Staying at this SMALL quality historic hotel was far more enjoyable than staying at a modern chain hotel. Breakfasts and evening social hours were shared with super-friendly staff and a small group of others staying at the hotel. Staff and other guests gave great information about museums, events, restaurants, etc. A streaming stick could be used with the TV, ours was a Roku TV. Short walk to downtown restaurants, shops, museums, markets, and events. Room had a refrigerator and fast charging (2A) USB ports. I believe the hotel is owner operated, which is a plus.

The Inn on Third was a wonderful experience in every way. It’s a very charming hotel with immaculately kept comfortable rooms that have retained the character of the early days of the hotel, including vintage furniture, accessories, and photos. The owner and staff are very friendly and accommodating. We look forward to visiting again.

Comfort and ambiance from a bygone era

This is truly an Inn. An older hotel which has been updated but they kept all the quaintness and hominess. The hosts are very helpful and accommodating. Everything was very clean and comfortable. A true gem centrally located in downtown.

It’s in a great location; very walkable to restaurants, museums and the pier. We enjoyed the social time in the evening with a complimentary beverage which provided an opportunity to meet other travelers. We also enjoyed the vibe, which was very homey and comfortable.

Best in the area I've found

Location was great, walking distance to a lot of places. Hotel was clean. Staff was very friendly and gave good recommendations, asked us how we were from day to day. Breakfast was sufficient. Hotel is "historical" but don't be turned off by that. The rooms are clean and well cared for.
