I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautifully restored, offering a large two-person tub and a very comfortable bed. The staff was friendly and extremely accommodating, making my stay even more enjoyable. The location was perfect, allowing me to explore the waterfront shops and restaurants easily. However, the dining experience was a bit lacking with limited options for homemade sausages.

The hotel sits in a prime location at the heart of Port Townsend, overlooking the charming old Portion area. The rooms offer a unique experience with high ceilings but require climbing at least one flight of stairs, adding a touch of adventure to your stay. The service provided is friendly and helpful, ensuring a pleasant and accommodating stay. However, the property's history as an erstwhile brothel might not appeal to all guests, and some may find the lack of elevators a drawback.

I stayed at the hotel and had a wonderful experience. The rooms were exceptionally comfortable and visually pleasing, especially the water view rooms. The large bathroom with a two-person tub was a luxurious touch. However, some rooms had queen beds instead of kings, and not all guests may prefer that. The service was top-notch, with friendly and accommodating staff making my stay even more enjoyable. The location was ideal, allowing me to explore the waterfront and nearby attractions without needing to use my car. However, more details on the dining experience would have been appreciated. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall positive experience.
