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.

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.

Good time at the Island House
All was taken care of. Luggage was delivered from the ferry and was sent for us to the ferry return trip. All we had to do was drop it off at the appropriate locations. We had no worries about luggage. Fabulous!

Great location, well preserved historical hotel The only negative feedback would be regarding the front desk staff who were very unfriendly, standoffish and almost unwelcoming I think there is a even tinge of racism as well Otherwise, housekeeping staff and the wait staff at 1852 grill were outstanding
