This hotel has good points and bad points. It is quaint and the common areas a clean but our bathroom was in rough shape with peeling paint, a poor shower head that i was difficult to get under, a very dirty fan and pretty old tiles. There was also no air con in our room.

Our room was wonderful with great windows and views. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was very good with great service. The outdoor was somewhat neglected, especially the patio and landscaping. There was not daily refreshing of the room (no change of towels, emptying the single garbage bin or refilling the container of soap). Overall we enjoyed our stay in this historic hotel.

You will be hard pressed to find a place as charming and as well run as the Latch. Its like staying at downton abbey on a much smaller scale. Perfect.

The Latch is a great place to stay…when there are no children or babies. I understand the financial necessity of offering accommodation to kids and babies but I don’t think the inn is built for them. Maybe a Holiday Inn type of offering might be better? The walls are very thin. I dodged them this trip but not the last. There is a chance you’ll hear horns of large boats backing out of the yard at the marina next door. It happened at 6:30 am on my last trip but I think it’s rare.
