The couple that own this hotel are delightful. If you like the bed and breakfast feel, this is a place for you. The owners have thought of every detail. It is a great place for a romantic getaway but convenient enough to enjoy while on business.

Great downtown location, uniquely older building, quaint and warm decorations. Loved the paintings in the stairwell! Promote a very quiet atmostphere. Check in was easy as the hostess showed us how to work the locks on both the front door and our room door. My husband forgot to bring a fan (which he usually sleeps with one on) and the hostess brought one up and set it up in the room! There were 2 tiny dogs that greeted us and even followed us upstairs with the hostess. We stayed in room #10 - very clean entey area / bedroom / bathroom & tastefully decorated. Check-in snacks, water & coffee provided! Will stay again! Great price!

Great little hotel, was downtown so I was able to walk to the bars and restaurants. The Hotel was clean and the atmosphere was calm and peaceful.

Quirky proprietress, especially at check-in, but after that lovely. The rooms were beautiful and were made up every day of our four-night stay. Breakfast was excellent, and the proprietress prepared it with care and flexibility for different dietary needs. Dog and cat co-hosts were adorable. Helpful tips on things to do and see were tailored to individual needs. All in all, this was a very enjoyable stay!

So glad we stayed here. Carmen was a gracious host-welcomed us immediately. Our room was so clean and I loved the decor throughout. Very close to the waterfront and walking distance to great restaurants. Highly recommend.

Vintage, clean & great location!

The location was fantastic! The establishment has been restored amazingly. Check in was easy, once the code worked for our door. No elevators and we were on the third floor, so we brought up only what we needed for the night. It was clean, quiet and our bed was comfortable. Location is great, walkable to the boardwalk and restaurants.

This is a delightful small hotel. Our room on the top floor was very comfortable and the bathroom remodel was well-designed and executed. We were well treated by friendly staff and fed a scrumptious breakfast. We enjoyed walking the nearby boardwalk and eating in the nearby pub, entertained by live music. I heartily recommend the hotel.

2/10 Poor

Location was very close to restaurants on Charlotte street. My room was very noisy with loud rtaffic outside. Was hot as a/c was not turned on nor instructions given for its operation. Host/owner was rude and did not seem to want the business. She mentioned it wasn't a hotel but was her home. They shouldn't be charging hotel prices for BandB room. I don't think manager should be client facing.

I didn’t like there was no one greeting you as you come in to answer questions,I did follow directions that were written for everyone to read and had a question, so I called the number in which I didn’t receive an answer….lucky for me a guest staying there came in at the same time and could answer my question…the customer relations and arrogance of the owner was uncalled for when I did get speak to her and I wouldn’t recommend based solely on that experience….i did like the cleanliness of the inside of the premises but we did sit out on the patio with two benches that were very rickety and in the short time we were there seen two rats….my experience not great unfortunately …I read reviews prior to booking but gave it a benefit of doubt

A delightful beautifully decorated Victorian hotel from 1875. A very nice parlor to relax in with games for the kids and an equally charming dining room. Breakfast if you want it. Your host, Simone, loves to talk with her guests and is very helpful. Several good restaurants just a block away

We didn’t have breakfast. So can’t rate that. Rooms clean but small. Strict rules (to each their own) but was approached re: parking slightly over the white line where we had no choice as the other car parked next to us only left that space and we weren’t staying, we were grabbing something and leaving again. Loud at night with the sound of cars racing up the streets. Decent location tho.

8/10 Very good

The property is very well-maintained and the hostess is very careful to assure that clients do not disturb others. Make sure you do not arrive early before the check-in time of 3 PM. Be prepared for a little yappy, but cute dog that will bark at you when you enter, but the puppy is harmless.

8/10 Very good

Carmen was very helpful. I really appreciate her attention to detail throughout the hotel. If you are traveling with small children it might not be a good fit. There are some rules such as removing one’s shoes, wearing slippers (provided) to your room, and being quiet on the way to your room. None of these things bothered us. I also liked the convenience of location. There has been a lot of thought and love put into this hotel. It was a good experience.

The property was beautiful and clean. However the host has very strict house rules given it is her house. We struggled getting our bags up 3 flights of stairs and did make a little noise; she confronted us and she threatened taking some damage deposit if we made any further noise even at 5 pm in the afternoon. We felt like we were walking on eggshells and were very uncomfortable our entire stay. The same evening another couple was confronted for similar issues. She should not be running a "hotel" as she makes it clear it is her home so her rules. I wish i had read the other guest reviews. Do not stay here.

The house was beautiful and very clean. The service was sub par and the owner / staff were very unfriendly. Coffee and tea were available but no creamer or whitener. Rats visible from our suite window- so many that the outdoor area was unusable. While a group of pan handlers outside of the property were loud and disruptive, they were friendlier than the staff.
