Planning a Midweek Escape: Why Weekday Stays Are Worth It

When most people plan a getaway, they automatically think of the weekend. Friday afternoon rolls around, hotels fill up, attractions become busier, and everyone seems to have the same idea.

But what if your best getaway didn't happen on a Saturday?

At The Inn at Montross, weekday stays offer a different kind of experience—one that's a little quieter, a little more flexible, and just as memorable. Whether you're looking for a change of scenery while working remotely, planning a romantic overnight stay, or simply needing a few days to recharge, weekdays provide the perfect opportunity to enjoy everything the Inn has to offer at a more relaxed pace.



If you've never considered taking a midweek getaway in Virginia, here are a few reasons why it might become your new favorite travel tradition.

Escape the Weekend Rush

One of the biggest advantages of traveling during the week is exactly what you won't find—crowds.

Instead of squeezing your getaway into the same two days as everyone else, you'll enjoy a more peaceful atmosphere from the moment you arrive.

Weekday travel often means:

• A quieter, more relaxing environment
• Greater flexibility with your schedule
• More opportunities to truly unwind
• An easier transition from work to relaxation

At The Inn at Montross, weekdays create the perfect setting to slow down without feeling like you're missing out. Spend your afternoon reading on the porch, enjoying a glass of wine in one of our inviting common spaces, or simply appreciating the character and history of the Inn.

Sometimes the best part of getting away is having nowhere you need to be.

Turn Your Workday Into a Workcation

Working remotely has changed the way many people travel.



Instead of waiting for the weekend, more professionals are discovering the benefits of taking their office on the road for a few days. A change of scenery can boost creativity, improve focus, and provide the perfect balance between productivity and relaxation.

The Inn at Montross makes it easy to enjoy a productive workday without sacrificing comfort.

Guests can take advantage of:

• Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi
• Comfortable guest rooms
• Quiet spaces for reading or working
• Inviting common areas throughout the Inn
• A welcoming atmosphere that feels more like home than a hotel

Imagine starting your morning with coffee on the porch, catching up on emails in one of our historic gathering spaces, then closing your laptop and spending the evening relaxing without a long commute home.

It's a simple way to blend work and leisure into one refreshing experience.

Start Your Morning with a Fresh Breakfast

A great day begins with a great breakfast.

Guests staying during the week enjoy a fresh, thoughtfully prepared breakfast to help start the day on the right note. Whether you're heading into a day of virtual meetings, planning to spend the afternoon reading, or simply enjoying a slower pace, beginning your morning with a nutritious meal makes all the difference.



On weekends, guests can also experience breakfast at the Innkeeper's Table & Pub, where seasonal ingredients and carefully prepared dishes create another memorable part of the Inn experience.

No matter when you visit, you'll find that mornings at the Inn are designed to be enjoyed—not rushed.

Make Time to Truly Relax

It's easy to fill a weekend with errands, events, and obligations. Before you know it, Monday has arrived, and you hardly had time to recharge.

A weekday escape offers something different.

Without the pressure to squeeze everything into 48 hours, you have permission to slow down.

Spend your afternoon:

• Curling up with a good book
• Enjoying conversation in one of the Inn's historic common rooms
• Relaxing on the front porch
• Catching up on journaling or creative projects
• Sleeping in just a little longer
• Unplugging from your daily routine

Sometimes, doing less is exactly what you need.

At The Inn at Montross, every detail encourages you to take a breath and enjoy the moment.

Experience Historic Hospitality

Part of what makes staying at The Inn at Montross so memorable is that you're not simply checking into a hotel—you're becoming part of a place with centuries of history.

The Inn has welcomed travelers for generations while preserving the charm and character that make historic accommodations so unique.

Original architectural details, beautifully maintained gathering spaces, and thoughtfully appointed guest rooms create an experience that's both timeless and comfortable.

Whether you're visiting for one night or several, you'll quickly discover why guests return again and again.



It's the kind of place where conversations linger a little longer, mornings feel a little slower, and every stay feels personal.

Choose the Room That's Right for You

Every traveler has a different reason for getting away.



Some are celebrating an anniversary. Others are looking for a productive workcation. Some simply want a quiet place to recharge between busy weeks.

The Inn offers a variety of guest rooms, each thoughtfully designed to provide comfort while reflecting the historic character of the property.

Whether you're planning a solo retreat, a couples getaway, or a few days away from the office, you'll find accommodations that make it easy to settle in and feel at home.

Choosing the right room is just the beginning of creating a stay that's tailored to you.

Recharge Before Heading Home

One of the best things about a weekday getaway is returning home feeling refreshed instead of exhausted.

Rather than spending your weekend rushing from one activity to the next, you've given yourself time to recharge before diving back into your routine.

Guests often leave feeling:

• More rested
• More productive
• More inspired
• Better connected with family or loved ones
• Ready for the week ahead

Sometimes all it takes is one or two nights away to reset your perspective.

Why Weekdays Are One of the Best Times to Visit

While every season offers something special at The Inn at Montross, weekday stays provide unique advantages that many guests overlook.

They offer the chance to enjoy the Inn at a gentler pace while still experiencing everything that makes it special.

A weekday stay is perfect for:

• Remote professionals looking for a workcation
• Couples planning a romantic overnight escape
• Retirees with flexible schedules
• Solo travelers seeking a peaceful retreat
• Anyone needing a break from everyday routines

Whether you're staying for one night or extending your visit for several days, weekdays allow you to enjoy the Inn on your own schedule.

Plan Your Midweek Escape

The best getaways aren't always the ones planned around the weekend.

Sometimes the most rewarding trips happen on an ordinary Tuesday or Wednesday, when you can leave the daily routine behind and enjoy a slower pace without the usual weekend rush.

At The Inn at Montross, weekday stays offer the opportunity to work remotely, relax comfortably, enjoy a delicious breakfast, and experience the warm hospitality that has welcomed guests for generations.

Whether you're planning a productive workcation, celebrating a special occasion, or simply looking for a change of scenery, we'd love to welcome you.
