The front desk person was nice. The accommodations with stairs only was really bad with our luggage, carting it up three flights of steep stairs. The smell was unbearable like an old musty, place. We ended up leaving within the hour we couldn’t stand it any longer, so we stayed at another hotel.

My husband and I walked from the water taxi to the Great House Inn - hot but less than 8 minutes (with our luggage), so appreciated the location. Reception was on 2nd floor, but as soon as we got there, an attendant took all our luggage up. Receptionist was awesome and SUPER helpful. Room was very spacious and clean -quaint We used the pool and upper deck facilities. We ordered take-out from the upper deck, and WIFI was spotty, so receptionist came and got us when it was ready. The only negative was that our room was directly across from the receptionist desk, so there was more noise/distractions. Our friends had a different room on a different floor and said theirs was quiet. Great WhatsApp communication. Very welcoming. Loved the quaint old colonial type rooms in this historic building -- it was charming and felt safe the entire time. We ventured out to a mini craft market, and then walked over the bridge to a supermarket. Would totally use or recommend.

The room was fine but the staff was so loud early in the morning, talking at reception which was right outside our room at 6:30am both mornings. The place is surrounded by construction, there was a really loud party next door till late and it would be nice if for that price the continental breakfast was complimentary or at the very least the coffee was. So not a great stop if you’re looking to relax.
