The Gay Street Inn is a MUST-stay property for anyone visiting Washington, VA. Drew is the epitome of what a B&B host should strive to be. If Michelin gave out stars for hotels and B&Bs, The Gay Street Inn would have a 3-star rating. Rooms are well-appointed and ultra clean and breakfast was superb! Will definitely stay here in the future!!!
