There was no stress parking. The staff was adequate. The room was small and sparse. No coffee maker nor refrigerator. A refrigerator was an extra charge. While I do understand summer pricing is on the high side, I feel that we should have received more amenities for the room cost.

Went with a group to see the Murder Mystery dinner ( underwhelming) so we thought we would stay right at the hotel that was featuring it. The hotel is unique and well maintained with a nice pool and close proximity to the beach and shopping. They offer 2 beach tags and chairs at the beach so if you have more than 2 in your group be prepared to pay for more beach tags and only 2 chairs. We ate at the hotel restaurant for lunch and breakfast. Our meals were great! We sat out on the lovely porch which was nice but they need bigger tables for a party of 4, or smaller plates to fit on the tables. When we made the reservation for a suite it showed a suite with a nice view. We ended up with (what they considered a 2 bedroom suite) basically 2 adjoining rooms looking at a wall and the back of the building next door, with a bathroom in one of the rooms. Overall, we enjoyed our trip and would return.

The inn reminds me of a converted brownstone. The room we stayed in was okay. It had a lot of light, large bed, normal bathroom. But it didn’t have a full length mirror even though it had plenty of wall space for that. It also looked like the walls were painted over multiple times- like a ny city apartment. I enjoyed the inn, it had a restaurant with live music and a mini convenient store that was always open by the front desk. The location is central to the beach and the Washington street mall. I just think the price is expensive for what you are getting- but it’s what all the hotels are charging- so they are in the range. Staff was extremely helpful and nice. One of the hostesses we wound up seeing the next day working in the fudge shop. Quaint town.

The hotel looks amazing from the outside while inside looks cozy and amazing. It's vintage and beautiful. There space to sit inside and enjoy a fireplace or outside and enjoy the view. Close to the shore and the surrounding area is BEAUTIFUL! Room was clean and comfortable. We had the omelet with goat cheese and it was delicious. Definitely 100% coming back!!!

Very charming place. Staff was helpful and accommodating. My biggest issue were the showers. We had two showers in our room. The water barely trickled out of either of them. water took about 20 minutes to heat up and went from hot to cold hot to cold during the entire shower. Needless to say it was the fastest shower I've ever taken. Also, one of the toilets was faulty and did not work. Would not recommend staying here for the price that they charge.

Welcoming staff, beautiful historic hotel with wonderful Christmas decor. The location is perfect for access to the beach and shopping. We also enjoyed the Christmas lights around town in the evenings. The rooms were spacious and clean. The rooms, especially the bathroom, are a bit outdated, but overall it was a great trip.
