Nice place, not sure I would come back.
The hotel is historic and lovely with a great location. The porch and firepits were great. The lobby is warm and welcoming. The room was small but clean but it was VERY loud. The first night, kids playing in the hallways, knocking on doors til after 2am when i called and asked to please help us and then at 7am, we were awakened by the cleaning staff slamming into our door making their way to other rooms yesterday, today shampooing carpets. If you would like to sleep in or get some rest on your getaway, this is not the place to stay. The front desk was apologetic but I feel like 7am is too early to be waking guests. (obviously they did not cause the kids to run around, they did help when I called) It is a pricey stay for so little quiet.

Comfort, Convenience & Quality
Our Island House stay was perfect! The location couldn’t be better…within walking distance of shops, restaurants & state park hiking trails. The hotel also had the best prices in town for bike rental & Casey, who rents the hotel’s bikes was friendly & accommodating! The 1852 Grill Room had the absolute best prime rib we’ve ever tasted!! All in all we would highly recommend The Island House Hotel.

Loved Ialnd House! So beautiful, location great. It is a historic hotel, so rooms are small and you can hear through the walls, but the ambiance more than makes up for it. Would def stay there again.

10/10 Exceptional

The only thing I didn't care for was the lack of any type of safety feature in the room's bathroom. All tub/showers should have at least one! The bathroom is very small and one false step on the shiny tile floor can result in a fall with serious injury. I am 72 years old and was fearful getting in and out the tub/shower because it was so slippery and nothing to hang onto. OBTW the shower rod wasn't even attached to the wall on on end.
