Highly Recommend

We loved our stay and were so happy we chose the Compass Rose. The suite was spacious and comfortable. The location was wonderful, within easy walking distance of everything but tucked away behind a lovely courtyard so it was quiet and private. We loved the bunny rabbit that visited the courtyard :-) Fresh baked cookies, port, and other treats were in constant supply. Addison and Kenzie were so helpful, professional, and friendly. The breakfast was very good and nicely done. We would love to stay here again.

Compass Rose, will go back soon

Rooms were spacious, lots of charm we were faked out because it looked older, but it was new construction with an older flare. All amenities looked new. Lookout over the river was nice. Short walk ( or crawl) to many eating spots and stores

We stayed at the Compass Rose Inn because it was close to a concert we were attending. We were able to walk back and forth. We were very happy with the Compass Rose. Both Inn Keepers we met were so nice and helpful. I Expected just a adequate breakfast, but it was very good.

I met with my sister and nieces for a night getaway. 1/2 way for us. I found the compass rose inn in my search! I’m so glad I did. We had the outside room. 2 queen beds. Sadie the manager was so wonderful. The place is very quaint. Cozy. We will definitely be going there again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
