Bad hotel in a great area. Arrived to find sand all over floors (hadn't been vacuumed), doors that wouldn't close, and loud machine(s) in room above whirring all night long. Definitely would NOT recommend.

There was no TV or hair dryer, which was probably stated in the description so it’s my fault for not realizing. Otherwise it was a very great stay! Super clean rooms and close to the beach and Washington Street Mall!

Beautiful historical hotel with excellent accommodations and staff. Unfortunately area parking is limited, no TVs and shared bathrooms for some units. Additionally no elevator. Breakfast is served for a fee and live music on most days. Beautiful lounges, dining room and porches. Excellent place.

We chose a room based on a photo during the reservation but the room turned out to have a different configuration. The room was comfortable. Good a/c. We had to evacuate one night at10:50pm due to fire alarm but fire dept personnel let us back in a half hour or so later. Self serve water and coffee are available downstairs everyday. The restaurant is closed on Tuesdays. Hotel is a few blocks from the beach, restaurants and the Washington st mall, so good location if you don’t mind walking a little.

There was not enough parking. Last night, in the rain, I had to park 2 streets over (Franklin and Kearney).There is not an elevator, and its tough if your put on the third floor. I understand victorian charm, but the place needs updated. There was a humming/buzzing sound-not sure what that was. I noticed a little peeling paint. I did not eat in the restaurant, so I can't comment on that. The shame of it is the property is rather conveniently located. Also, at least in my room, no fridge or tv, and only one ice machine in the whole place on the first floor. Again, being on the third floor makes this a little inconvenient. No offense, but I was glad to leave today.

Overall run down. There is only air conditioning ( window units) in the rooms. Boiling hot in lobby and hallways. Run by kids. I will not return to this hotel. Although I e block from the beach. The air conditioning unit had trouble keeping the room cold. The bathroom was hot because of poor air conditioning

Victorian era hotel with some modern amenities. Pros: - The staff were friendly and accommodating. - Loved the complimentary beach equipment rental - and cleanliness. Cons: - Lights flickered and - wifi did not work in our room. - At some point during our stay, the water dispenser in the lobby broke and was not replaced.
