We got upgraded to a room in one of the accompanying inns, our room was called Mrs. Astor. The room was small, but comfortable with a king sized bed. We did not order breakfast. Overall, no complaints. The parking was easy and available, just a little scary pulling out of the lot since it's such a narrow driveway.

It was cold, I understand it's an old building but it was freezing in the morning, extra blanket was very helpful.

The location is excellent. Rick was very friendly and caring. We weren't lucky with the weather but had a great time

The room was pretty hot, so having a small fan available would have been great.

The location was excellent and very nice to have parking available.

Smoke detector was beeping the entire stay. Requested to have it addressed but unfortunately no luck.

Staff was fantastic. Friendly, informative, and accommodating.

unfortunately, my room neighbors were rather loud, but that is not the fault of those who run the inn.

this is in an excellent location, and the proprietor was very helpful and provided great advice on what to do during our short stay. very friendly and easy-going staff.

In our case, so you are aware…when you book, it’s under the guise of staying at the ‘Melville House’ however, we received a call from Rick the morning of, to offer an ‘upgrade’ which would include staying in a different, yet still nearby, building. Was not a problem and not travelling with children, so no big deal. Plus, appreciated the ‘upgrade’ (although had nothing to compare it to) On arrival, we were directed to check in at one location, (not the Melville) And subsequently escorted across the street to another building. Room was quaint and warm. Definitely suited our purpose for the one night stay. Check in time was flexible and was nice to not have to rush out early next morning. Check out time was extended. Perhaps to Ameliate the walk to and from breakfast. All in all, our stay was pleasant and comfortable. Crystal made us a cooked-to-order breakfast which was delicious. Private off-street Parking was available. GREAT location to walk the neighbourhood. If you are into historical architecture you will love it. Many wonderful restaurants within walking distance. Our favourite, White Horse Tavern merely a stones throw away. Always an adventure!

Breakfast was perfect. Although not provided at the location we stayed. Was a 12 min walk away at another property. Not a big deal and was a pleasant walk. Just wasn’t expecting that to be the case.

The property management company owns several historical homes on this lovely and quaint street. We had reserved a small room in the Melville house but when we arrived they offered to upgrade us to a larger room if we checked in alittle later, which we did. The room they offered was in another of their homes on the street and it was absolutely beautiful. Large king size bed and a bathroom with two vanity sinks. They were thoughtful to offer a black colored "Make-Up" towel for those who need one. My husband and I had to leave at 6am the next morning and the guest keeper, a gentlemen whom I did not get his name, greeted us with hot and fresh coffee at 6am. How wonderful is that. We filled our thermos and slipped out quietly to not wake up the other guests. The parking was located behind the building and our car was easily accessible. We are definitely coming back next year. Thank-you the wonderful team at Melville House and see you next year!

Jacuzzi tub did not work, that was disappointing, however we made it work as a regular bathtub! sometimes you have to improvise!

Rick was able to accomodate my husband and I with a room at a property closer to Thames street due to my spouse's inability to walk long distances. He was funny, entertaining and so knowledgeable about everything! we would definitely stay there again!

Building was more rundown and expected in room was very claustrophobic However once we saw the fire access we felt better

We liked it it was available we liked the location and we liked the price and the staff was fabulous

Can’t think of anything!

We were actually upgraded to the Cleveland House next door. These historic homes are lovely and just a 7minute walk to the waterfront and main shopping/tourist attractions. Very confortable rooms, furnished tastefully. Free continental b-fast or a lovely full b-fast for $16. Extremely friendly and helpful staff.

Host was very accommodating and pleasant! He gave us an upgrade because he thought it would make our stay extra pleasant. He was right!

Third floor walkup was a bit "far" from street. Parking was a bit tight but they helped with that. You definitely need to consider the size of your vehicle at this location. The streets are old and parking is very tight. Otherwise there was nothing else I didn't like.

Breakfast at the house. Location was central and historic and great. Loved access to self-serve breakfast foods all day. Access to water and small group kitchen was great as well!

The bathroom is very small and outdated.

There isn’t much not to like,but if I have to say something one could grump about it would be the parking gets complicated. We always got a spot but you have to be a fearless driver to manage the parking lots which are tight with narrow entrances.

This is a lovely establishment, comfortable, good size room, frette linens and towels. great shower, and ac. complimentary continental breakfast and delicious (paid) breakfast available upon request. The property is centrally located to restaurants, bars and shops all within walking distance. innkeeper Rick is very accommodating and helpful. We will go back.
