The Storefront is a good place for a couple who want a place where they can entertain some friends in the evening while visiting Staunton. The downstairs bar and TV room (the "storefront" part of the property) would be a great venue for entertaining, for example, a group of 4-6 friends who had rooms at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel across the street. One serious flaw is that the downstairs area is NOT stocked with glassware for such entertaining, and there are only 5 sorta-water/wine glasses upstairs in the kitchen. So you would need to find/bring your own bar ware for a group. The downstairs has a powder room, so evening visitors don't need to use the upstairs full bath. Another hitch to be aware of is that the single thermostat is in the downstairs bar area. We were there on a night in the 30's, and the entire upstairs got too warm for comfortable sleeping. I had to get up twice to go downstairs to turn the thermostat down--eventually to 62 F--to keep the bedroom area comfortable, even with a book holding one of the large windows in the bedroom open for ventilation. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, but the tableware and glassware are on the thin side for serving any more than two people. With a little extra furnishing and better temperature control, this would be a great property for hosting an intimate party for friends.
