Not as nice as usual.

Service was excellent as always, room was nice but not as clean or nice as the last couple years. The small table wasn't very clean and the base was dirty with food crumbs on it, both chairs were stained with numerous stains. The rest of the room was clean and the balcony view was excellent.

Great location with a view

We needed a last minute place to stay for the night. Booked around 8pm. Would be checking in late since we had just sat down at a restaurant. About 10pm got a call from the Inn letting us know where our keys would be left as she was going home for the night. This was slighly concerning since the booking website stated 24hr front desk access. Thankfully we arrived and easily found our keys and notes on information for ice machine, breakfast hours etc. Our room was 1st room on 3rd floor (remember no elevator). We found it to be quite large and comfortable. We found the breakfast to be basic but worked for our needs (coffee, juice, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, fresh fruit, 1 type cereal). In addition, they did have take along snacks such as nutrigrain bars, granola bars, bananas, apples, oranges and cold water bottles. Couple perks to our room was the jetted tub, yummy handmade soft caramels at the bedside and 3 windows. We also discovered the next morning in talking with another guest and the AM innkeeper that there is a lady who lives on property to handle the after hours issues should there be any so technically they do have 24 hr "desk person". We would definitley consider visiting the Inn should we be in the area again.

I like all the little extras like tea, coffee and lemonade always available, also snacks and bottled water. The front screened in porch is delightful. The only issue I had was the air conditioner was blowing cold air directly at the bed off and on throughout the night.

Place was great, as always, however this is no working fan or vent in the bathroom of room #31, and there should be since it gets pretty steamy from the shower. LOVE this cute little Inn and always enjoy the friendly welcoming staff and unique spin on each room!

Great option. Would stay again.

Very cute and cozy. I stayed in room 24 (queen bed with queen pull-out sofa bed). The balcony has a great view of the river toward the pier. Room 25 would be on the corner if you want to get the best corner balcony. It’s an old building so there are some old bits like peeling wallpaper. Being near the water, you get bugs. There was an old gas fireplace in the room that couldn’t be completely turned off - there was a tiny flame even though it was off. The sofa bed is very thin. The pillows were thinned out as if they were 5 years old. Walls are thin - I heard the innkeeper knock on the neighboring room’s door to deliver coffee at 6am. The nice things outweigh the little bad things. The hardwood floors throughout the main floor are so nice- plenty of tables for eating and hanging out. There was a puzzle set out on the coffee table for anyone to contribute. Cookies in the evening are great. Kitchenette in the hall for you to use. Can put your food in fridge. There’s a microwave. And snacks. There was popcorn packets so we popped one in the microwave. Thank you. The walk to the restaurants and shops and water fountain are short. We walked to the end of the pier and back.

Great location for walking to the pier and to the downtown area for shops and restaurants. The accommodations were nice, especially the second floor where we stayed, with balcony and river view. The room could use a deep clean, the bathroom was small and the room overall lacked the charm we had hoped for in an historic inn.

I think this is a convenient location and have wanted to stay for some time. The room was nothing special though, considering the cost. Another detail was that I expected a warm breakfast rather than cold continental which was disappointing, considering the cost. Finally, free parking means only one vehicle (which the website does not state). My sister met me from out of town and I was forced to park on the street, not a big deal except the neighbor had a large tree cut down and no one informed me! Luckily I came out early and was able to move the car, and then had an employee be defensive over the matter rather than apologize. Not very professional, considering the cost.

Holiday weekend

We had an amazing stay at this charming bed and breakfast! The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and very comfortable, making it easy to relax. The guest books in the room were a delightful surprise—so entertaining and full of personality. While breakfast was good, I had expected a little more variety. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I’d happily return.
