Hi, Jean. Thank you for liking the "old" feel, which comes from the building being built by the Masons (opening in 1893 as Masonic Hall and office building); and liking the "new," which our owners, the Smith family, worked hard to incorporate while retaining as many original features as possible. It's nice when this blend of old and new is appreciated and acknowledged by our guests!Kind regards,

Excellent, wonderful friendly staff, very quaint and charming place to stay in Camden and we would stay again. The only negative was we had a corner room upstairs with balcony which was very very lovely but very noisy early in the morning and throughout the day. Lord Camden can do nothing to change this aspect and we would definitely stay again but perhaps find a quieter room.

Parking was a problem. Had to scramble into a small temporary space to unload luggage. No assistance provided. Not worth the cost of the room.
Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023
Response from Erick on Oct 13, 2023
Dear Gary,Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback regarding your stay. While we do send out information regarding our parking prior to our guest arrivals the best that Expedia allows us to, I do apologize that our parking was not clearly presented to you. Our off site lot is a result of many historical ordinance changes within our town, however we persevere to continue to provide a low cost option to our guests by partnering with a local parking company. Our unloading zone experience should be a stress free area as it is a complimentary area to unload at leisure, check in and bring luggage to the room prior to relocating your vehicle to our parking area. We strive to provide service whenever possible and while we do not have dedicated bell service we should still be making attempts to provide the question "may we assist with your luggage". This clearly did not present itself and for that I am sorry we missed this opportunity. I do hope we may have the chance to welcome your return in the future and I would be happy to personally speak with you and assist in making your reservation as I am certain we could overcome and impress upon our values of service here at Lord Camden Inn.Warmest Regards,Erick AndersonGeneral Manager

Good evening, Susan.Thank you for taking the time to post your thoughts about your recent stay at Lord Camden Inn.Kudos must go to our Housekeeping staff for your 'very nice & comfortable room,' and our Breakfast team for a fresh-made breakfast each morning.And thank you for understanding about limited parking, not only at the hotel, but around Camden as a whole. Leasing space from a nearby private owner allows us to offer guests a guaranteed space 24/7 without worrying about parking tickets, etc.Thank you again. I hope you will join us again very soon.Regards,

Exceeded our expectations! Great property! And customer service...? I was blown away when a guest checking in at 9:00pm asked the woman at the front desk about nearby dining options. The guest was told that most options nearby were closing after 9:00pm....and she offered the guest her very own car to drive to other options a half mile away. What!? Mind blown!!!

Response from Denise-Guest Services Manager on Nov 8, 2023
Hi, Barb.I do apologize for the delay in reaching out to you. Thanks for your "great breakfast" shout-out. I will be sure to share that with our breakfast team.I certainly understand that guests can find the private, gated lot, a block from our back entrance, less than ideal. However, we also find that guests find circling around looking for that elusive public space, receiving a parking ticket, or even towed, to be even less ideal, hence the use of the gated.Lastly, I'm sorry you did not find the bed and sheets to your liking. Mattresses and linen packages are rotated on a routine basis. I'll alert the Director of Rooms of your comments.Thank you again for taking the time to post your review.Regards,

Great property, easy walkable center of town location, great views of town and river from our room, wonderful breakfast, and fresh cookies and coffee/ tea available in lobby. Super clean. My one and only issue is parking. Pull up in back (spot can be tricky to get in and out of with so much auto and pedestrian traffic), run inside to get pass key, run back out, park, return pass key to desk... Huge time waste. A pass key should be given to every guest at check-in or a keycode that changes daily should be given. Once waited at desk for 15 min with another guest just to pick up parking gate pass because desk person ignored us and refused to pause her check-in with another guest and see what we needed or call for another staff member to help us. That was my only frustration with the visit. Have a better/faster gate pass key system where guests have their own key, or start using a manual key code that changes daily.
