So this is a review of my experience here though we didn't stay there…read more It is a great historical example of a waterfront hotel built in the late 19th century during the building boom here when Port Townsend was competing with the whole west coast to be a terminus port for trade and economic boom. The railroad never came but the sailors did so this was the brothel, bar, and sailor trade on the waterfront where the respectable affluent families built their Victorian homes above. So glad that further economic boom didn't tear down this cool old buildings and so much of the structures of all kinds around town! We were having a local tourist day from our place across Admiralty inlet with our big dog. While walking the front street before we could notice a lovely older lady was welcoming us and our boy and very happy to see our pup. She was just so much a great ambassador of their business and very engaging that we all enjoyed the encounter. The front entrance decorated well and nice plants in boxes. She had so many dog friendly advice to give us without asking about Port Townsend in general and recommended local dining choices. Not asked for but in hindsight it reminded me of what you'd expect from your concierge at a nice hotel while on vacation. We really enjoyed chatting with her out at the entrance and makes me want to suggest that place for a fun stay. They have 7 rooms I guess that are dog friendly and If we "missed the boat back to Whidbey". Or something more planned, we would def consider staying at this former 19th century brothel turned hotel for sure! It reminds me of a smaller version of the same we stayed at once in San Francisco way up the hill that was not preserved so well. This whole town was designed and developed to compete with west coast 19th century seaports for trade and commerce and it shows. But i think that the thought that railroads would bring prosperity here has left us with survivors of this bygone era!! I'd recommend considering this a a great waterfront stay in this town as it's very convenient and worthwhile!

A very nice place to stay for a quick getaway in Port Townsend, with a full 3 course home-made…read morebreakfast! My husband booked our stay here for a quaint Valentine's day getaway. We stayed in room 6. It's an old Victorian house with a number of antique artifacts including instruments, guns, books, etc. There is no elevator - you have to climb the stairs to get to your room or downstairs to the billiards table & guest fridge. The innkeeper is extremely sweet. She welcomed us in and explained about the house. At 9am (prompt), she serves breakfast, which was a delight! It was a full 3 course meal - everything home-made (or from a local bakery). Honestly, the breakfast here was better than our dinner at a restaurant the night before! Our room was very cute - it looked like the inside of a doll house. For my husband, who is a tall man (6'2), he felt a bit claustrophobic because the ceiling comes inwards. But for my 5' self, I didn't mind. Everything was clean and had a nice presentation. They even had home-made cookies waiting! We really enjoyed our stay, and it was nice to have a sit down breakfast with the other guests and chat together. There's also a sweet doggo named Ursa who you may see putter around. For a nice weekend away from the city, this is a very cozy quaint place to stay.

Authentic windows,big baseboards, excellent charm in doors too. That is just the beginning. Step inside! We booked this lovely home last minute as a four day getaway. Greeted by the owner's family we felt instantly at home. A quiet warmth with fireplaces, candles, easy chairs, a cribbage board, and a full coffee tea bar in the main room. Out the sliding door is a full covered porch and comfy chairs to watch the tides roll in or out. Very protected by the wind. Humming birds dance on the side. Wood deck chiefs and a swing on the lawn. We chose the Lighthouse room with king size bed. Amazing mattress, window view of the beach and lighthouse of Walden Park. Nicely decorated in nautical beach old time and up dated treasures. Window open to hear the surf. Steam heat is amazing warmth. beautiful room with a sitting room and full bath. If you need to take an extra person there is an extra room connecting with bed. We did not need this room, but nice if we bring a few with us. This is the one you want to check on first. If the website is not working with the WiFi (rain and storms happen in PNW). Then give them a call. Dave answered all our questions and booked us in. This is after one year of covid 19 and this place is clean and staff genuinely kind and responsible. We will come again. The sunsets are surrounding on walks from beach house to downtown port Townsend. We came in rain and still had a fabulous time. Beach house does not have a TV but doe totally relaxation who really needs one. WiFi and electric for cell phone is in place. We ditched it all to enjoy the simple time of a beautiful beach house on a walkable beach and close to marina. We will come again!!

This is still the best place to stay in Port Townsend, we'll definitely be coming back!

Stayed here for 4 nights in April visiting family…read more Lots to like but visitors also need to be prepared for a few things. Other reviews are correct: great location, lots of old charm, nice staff, great lobby and brunch, comfortable beds. All 5 stars. But I think for price point, this hotel is not value for money. Rooms are a bit dated with old carpets (according to my wife, ours smelled). Small bathroom with not enough shelf space. Room has no place to hang or put clothing so we had our stuff sprawled all over the place. The hotel needs some upgrades to charge what they charge. 3 stars. One annoyance: The hotel staff tried to presell / upsell overnight parking at $20 when there was plenty (plenty!!) of free parking a block away (and according to my family, parking enforcement is pretty lax).Why do that? 1 star. ( FYI - this hotel is dog friendly)

We stayed in Cabin 4 which has huge windows/sea views, gorgeous sunsets, and a deck perfect for stargazing (The night sky views are mind blowing!) The king bed is super comfy, and there is a kitchen with everything you might need, as well as board games and puzzles. Everything inside and out is lovingly cared for. There is also a private beach with the prettiest little forest path leading up to it, and lots of seashells and cute birds and otters! You could honestly spend a whole trip on the property enjoying the views and taking walks along the beach. We adored our stay and will definitely be back next time we visit Port Townsend

Loved this place!…read more I'm giving 4 stars, but in reality, it is 4.5. Location: The location is great. You're located downtown and can walk to any shop or eatery in the area. The parking location for hotel guest is odd and in reality, can only fit two cars. So, just find a spot, park it and leave it. Take advantage and walk everywhere. The Digs: There's no attendant, so you need to book in advance with the lovely manager, Marilou. She really cares about the hotels she manages and truly wants your stay to be a memorable one. Upon arrival you will get codes for both the building and your room. Speaking of the room, when you enter, you are greeted by music playing on the radio and a few lights on. A nice, simple touch, especially after a long day of traveling. The old hotel is super clean and cozy, yet modern. It almost feels like you're staying at a friends house. This is definitely a gem in Port Townsend and I would not hesitate to stay here again. The minor "constructive criticisms" that I have are to give a good corner scrubbing along the baseboards in the bathroom and to keep the soap and shampoo fairly full to give the "illusion" that your guests are the first ones to stay there.

Beautiful room - great location - relaxing stay…read more We stayed in Room #1, which has 2 beds (1 bed is in a bedroom, and since we only needed 1 we didn't use the bedroom). The room was simply but beautifully decorated, the bed very comfortable with down comforter and soft sheets. Our room had a nice little desk, where we plugged in the laptop and used the free (fast) wireless. Our room also had a mini refrigerator, tv, stereo and nice big bathroom. There is a common area in the hall which is great because it holds everything you might ever need during your stay (hair dryers, extra coffee, bottle openers, microwave, etc.). The location is quiet, a block off the main street, and there isn't a water view (which is fine, because we only slept there!). Parking was well lit and behind the building. I loved the convenience of having a door and room code, and not having to check in and check out... felt more like staying at a friend's apartment than a hotel... which is nice. The manager was very friendly and called us ahead to let us know we could check in early. We will definitely stay at the Washington again, and recommend it to our family and friends!

The balcony is really nice for sitting outside to read or to just watch the traffic on the water. On my first full day, I wanted to make some iced tea and discovered there was no pitcher in the kitchen. I contacted the owner, and within 15 minutes a pitcher was delivered. I appreciated her responsiveness. On the downside, as a person "of an age," it was inconvenient that the bathroom wasn't on the same level as the bedroom, especially for those middle-of-the-night trips. I also was surprised that my full balance owing was charged to my credit card two weeks before my arrival. Other than that, this is a lovely place to stay.
