Very interesting historic property. Clean rooms, kept decently up to date. A/C worked, which was crucial to comfort even in April. Kitchenette was nice to have. Upper floors are accessible by stairs only, so mobility limited persons should check for lower level room availability. Some rooms are reportedly haunted, if you're into that sort of thing. Though the hotel staff and I are skeptical.

Location is great. Friendly staff and easy check in. This place is OLD, so rooms are small and a little run down. Bathroom was also small. We stayed in a double queen room that was a little snug for us 2 and our 6 yo.

Good value and location

This place is a good option if you’re looking for inexpensive accommodations and are not planning to spend much time in your room. It’s in a great location within walking distance to just about everything and the staff was very accommodating, but the rooms are very small with minimal lighting and no seating options. There are also a lot of stairs and no elevators, which was not an issue for us.

The picture and description of the room was definitely deceiving.We were able to check in early and the guy that checked us in said all of the rooms are all the same but different lay out. As soon as we got in our room we were surprised how small the room was. There was only 1 outlet near the bed. The nightstand was at the foot of the bed so there was no way I can set up my medical device I need to use for sleep. So I went back to the front desk to ask for another room because I needed a nightstand next to the bed. The guy was like is there a way you can move the bed or reconfigure the room so you can use your device? Then he proceeded to say well as long as you didn’t touch anything in your room I can try to look for another room? That’s what pissed me off? Of course we touched stuff in the room he checked us in that room and how were we supposed to know that room wasn’t equipped with the most basic necessities. And why should we have to reconfigure our room? We’re the guests? What kind of customer service was that? I asked to speak to the manager and she wasn’t too friendly either, kind of a dry personality. She handed me an extension cord and asked if that would work? I said no it’s not gonna work and I wanted another room. She agrees and said she will call us when the room is ready since we checked in early. My BF was tired and seasick so we decided to stick it out. We reconfigured the room ourselves and used an extension cord. The drain in bathroom was also clogged.

The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. It wasn’t a luxury property, but we were only there to sleep. Convenient to walk around town to all the shops and restaurants, as well as the beach club for kayak rentals and snorkeling in front of the Casino theater. I would definitely book again!

It was a great time definitely felt like your own apartment. The only thing we would complain about is the bathroom. Very small but that wasn’t the problem just a bit dirty and needed to be updated. But did the job. Past that kitchen was nice and had a full fridge. It was a great place for the time we stayed

The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating from the time we checked in and until check out. They provided helpful suggestions to bike rental locations to make our stay more memorable. The room was clean and neatly laid out. It would get warm during the afternoon time, but the air conditioner and fan helped to keep the room comfortable. One of the suggestions I would make is to fix the bathroom door because it would have to be lifted to open and close it each time. On another note, would be to add another small collapsible table or coat rack to place suitcases or hang jackets/sweaters.

Very historic building, good location and walkable community. Very safe. The hotel is very quiet but the space is very dated and in serious need of renovation. No housekeeping done while we were out and staff seemed disinterested.
