Lilly was lovely and gave us an upgrade so we didn't have to pull our heavy suitcases up lots of stairs. Great location for downtown and the boardwalk.

I love the location and quaint size of this historic home/hotel. It’s perfect for a single traveler desiring proximity to attractions yet solitude in the quaint quarters of this Victorian brought back to life. No children or animals are allowed so this is a very quiet spot . Thank you to everyone who contributed to making it available for the public . It would be good to have some plain cream option for the coffee /tea station for those who don’t like sweets as all the creamers were flavored and sweet. I was very grateful to see the open station that could be accessed at any hour ,thank you so much.
