Exquisite attention to detail made this an extraordinary and elegant experience. From the mouth-watering 3-course breakfast at the massive dining room table to the billiards room and library, every part of the experience is enchanting. A very comfortable bed with a lovely view of the water. Unscented bath products, a coffeemaker that brews a delicious, special blend with one touch, a piano and instrument collection that captured my fancy, and turn down service with the most delicious local truffles. I'd highly recommend this B&B for a romantic getaway, a refreshing personal retreat, or the perfect place to stay should you find yourself in Port Townsend. I can't wait to go back. Will have to wear one of my corsets next time. :)

This is the ultimate B&B experience, the best I have ever been to. Nathan and Cindy are the ultimate hosts going above and beyond your expectations. The house is a true Victorian built in 1889 and furnished authentically with much love and care. The innkeepers' collections of instruments, weapons, and a bit of steampunk paraphernalia adds much personality and fun. Not only is the house decorated in period appropriate fashion, it is designed for comfort of the guests - something that others sometimes forget! There are multiple public spaces to sit and chat, listen to music, play games, and get to know other guests if you choose. They even have a billiards table. Foodies will LOVE the gourmet custom coffee blend available 24x7 plus house-made chocolates at your door each night and beyond gourmet 3-course breakfasts. The location is ideal for walking down to the shops and restaurants and many rooms have a fabulous view of the water. Can't say enough good things about this place.

This place! I was recently here for a wedding and had a fantastic time. There is something for everyone whether it's sitting outside on the porch, reading in a corner, playing pool downstairs, playing the piano, or just relaxing. The view of the harbor is great, especially if you catch a rainbow--there was a full double rainbow during our visit--and deer run around the neighborhood. The owners are wonderful. Also, if you have a gluten allergy let them know as they are accommodating for breakfast.

Breakfast table decor!

Love love loved our stay at the old consulate! Great hosts, delicious breakfasts obviously made with love with whole fresh organic local foods. The eggs Benedict was the best I've ever had! And the Russian creme with berries omg. . . No words. It's clean and comfortable. Couldn't ask for more!

The most unexpected and amazing aspect of Cindy and Mathan's convivial hospitality was the breakfast.

This is our stay in Port Townsend. This Vintage Hotel is…read moreover 135 years old and has as much original furniture , art and trim as possible. This is a time capsule with a reading room and a chess table. The ceiling in our room appears to be about 25 feet high with a 8 foot light on a chain. We see 3 sets of lace curtains to cover waist to ceiling windows right now. Until you have been in a place like this , you haven't lived in both Centuries. They have a red sticker downstairs that says " They love us in YELP" Nice touch....

My wife was apprehensive about staying in what many call…read morea "haunted hotel" however the spirits that longed since the late 1800's was appealing to me. 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.

The food was absolutely exquisite. We ate breakfast beside the sea both mornings and Natalie did a wonderful job serving us. She was so friendly and thoughtful around our dietary needs. We felt very cared for and the environment was so serene. Dave even offered to wash our car after it got some bird dung on it! This is still the best place to stay in Port Townsend, we'll definitely be coming back!

This is by far the best beach house B&B. Right on the beach to hear the surf and gulls. Classic,…read moreclean, and wonderfully restored. 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.

I really want to give this hotel a 5 star review, because of that I'm giving a 2 star instead of…read morethe 1 star it deserves after my last nights stay. First I love the front desk less concept, so great to make your reservation online and get a confirmation and the door code for your stay. no fuss +5. It's an old building so it has a well used feeling but my room was clean another +5 The layout of my room (room 1) could of been enhanced with the addition of bedside tables, I rely on my phone for my alarm clock and there was no place within arms reach to place it -3 My largest issue was the constant breathing noise emanating from the bathroom wall. Every 10ish seconds I heard about 2 seconds of water running through the pipes, all night long. I have to say that this was the worst night of sleep that I have in a while. -10

[Note: no extra plush blankets provided, but the in-room heater was good]. Reviews of the water front motels in Port Townsend mentioned bed bugs which scared me and led me to book here. You should think about staying at Mansera Castle if you like character and history because the building has a palpable sense of olden times built into the architecture, the creaky stairs, the narrower door frames, and the oldest working elevator in the state (it's a bit like a freight elevator with brocade dressing). However, the lack of accessible entryway (a flight of steep stairs to get inside) and an antique elevator that is only operable by hotel staff should warn off people with limited mobility, injuries etc. I used the wonderful WiFi for a night of iPad entertainment while toasty under the covers. It was a fun experience for a night, but it might have been louder had the hotel been full. Nearing Christmas, the hotel staff had decorated the erstwhile Victorian-era wealthy resident's home parlor. This was rather charming to see and definitely not replicable in a sterile, modern hotel chain. This vast building was subsequently used as a Jesuit boarding house for decades. The hotel amenities are barebones relative to a modern hotel chain where you might expect a writing desk fitted with desk lamps, and numerous outlets, etc. My room came with TV, refrigerator, a coffee machine and insufficient wall outlets. Even the internal phone system was non existent. Downstairs lobby has coffee in the morning. No breakfast included in the price. The whole historical immersion experience is unique however.
