The room was lovely in a historic home with access to everything we were looking for. The staff was extremely friendly and hospitable. The location was perfect- across from Congress Hall, around the corner from Washington Street Mall, and just a short walk to the beach.

Front desk was awesome, the Inn is quirky and our room was small but the view was beautiful. The only suggestion would be to fix the bathroom door so it closes easily and stays closed.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The place is very clean quaint. A little dated and there was no fridge or microwave in the room, but we were not bothered by it. Great location right by the main strip, and you can also use the Congress Hall grounds as the two properties have the same owners. It’s also right across from Congress Hall. My husband and I really liked it.
