It is a quaint hotel in the middle of town, so very convenient to everything. However, the rooms next to the street are VERY noisy and the nightclub across the street is VERY LOUD with music and crowds until 2am...then the crowd outside doesn't disperse until about 4am. I just expected more for $300 /night.

Amazing location, clean rooms, helpful staff. Our favorite was the free wine and cheese hour, room service, and they even had umbrellas when it was raining. Parking is just in the back of the inn. Will stay again!

Our room was lovely but faced King Street. Noise from the street, especially music from the oyster bar across the street, was excessive. Hotel staff were very nice but offered nothing to compensate for our inability to sleep and my having to cross the street to bar, at night, and personnaly ask manager to turn the music down.

VALERIE

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was charming with a lot of character. Very convenient to all shopping and dining options in the heart of the historic district. Surrounding area, streets were clean and felt safe at night walking to and from hotel. Loved the hour of wine and cheese in the evening and sherry at night! The only negative we had was lobby smelled musty and our first room offered on the first floor right outside of courtyard as well and the carpet in the first room looked dirty and may have been damp. They had a small dehumidifier/air purifier running in the room. We were able to change our room to second floor and had a room with hardwood floors which was much better. Still had somewhat of a musty smell but we bought a candle and that really helped. Overall, we would stay again.
