Short but sweet stay!
Overall lovely stay. Beautiful waterfront property near ferry which is convenient. It is an old inn so sound travels but we were quiet at night sleeping! Very clean, comfortable bed and very nice linens. Special thank you to Shoshana who was always smiling and friendly. She helped us jam in as much perfect scenery and island experience into our short stay and we appreciated it! Would stay again!

36th wedding anniversary and it was magical. Such is life in the Pacific NE in Autumn
Romantic, Historic, Location
Cons Ferry boats can be loud but we used earplugs. The sounds of gulls and water was soothing. Location was next to the Gerry dock, but hiking and most of civilisation was in the too end of the island. Breakfast was mediocre

Overall, it was a pleasant stay in an historic hotel.
Loved the location, close to the ferry terminal and a beautiful view out to the water. Not far from east sound and shopping, etc. Good restaurant at the hotel. Love the vintage decor. Really makes you feel like you’re stepping back in time. Nice touches in the room when you first come in.
Cons Beds really need replacing. Way too soft and uncomfortable. The place is a bit rundown with dirty carpeting going up the stairs to the rooms and the porch needs repairing with broken spindles out front. Just needs some TLC. I would love to stay here again if the beds were comfortable. The staff was wonderful.

Fun historic property with a killer view. We stayed in Room 6 (highly recommend) with a beautiful view across the water and of the ferry as it arrived/departed. Appreciated the comfy bed, super deep awesome bathtub and how easy going they were about our dog as a guest. Would absolutely stay here again.
Cons While it didn't bother us in the least I would probably suggest a white noise machine or earplugs if you are a very light sleeper. The ferry lanes are behind the property and a bit of the loudspeaker noise drifts down and if you have neighbors in the room above you will likely hear them walking.
