Room with nostalgia
Had an absolutely wonderful time at this historic mansion. We were warmly greeted by the concierge Aaron. We enjoyed our brief meeting with other folks. We enjoyed a tasty breakfast in the morning. The location was fantastic we would return again. Thank you so much for having such a great place Rick

Befitting mansion status
This place was amazing. This was truly a mansion not just in name. The house was gorgeous and well maintained. The staff was wonderful and very attentive. The breakfast was extremely delicious. We only got the privilege of staying one night, but there is more to explore on this wonderful island. The bonus of having a ride to the cruise port was a fine ending to our stay. Kudos to Aaron who graciously came back to the cruise port to deliver my phone which I accidentally left in his car.

Great Place to stay
Nice stay before our Cruise...wish we had a day or two to stay and explore. Very walkable area and loved the quietness of the neighborhood. Just blocks from Cruise Terminal ...we took advantage of leaving our car there during the cruise and it was perfect! AND the breakfast was wonderful along with the staff! Will definitely be back.

Needs TLC
Advertized as a boutique B&B in an older building in the historical district. Location was good, staff were great; however the building requires quite a lot of TLC. Heating was pot luck room having to have portable heater. Claw bath with shower curtain far too big making it somewhat dangerous for getting in and out. Electrical plugs barely hanging on, broken tiles and small plaster repairs just not taken care of. Cleaning materials left out on the landing next to bedroom doors. Needs work on windows as sone sashes broken. Dissapointed.

Amazing stay will return
This place was beautiful more than I could have imagined and the staff was so friendly always smiling and never missed an opportunity to make sure we were comfortable. After some minor flight delays we got in later than expected and missed the social hour but I can only imagine how special that was with the hospitality and friendliness we experienced in the morning
Breakfast was freshly made and tasted amazing and got to use a French press for the first time

Cramped quarters
The room was very compact. We stubbed our feet and legs on the bed frame several times. The service was excellent. The breakfast was delicious.

The staff are amazing and so welcoming, and the breakfast was all fresh made. The bed was a bit too soft for our liking though. Would recommend, it’s a lovely historic mansion

I would stay here again in an instant. The service was personal and efficiant. Aaron was especially helpful and went above and beyond for us. We only stayed a night prior to our cruise, but they treated us like we would be there forever. Will be back for sure.
