The room was clean & an adequate space; the bed is old and can be upgraded; pillows need refreshing too. Large spacious bathroom was good; baseboard heating in winter was nice versus typical foreced air. Turning off the lights in the lobby 9pm is a hardship if one doesn't one to be in their room. The female desk employee working evenings needs customer svc training; unfriendly and abrupt. We did enjoy the one glass of free bubbles or wine ea nite; nice touch with homemade chocolate chip cookies. Hotel in great location to walk to the coastline or a block into restaurants in town.

Lovely place. Very charming, excellent location, clean, and a very kind and helpful staff. Only complaints were that the parking was a bit challenging if arriving late at night. The breakfast and coffee left a little to be desired although they did have lovely yogurt parfait.

There is an assigned parking spot for each person so parking was not an issue. Breakfast was OK but you had to ask for the yogurt and fruit. There were no indications in the dining room. What you were supposed to do when you got there otherwise the room was clean. Place was a little rundown, but still very clean and very nice.

Staff were good. Our room was clean but small, paint was chipped. Carpets in hall were old and somewhat dirty. It’s advertised as classic but needed cleaning and paint inside. Breakfast was minimal. It would be nice if a couple of USB chargers were installed but it’s ok, it’s classic. We won’t come again.

Quaint historic - great location and more affordable Understand it’s well booked throughout the year due to decent value (high cost area) but keep in mind that is historic - older. Hotel has a mix of rooms – a relatively small room with standard queen bed, queen room on corners, rooms on upper floor with King sized beds – understand they are larger but have a lower ceiling due to roof line. Also a few “cabins”. There is a garden area and a lounge area for public use. At arrival there ere cookies and sparkling wine. They pour wine after 5pm. We received super friendly reception at check in and at breakfast - they had cups of yogurt w fresh berries - we were there early and hear the ladies chopping and working at prior. Otherwise the usual. Overheard the front desk adjust someone’s reservation who had accidently booked the wrong week. They really were looking to help fix the situation (possible if booked direct w the hotel or if booked via third party as refundable) Front desk is not staffed overnight. 5 parking spaces plus a large area to pull in and unload in front of the hotel, and lots of neighborhood street parking. No AC or elevator – think seaside and historic. Big fan in the closet for window if needed. Easy walk to shore and several great eateries.

Everything was ok except the linen looked dirty. I think that it was old and gray. The bedding could have been nicer. The towels were gray also. At breakfast several people were talking about how the sheets and towels were gray and looked dirty. Don't think that they were dirty just old and needed replacing.
