The Inn at Penn Cove

Good location and good price. It was clean, but the facilities need an overhaul.

Room smelled, there was left over coffee in coffee pot, coffee grounds/filter still in pot, the outlet and vanity light in bathroom did not work, bathroom sink has not been cleaned.

This property should be removed from this site. The rooms advertised are not avaliable except one and it was disgusting. The building is falling apart and rotting. Broken windows. The dust, dirt, mold and mildew were so bad that in less than a minute my eyes and sinuses were blown up in allergic reaction. We were afraid to touch anything. Fixtures falling off the wall in the bathroom. Black mildew on the shower curtain. We fled as soon as we found a room in Oak Harbor. Just grabbed our bags and ran. The place was absolutely disgusting. Pictures are at least a decade old. Fire hazzards everywhere. There is no way the place is up to code. Basically a bait and switch. They shouldn't be allowed to keep our money. The Bates Motel would have been better.

Bed was definitely not a queen size as advertised. There were extension cords everywhere and it reminded me of a spiderweb. You even had to move a cord out of the way to open the mini fridge. Huge trip hazard. The couple running the place was friendly, but the place was poorly ran. I messaged the host about the bathroom light and wall outlets that had “tripped” while we were there only to receive a text that said an electrician was there working on it. No heads up or anything. The light/outlets never came back on during our stay. The windows won’t close so be prepared to be woken up by the street cleaner noise before the sun comes up. Last, I hope you like the smell of curry because a Thai food restaurant is downstairs and the smell never leaves the room. Ok place to lay your head if you are desperate, but I’d look elsewhere

I was so disturbed. The room was above the restaurant and the smells were strong. No air condition. Just a weak fan. The room was dark, smelled and hot. I left within the hour and did not receive any thoughts from the manager or owner. I was so disappointed. It looks so charming, but in reality the opposite.

It had a very good location for walking around near the water and enjoying shops and restaurants and watching wildlife. The place was run down and smelled of stale cigarettes.

The price is right if you just need a bed to sleep. No room amenities of any kind. Old style bathtub/shower is dangerous probably not up to code. Would I stay there again? NO!

It was conveniently located to downtown. Room was functional. Patio sitting quiet. The host was friendly and informative. There was no soap, shampoo and conditioner in the shower. The shower nozzle had to be hand held. And it lacked an extra blanket. A good choice for one night. It was functional.

No sign of anyone around, and no visible means of entry, when we first arrived. It had a (falling apart) sign for a Pad Thai restaurant on the front lawn, but nothing for Penn Cove Inn. Quite run-down looking. Main surface areas clean (ish), but not corners. Smelled faintly of old cigarette smoke, although fortunately not strong enough to trigger the asthma. Found the sign for the Inn at side yard, hidden behind fence and broken into 2 pieces. We had to ask about the "breakfast" and were given 2 gift cards for Sunshine Drip Cafe. Not sure we would have been given anything had we not asked. The cards were to have $7 on each, but one had only $1.15. The cafe honoured it for the full $7 anyway. I got the impression from the survey markers, as well as the dilapidated state of the house and cottage, that this is a property that is going to be re-imagined. Having said all that, I have stayed in worse places.

Friendly and nice help. Condition of the grounds was hazardous. I was unable to bolt my door shut. Furnishings looked like they were from a 2nd hand store. The TV was working but I had no access to the shows.

They had availability for a last minute booking - so I am appreciative there. The woman that met us to check in was very nice. That is why I was generous with 2 Stars. The room itself was rough. There was a lingering smell - burnt plastic/burnt popcorn/cigarette smoke - that never left. Don't turn on the air purifier, it makes it worse. There was moldy food left in the fridge. The sheets looked clean, we didn't use the comforter. Overall, it served the purpose of needing a place to sleep. It has so much potential - but needs a deep clean, some maintenance, and maybe a little more TLC.

Property was cozy and clean. The cottage is old and some features are outdated. It was pleasant.

This property is shabby, bizarrely decorated if you could call it that, and dirty. Linens are dirty, shabby, and sparse. There was hair in the refrigerator and in several places in the rooms. Wicker furniture has grime in the grooves. There is a bad smell that I can't quite place - old cigarettes or just long term grime. The carpet is stained. We left after one night only because we had no alternative for the one night we did stay. The employee who greeted us was warm and helpful but the property is just in terrible shape and I'm sure it is not her fault.

It had a very good location for walking around near the water and enjoying shops and restaurants and watching wildlife. The place was run down and smelled of stale cigarettes.

Great idea, perfect location but linens were not recently washed, unit had an impregnated cigarette odor all over the place, unsafe for minors, extra blankets were dirty too. Other issues: no signs outside, this is not a hotel, it is a very old property that they rent rooms out Staff were ok nice. Will never come back and I would be great if they update the place as it is inhabitable

We stayed in a very old cottage so it was pretty funky. But the cottage was clean and the beds very comfortable. I would stay there again. Carla, who greeted us, was very sweet and helpful.

Very run down, filthy carpeting front door was about to fall apart, stained sheets.I felt very much like it was decorated by Goodwill. Never again.

Had a hard 480 mile drive and needed a good nights sleep. This hit the spot. Very quiet and clean. We didn't need TV, microwave, fridge or any other modern crap. This is a 136 year old house, and it was shaded and quiet. No creaky floors. Bed was firm, just a full bed which suited us fine. We would stay here again.

The room, shower, bath, etc, were very clean. Jacob's room is literally at the front of the house on the street. Doors didn't shut correctly or lock. Doors inside had to be wrestled to be opened. Towels were threadbare and rough, and were delivered in a tied up grocery sack on the front porch when we got back from our evening out. I appreciate that it wasn't terribly expensive (approx 100/night) and I'm not expecting Egytian Cotton towels or doors with chains... but a door that closes securely, towels that are actually somewhat absorbent, and an acknowledgement that the room is street front and attached to the building that contains the local Thai restaurant before arriving woud have let me know what we were walking into.

It is an 1890s house. If you like old houses this is for you. The bathroom was new but done in a Victorian style. Easy walk to old town on the waterfront with fun shops and 5 or 6 restaurants

Exactly all we needed for a quick night in Coupeville.

If you can\'t find anything else, this place will suffice for sleeping and showering. The woman I interacted with was VERY kind (or I\'d have given it one star.) Good points: the convenient location, comfortable bed, decent water pres sure. Bad points: Everything else. I stayed in the T.H. White Cabin.The screen door banged relentlessly in the wind, waking me over and over. The curtains don\'t reach the windowsill and the porch light glares through. The dresser drawer was full of dead bugs, and the other dresser\'s drawers had no bottoms: the furniture was mostly crap. The vacuum was sitting in the corner (I suppose I could have cleaned up those bugs.) There were weird random items on the shelves, toys, stuffed animals, thrift store junk. The kitchen had a few plates and glasses but zero bowls, knives, cutting boards or anything else you\'d need to actually use it. The tea kettle was slathered in grime. I was provided with one partial roll of TP and had to go searching for a second roll. For a "B&B," this was just a B. No food offered, hardly anyone to be found around the place. Several days into my stay I asked the nice woman and was given a few $7 gift cards to a nearby coffee shop. Kind though she was, she sat nearby and smoked a lot, which wafted in my windows. Everything about the grounds was run down and seedy, things just left around evidently for weeks, somebody\'s shoes abandoned on the lawn with weeds growing through them. Skip this unless you are desperate.

This is a run down house, with little to offer for a comfortable nights stay. There was no toilet paper in the bathroom. We found a supply closet and snagged TP there. Bed sagged in middle. Couldn't find entrance. Door locked. Only good thing was TV and cheap price. Guess you get what you pay for....

Very welcoming, and friendly staff. It is a simple walk to the many quaint shops on the waterfront. Beautiful rooms and comfortable bed.

The lady who checked me in was super nice and kind. As for the room, the stairs and hallways had stuff all over, it wasn’t super clean, and the bedspread was dirty. I did not have warm water for the shower 2 of the 3 days, and the day I did have some, it only lasted 5 min. I wouldn’t bring my family here to stay, but it was ok for just me to have a place to sleep only. The bed was comfortable. The sheets were clean. The property itself was cute and landscaped nicely. It was in a peaceful area of town, close to downtown Coupeville, and deer walked through the yard in the mornings.

I really liked my stay here yes the place is super old but it’s like an awesome vintage vibe. The kitties on the property are super sweet. The lady that hosted was super nice and informative. The coffee place up the road was super awesome. Thank you so very much Karla was so nice. I will definitely miss all the cats 😭

I was greeted by Karla who is a charming host. We chatted for awhile on the porch. Friendly and comfortable, this place was like stepping into a ready made family. My stay was quiet and serene. I will be back!

Carla was great!

This Inn is cute, clean, and quaint. The location is good - however; I struggled with the lack of ease to check-in and check-out. Overall, I would stay here again; but I will plan to over-communicate with the host.

We arrived late, but Carla was there to meet us . the restaurants had closed, but Carla showed up with homemade pork chops and fresh cherries. Amazing hospitality, above and beyond all expectations.Thank you, Carla! Would definitely stay here again.

Cozy little room with a bathroom and shower. Host was friendly and welcoming. The check-in process can be more streamlined.

Friendly helpful staff. Lovely old building. Loved it.

I had made reservations months ago for the cottage and another room. I had been staying there for a week when, literally at the last second, was told the cottage wasn't available. They did give my daughter a nice room inside the other building, but that isn't the point. They told me the cottage was unavailable. I was looking forward to having room to spread out, a frig in the room, air conditioning, somewhere to sit to visit, etc. I also know for a fact that they rented the cottage out to someone else, as I talked to the people who were staying there. I felt screwed around and did not get what I had booked and paid for. Had they just been up front and honest with me, I might have felt better about not getting what I had booked. The dishonesty and last minute change left me no other option but to take the other room. This is not acceptable, but I was backed into a corner, and this is not a nice way to do business!

Overall we’d recommend this place as an affordable place to lay your head in a really beautiful town. Others have mentioned that it’s an old house, and with that comes character and sometimes things you’re not used to. If old houses are your bag, this will suit you just fine.

Clean, cute and comfy with super friendly staff! The little town it's in is also adorable, and not too far away from a bigger town for more dining and shopping options

Good location

It had a very good location for walking around near the water and enjoying shops and restaurants and watching wildlife. The place was run down and smelled of stale cigarettes.

Friendly and convenient. This stay suited my purpose, perfectly.

The property is centrally located in Coupeville. It is a bit dated, but clean and an excellent value compared to much more expensive options in this town. Carla, our housekeeper, was lovely and flexible with our needs. She also gave each of us a breakfast gift card for a coffee place on the same block, which turned out to be a great breakfast spot.

The room was supposed to be smoke free and it reeked of smoke. The owner’s pit bull was in the room when we arrived. The carpet was dirty, the screen door was broken, the bedding and towels were old and didn’t match, coffee maker but no coffee, no tissue, the breakfast was a gift card to a restaurant and was only for $7.00. I was so glad to leave in the morning.

It's an old, historic quirky building that we liked. Carla was awesome. Even though it's a house with a kitchenette, it's not stocked for eating.

I needed a spot to crash before a running race. It was comfy, cozy, safe, connected to a Thai Restaurant, a great place to decompress and clear my mind.
