10/10 Excellent
"We LOVED our stay here. The price is very fair for a room with a balcony right on the sound. The building could use some modernizing, but we're not fancy, and don't expect a ton at this price point. Bed was super comfy, and the room was pretty dang good size. WE'll definitely stay here again. Port Townsend is a really fun place to visit."
