Got what we paid for: a basic place to sleep.
Pros:

Got room at last minute. Comfortable, but basic.

Cons:

Bathroom door was wonky. Sink was slow to drain. Crowded.

A Very Poor American Experience
Pros:

The View, but a poor consolation for a scandalously poor hotel

Cons:

This hotel is almost derelict

Good location, great view but dated with a small bathroom. Not a good value forbtge price we paid.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

It wasn’t very clean and room was dated.
We got a room at the ground level, it didn’t feel very private since people were walking in front of us.
One side of the bed didn’t have a night table and a plug . No breakfast was offered at the inn.

Interesting, comfy bed, fun deer, beautiful view
Pros:

The view when I walked into the room was amazing. It was a very tiny room but the slider faced the water and it was beautiful. The bed was very comfy and so quiet at night.
I'm the morning there was a family of deer right outside my deck area. It was lovely. It's a very quaint motel that has had some work done to upgrade. A couple of fixes would have made it perfect. The town was a delight though.

Cons:

Although the view from the slider to the deck was wonderful there were also people walking on the path up to my window. There were no sheers on the window so after I figured out what was happening I had to close the draperies to keep everyone from looking in my room. And the huge spider in the bathroom. Really huge.

Nice for the most part except for our welcome to Port Townsend
Pros:

Spacious clean comfortable beds close to downtown and good restaurants

Cons:

The grumpy and cranky older woman made us feel less than welcome upon our arrival. We assumed she is the owner/manager as looking at past reviews there are multiple reports of this gruff behavior and continues to happen. Luckily the other staff we spoke with a younger girl was very nice which made up for the grumpy lady.

Pros:

The view

Cons:

Very small room including the bathroom. The mattress was very old and the bedframe extended past the mattress making for shin encounters.

Superb for one short night; wish we could have stayed longer
Pros:

Not available. Hurts them a point.

Cons:

Daytime staff did not communicate to evening staff I would be in late and needed instructions. Also map indicating room 135 was unclear. Took us 10 minutes, in dark to understand property limits and our correct room. Someone could have thought we were suspicious, walking back and forth around rooms.

Not what we expected from the website pictures.
Pros:

Beds were comfortable & tv reception was good.

Cons:

we mistakenly booked the wrong date & the room available was not what we originally booked. The room was in a different part of the Inn. The paint was peeling on the deck & made it look very uninviting. The room seemed old & the entrance was not kept up & the door mat was curled & a hazard.

Great little hotel in a quaint town!
Pros:

Great little hotel complex. While the building is quite old, the rooms have been renovated and inside was very comfortable. We also had an excellent view right on the water, so we saw birds and little deer walking in the waters edge. Bed was very comfortable. The staff was very kind and helpful. Ferry is right next door!

Pros:

Nice location, comfortable and clean room.

Cons:

Fair amount of traffic noise. Visible gaps around doorframe could be better insulated to fix this.
