The hotel service was impeccable and they were kind enough to upgrade our room. We received recommendations for dinner and shopping. Enjoyed the cute basement bar and walking to shops and restaurants. Only negative-our shower pressure was terrible.

Lovely hotel. If you wanted a morning cup of coffee you had to leave room. I like coffee in my room when I wake up. Not convenient. Plus, I hated the bathroom. It was tiny & sink wasn’t in the same room with toilet & shower. Just

Very pretty hotel close to downtown with free parking. Very quiet with lots of charm. We struggled trying to close curtains for privacy, but still use the AC window unit. Our room overlooked a church next door . Only issue we had. Nice bar area on the first floor and really great outside patio area. Would definitely stay again !

A kick ass stay in a unique place. Staff was great, amenities and location are prime. My only beef is on the hot days the AC can’t keep up and on 3rd floor it was reading 80 degrees. I still highly recommend and would stay again.

A beautifully renovated boutique hotel with a charming throw-back Americana theme that perfectly complements this historic coastal town. Convenient parking and just a short walk to downtown shops and restaurants. Plenty of Instagram-worthy photo spots. Ideal for a summer getaway or weekend retreat. Recommend.
