts were wonderful although we did have to specify a time for our meals. This is understandable, though, considering everything is freshly prepared. There were some street noises but this is to be expected, considering the inn is located in the city. It is not advertised as a "country inn" and anyone complaining about the noise should have anticipated some considering the inn's location. That should have been a no-brainer. There is a popular, chain hotel on the opposite side of town sitting right next to the railroad tracks, so you want to complain about a few cars? (Plus, your breakfast is not included with the price of your room so there is that added cost.) I'm on my way back this weekend,as a matter of fact,and looking forward to it.

For the price I paid I was expecting much more! The furnishings were indeed on the shabby side not to mention drab. The bathroom (as was the rest of the room) was clean but dull and the shower stall was remarkably small. Our room had a view of the street and was subject to street noise. The TV was small and the envelope sitting in the room labeled "Housekeeping" was beyond tacky.

The breakfast was good though. I had the creme brulee french toast. But the service was slow. I would stay here again only if the price actually fit the accommodations.
