Summary: I loved my stay at the VF hotel. There was a mix up when i arrived, but it was quickly fixed with a short call to the owners from the gal working there in the restaurant (who was extremely friendly and helpful). I loved the convenience of self-check-in and out and having the restaurant and bar underneath, which was amazing. Valley Ford has come a long way since i was raised in the area in the 80s and it is adorable and bustling with quaint eating establishments, the robust market, and the old faithful Denuccis. I will stay here again!

Summary: On a motorcycle trip with my wife. We have stayed here during the pandemic and we wanted to come back to visit the area again. Only issue we had was that the reservation envelope was not out on the porch when we arrived at 3pm. And communication was a bit slow. We got into our room at about 3:30 after several phone calls and help from the restaurant staff. Other than that slight delay our stay was great.

Summary: Cute old small town. Close to desirable locations.
Elizabeth Jul 12, 2025 12:53:27 AM
Summary: We stayed here for one night and it was just lovely. The check-in was easy: there was no front desk, they just gave us a code to unlock the front door and a code to unlock the room. The property is older since it is an historic building, which I found charming. The whole property is 7 hotel rooms upstairs and a restaurant downstairs, with an outside patio. Our room was quaint and clean and had the usual things you would expect to find in a hotel: minifridge, coffeemaker and coffee pods/creamers, soaps/body wash/shampoo/conditioner. I liked that the bar of soap they gave you in the bathroom was a little slice of what I assume is handmade lavender soap, not the usual pre-packaged corporate soap you usually see in hotels. It's the little things, right? Also the bath towels were great - thick and luxurious and plenty big. My only complaint about the room is that the bed mattress was a little too soft for my preference. Also I don't think there was an ice machine available, but I just went downstairs to the restaurant below and asked the bartender for some ice. She also told me to let her know if there was anything else I needed, so I guess the restaurant staff doubles as the hotel staff if needed. We had dinner at the restaurant downstairs (Rocker Oysterfellers) which was very convenient, and we had a delicious meal. There is also another fairly well-loved local restaurant in the same little town, and Cafe Estero across the street where we had breakfast the next day.
