The restaurant in the Castle is great. Excellent food and service. Everything we had was exceptional. We will definitely be back. They need to advertise it more. If you go you won't be disappointed.

Old hotel with a lot of charm! If you love ghost tours and "haunted hotels" then this place is for you. There were several guests taking photos and filming "ghost hunts." I didn't come across anything otherworldly ...except for the spirits downstairs. In the basement of the hotel is an eclectic sci-fi style bar called the Elephant Room. The bar has a handful of tables, all spread out, for groups of 3-4 to nestle away with their drinks. If it's food you're after then there's also a restaurant on the other side of the hotel with a little bit of everything (I recommend the calamari). This hotel is within walking distance of the waterfront and several cafes are located nearby. Everything except for the bar area is older, so expect a dated "spooky old hotel" aesthetic.

What a quirky, unusual, surprising place to stay. So full of history. I couldn't help myself but walk around the property imagining all the history that has taken place here. The staff was fantastic!!! Rooms are old (what do you expect?) but very clean. The view at sunrise was phenomenal. Great experience for a great price. The staff was so patient with our million questions that I'm sure they get multiple times a day. They were so informative. I wish we would have had dinner there. It was busy and smelled so good.

Manresa advertises on its website with a beautiful fountain, gardens, pretty rooms and a strong, gorgeous hotel. Reality is far from this. The building is in need of maintenance. Was here in August, and there were no gardens and the fountain wasn't on. Small parking lot for such a large structure, and it's falling apart. Not ADA friendly; there are no ramps to the entrance. The restaurant serves Asian cuisine, which doesn't match the history of the property nor the aesthetic. They also sell nachos, fries and a brisket sandwich. We came here because we wanted to see the architecture of the building and eat, but we decided to go elsewhere seeing the property and the menu. We saw one car in front of the castle, and they left quickly after they parked.

Building is cool, and does show its age a little (as other guests have mentioned). Could use some updating, but it is a clean facility. The restaurant "The Rook" is awesome. Best place we ate in Port Townsend hands down. I asked for some extra spice in the curry and it was perfect. The drinks were reasonably priced too. I had an issue at check in where there was an error with their system. There was only one ($120 more per night) room available. The front desk gal was great and definitely interested in helping. Unfortunately she did not have the authority to just get us in the room and it took an hour from walking in the door to finally getting a room. Management should have been quicker about that. That stated, the room was definitely and nice upgrade with a great photo so can't be too upset. I would stay here again, but definitely recommend calling in to make the reservation and hold onto your confirmation email.

We just stayed for a few days with them. Here is the thing: it's an older building, and as such, there are some slight downfalls to be expected from its age. However, other things, cosmetic things, can easily be fixed and haven't been yet. These would change the ratings of this hotel. Pros: i mean...look at it! The castle is gorgeous! The main areas have been kept well, the staff (at least front desk/Amber) was always very nice, including the lounge waitress (the guy seemed a bit stand offish), and there is plenty of parking. In keeping with the aesthetics/theme, the rooms (at least ours) are decorated in older themes, so if you're looking for modernist crap, find somewhere else to stay at. Price for the area was not too high, either. Also, ghosts?? Cons: keeping in mind what I said earlier, if some funds were allocated to fixing superficial issues, the rooms would look much better. For example, the wallpaper is torn, stained, and outdated. A fresh coat of paint would look better and would be best for us allergy sufferers anyway. Water leak? Just clean it vs. leaving the puffed up stain. Speaking of paint, a simple stroke over the white wood pieces would be sufficient to hide the window and bathroom shelves (see pictures). Another issue is the lack of accessibility; some folks may have issues getting up stairs and the elevator, as charming as it is, only works until 10 pm and must be operated by staff. Anyway, our room, while fine, was awkward because access to the bathroom goes through the secondary bedroom, which by the way, had one electrical outlet, nowhere near the bed (so the lamp next to the bed? Useless. Need to plug your phone? That's funny, etc) bathroom was cute and provided anything you may need. No phones in the room and no maid service unless you request something in specific. My window was missing a screw so it had a draft, which made the blinds constantly move. Lastly, one room heater worked, but not the other, and our cable stopped working on day 2. Also, ghosts?? (This is a fine quirk to me but who knows). My biggest gripe: our beds. Oh my lordt. Never have I ever cried from sleeping on such an uncomfortable bed. It was hard as concrete, loud, and gave me muscle aches and a tension headache because the pillows were so flat. My parents had nothing nice to say about their bed, either. Overall, it has such potential with just a few changes (mattresses, fresh coat of paint)! I really do think the reviews would improve with these fixes. I would literally recommend it but I won't be the cause of somebody else's uncomfortable sleep.

Proof of cancellation policy that they ARE NOT HONORING. Thieves.

Booked this hotel through Priceline for our honeymoon because we were going to do a whale watching of of the city of port Townsend. When we went to book the whale watching it was full. We then checked the cancellation policy of the hotel and had until 6:30 PM to cancel (this is what the policy through which we booked stated) for a full refund. They charged us for one of the nights and refunded the other half. Appears that this hotels and the sites they advertise through have different policies. We have proof of the cancellation policy and they still won't honor the policy of which we followed. We wouldn't have cancelled the rooms had we not been able to get a full refund and would've found something else to do here. Now they've made 150$ off honeymooners whose room was booked for 3 mins. Calling the hotel is pointless as no one will answer and we are getting nowhere with either of the two groups involved. I'd save your money and find a place that still has compassion, accountability and some customer service. Trip

Unfortunately for me in our 2 day stay I never saw anything of the supernatural. But I did see an immaculate hotel located right in the center of town by the water. Extremely friendly staff starting with Denise who seemed to be in charge of housekeeping. Even asked if she could help us with our bags on the way in and on the way out. Great hospitality here. This place is an immaculately preserved and restored brothel that lasted until the 1930's. Each room still has the name of the women that worked there and I've never seen anything like it. My stayed in Miss Alice's room 7. The room was huge. The bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept on in a hotel. Do yourself a favor if you are doing your research right now and enjoy the magic and charm of this lovely hotel and the Lady in Blue will be very welcoming to you.

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!!

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.
