We enjoyed the large amount of common area seating including a lovely wrap around porch. There was a dearth of horizontal surfaces in the room.

air conditioning as basic amenity. no TV/mini fridge/microwave in rooms. convenient to the mall and the beach but no direct view. while we enjoyed the historic hotel overall, was not quite a fan of all the stairs to the rooms and lack of dependable nearby (free) parking, especially with all the scheduled events/weddings at the hotel. On a positive note, dinner at the magnolia room restaurant was amazing. fried chicken was most definitely worth the hype.

Bad hotel in a great area. Arrived to find sand all over floors (hadn't been vacuumed), doors that wouldn't close, and loud machine(s) in room above whirring all night long. Definitely would NOT recommend.

There was no TV or hair dryer, which was probably stated in the description so it’s my fault for not realizing. Otherwise it was a very great stay! Super clean rooms and close to the beach and Washington Street Mall!

Beautiful historical hotel with excellent accommodations and staff. Unfortunately area parking is limited, no TVs and shared bathrooms for some units. Additionally no elevator. Breakfast is served for a fee and live music on most days. Beautiful lounges, dining room and porches. Excellent place.

We chose a room based on a photo during the reservation but the room turned out to have a different configuration. The room was comfortable. Good a/c. We had to evacuate one night at10:50pm due to fire alarm but fire dept personnel let us back in a half hour or so later. Self serve water and coffee are available downstairs everyday. The restaurant is closed on Tuesdays. Hotel is a few blocks from the beach, restaurants and the Washington st mall, so good location if you don’t mind walking a little.

There was not enough parking. Last night, in the rain, I had to park 2 streets over (Franklin and Kearney).There is not an elevator, and its tough if your put on the third floor. I understand victorian charm, but the place needs updated. There was a humming/buzzing sound-not sure what that was. I noticed a little peeling paint. I did not eat in the restaurant, so I can't comment on that. The shame of it is the property is rather conveniently located. Also, at least in my room, no fridge or tv, and only one ice machine in the whole place on the first floor. Again, being on the third floor makes this a little inconvenient. No offense, but I was glad to leave today.
