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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

Disliked: Staff & service
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.
The property is beautiful and the promise of a boutique hotel was fully lived up to. Clean room, very elegant and charming with coffee and tea available was very nice.
Access to the property was challenging with security codes being sent that weren’t working…staff responded quickly but were short and impatient with the issue of their system not working.
It would have been nice to know that no staff would be on site BEFORE booking this hotel. Expedia should include this info in the listing
Also perhaps letting people know there are 3 floors and no elevators so carrying luggage up 2 flights of stairs could be challenging for some customers.
Avoid if you can. Host was rude and condescending and it made our stay stressful and not agreeable at all. Be aware there is a cat and a dog on the premises, if you have allergies. This was not indicated in the Expedia description of the facilities and the owner clearly didn't care when I pointed this out. The room was clean and kind of cute, but the awful customer service experience I've had sadly prompts me to not recommend this place.
Old, well maintained place with creaky floors. Lots of old Knick knacks and decorations. Not my favourite type of place to stay as you have to be very quiet to not disturb other guests. Woman was not very helpful on check-in when we asked about the ferry. Bit of complicated door key system.
