I got a small suite, which I needed as the main bed below the window was drafty and I had to use the other bed. I would visit there again as the staff were quite friendly.

It is an 1890s house. If you like old houses this is for you. The bathroom was new but done in a Victorian style. Easy walk to old town on the waterfront with fun shops and 5 or 6 restaurants

Carla was very sweet and attentive, however the room was not great. Very run down, smelled of cigarettes and was freezing. The heating didn’t work so the room was colder inside than it was outside. We ended up leaving to head back from the trip early to avoid sleeping here. You get what you pay for- an affordable stay but at what cost? The staff is very sweet, so this is by no means a bad rating for them.

We stayed in a very old cottage so it was pretty funky. But the cottage was clean and the beds very comfortable. I would stay there again. Carla, who greeted us, was very sweet and helpful.

It was conveniently located to downtown. Room was functional. Patio sitting quiet. The host was friendly and informative. There was no soap, shampoo and conditioner in the shower. The shower nozzle had to be hand held. And it lacked an extra blanket. A good choice for one night. It was functional.

The property is centrally located in Coupeville. It is a bit dated, but clean and an excellent value compared to much more expensive options in this town. Carla, our housekeeper, was lovely and flexible with our needs. She also gave each of us a breakfast gift card for a coffee place on the same block, which turned out to be a great breakfast spot.

Stayed one night in old historic post office building. It was well appointed and worth the cost. Heat is good as well as water pressure and temperature in shower. Communication from staff/owner was great and very responsive and helpful.

An old beauty

Had a hard 480 mile drive and needed a good nights sleep. This hit the spot. Very quiet and clean. We didn't need TV, microwave, fridge or any other modern crap. This is a 136 year old house, and it was shaded and quiet. No creaky floors. Bed was firm, just a full bed which suited us fine. We would stay here again.

The lady who checked me in was super nice and kind. As for the room, the stairs and hallways had stuff all over, it wasn’t super clean, and the bedspread was dirty. I did not have warm water for the shower 2 of the 3 days, and the day I did have some, it only lasted 5 min. I wouldn’t bring my family here to stay, but it was ok for just me to have a place to sleep only. The bed was comfortable. The sheets were clean. The property itself was cute and landscaped nicely. It was in a peaceful area of town, close to downtown Coupeville, and deer walked through the yard in the mornings.

They had availability for a last minute booking - so I am appreciative there. The woman that met us to check in was very nice. That is why I was generous with 2 Stars. The room itself was rough. There was a lingering smell - burnt plastic/burnt popcorn/cigarette smoke - that never left. Don't turn on the air purifier, it makes it worse. There was moldy food left in the fridge. The sheets looked clean, we didn't use the comforter. Overall, it served the purpose of needing a place to sleep. It has so much potential - but needs a deep clean, some maintenance, and maybe a little more TLC.

No sign of anyone around, and no visible means of entry, when we first arrived. It had a (falling apart) sign for a Pad Thai restaurant on the front lawn, but nothing for Penn Cove Inn. Quite run-down looking. Main surface areas clean (ish), but not corners. Smelled faintly of old cigarette smoke, although fortunately not strong enough to trigger the asthma. Found the sign for the Inn at side yard, hidden behind fence and broken into 2 pieces. We had to ask about the "breakfast" and were given 2 gift cards for Sunshine Drip Cafe. Not sure we would have been given anything had we not asked. The cards were to have $7 on each, but one had only $1.15. The cafe honoured it for the full $7 anyway. I got the impression from the survey markers, as well as the dilapidated state of the house and cottage, that this is a property that is going to be re-imagined. Having said all that, I have stayed in worse places.
