Nice Victorian house. Location is excellent. Staff was friendly. Unfortunately, this hotel is severely understaffed. This is not a criticism on the staff’s performance (they are doing the best they can) but the way the operation is being managed needs attention.

Beautiful quaint Victorian home made into a hotel. Found it on the last-minute deal. What a great day parking is included. It’s in a great part of town. Highly recommend.

Was hoping that there was some original features to the old house, sadly only the outside, staircase and dune Windows. The room was furnished with cheap modern hotel furniture. Very noisy, too. Nice selection of free beverages. Close to boardwalk.

The home was nicely renovated, neat and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. The bed was quite comfortable. The location was ideal, and neighborhood quiet with the river near by. We were surprised to find out that the photo of breakfast offered is incorrect. Coffee and tea are the only things offered, the photo on Expedia shows pastries and fruit. We were told that was no longer offered.
