"The hotel was as expected, old and therefore quirky. For example the bathroom was inside to the bedroom. The second bed was in the main area of the hotel room. So the person sleeping in the main room had to go into the bedroom to use the bathroom. Squeaky old doors woke up the person sleeping in the bedroom when the bathroom was needed by the person in the main room.
The beds were quite comfortable with nice bed linens, but the hotel room was very hot, so we had to open windows because we couldn’t find a way to turn heat down. We could hear every creaky step taken above us and a flagpole outside our room clanked all night as a chain banged against the pole (remember, windows were open to cool the room, in Feb), making sound sleep challenging. The small shower stall was difficult to maneuver in and there was only a tiny shelf below the mirror to place toiletries. Hotel staff were very nice.
The Mexican restaurant located in the hotel served decent food and the staff were nice there too, but entrees were shockingly expensive and the restaurant was very noisy.
If you want to have a unique hotel experience and don’t mind some inconveniences, this hotel will give you some stories to tell. The library off the lobby is beautiful, filled with antiques. It’s also reasonably close to Port Townsend shops and restaurants and the waterfront. If I could’ve given it 3.5 stars I would have. 4 stars for the staff. "
