Came down for a weekend (Saturday-Monday) for our honeymoon. Staff was amazingly helpful when I called to have to have some amenities waiting for us in our hotel room. Staff communicated by call, text, and email! Made it a very easy process. Late check in Saturday was easy and the whole experience was awesome. Also, the little cafe has some great coffee and cappuccino :)

Shower, bathroom, closet, dresser, chair & 2 robes. No refrigerator/no elevators. Our room was held in the main house, 2nd floor. The Inn is associated with the Congress Hall across the street. We had a parking spot for our car in the lot. This cozy boutique like inn reminded me of the home I grew up in from the bathroom tiles, door knobs and the creak of the wood floor slats. Check in is located right at the lobby coffee shoppe in the man house portion. Just adorable. Despite its quaint Victorian look, the shower and amenities were bright looking and updated. The front main doors are locked at night with a code as the inn keeper is only there during the day. Late comers; check in across the street at Congress Hall. If you have multiple rooms book in other guest’s names and is checking in late, be aware that that room cannot be checked in until that party arrives. Umbrellas for guests to use in the lobby. The room was meticulously clean. We also had turn down service. The most lovely housekeepers! Ice bucket, drinking glasses and bottles of water were available in the room. Shower included shampoo/soap products. PS we had a view of the ocean in our room and it was wonderful. We sat in the covered porch a few times to chat and check out our shopping purchases. Washington outside mall and all the local stores are right down the block. The beach is one block the other way. I despise I am letting everyone know about how wonderful it is. I want to keep this gem to myself.
