We enjoyed our 2 night stay for the Bunker hill battle weekend. It was so close to Stage Fort and Stacy Blvd with gas station, store and restaurants right down the street. The room was decorated nicely and was clean. However - the bathroom - shower was a slooow drain which is gross. tiny rusty sink and nasty floor. needs new toilet. If you can get past that - go for it

Not for us

The place itself is beautiful but unfortunately there was a wedding happening while we were there and it took up all the outdoor space so we were not able to enjoy it and had to pretty much stay in our room had nowhere to eat our dinner no table or chairs in our room.

I didn't learn until I a got my room key that I wasn't staying in the Inn! All other Inns I've been to identified their rooms as rooms not suites! Because I choose a room, I felt like I was staying at a Motel-6! The room however was neat and clean! It would have been nice to have a small table and two chairs to sit on! You could only sit on the beds!

The staff was super helpful and accommodating with the changes I needed to make the morning of my stay. The rooms were very clean and the property is beautiful. I left my rings there and the staff immediately notified me, which is amazing.

Disliked: Amenities
The motel is clean and the beds are comfortable. The room could use a table or someplace for a lady to do hair/makeup. Shower has no shelf to put soap or toiletries. They do have shampoo/bodywash bolted to the wall, but I never use that stuff because of allergies. There isn't even a chair in the room and no rugs, so bring socks or slippers. The AC is extremely loud. Also, I paid for a room with balcony, but was in the lower level of the motel with a view of overgrown brush. The place was fine for one night, but rather expensive. I may try to stay in the Manor Inn itself someday, but the motel part is pretty questionable considering the price.

Charming Victorian Inn

It is a restored old inn and just lovely. Views are great. Our room was on third floor with no elevator but even though I use a cane, it was do-able. There is a very nice wraparound porch to sit on with wicker chairs.

The staff from the manager to the housekeepers were all very friendly, hospitable, professional, and accommodating. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. The only criticism I have is of the room. 1. Bathroom window was stuck shut with no fan in the room. Any showering caused steaming of entire room. 2. Water was set so hot that chrome was peeling off the how water knob on the bathtub. 3. The valve stem for the cold-water bathtub knob is defective causing water to leak. There is a slow drip even when both knobs are closed to off. When I came into the room, the previous occupant had closed the plug to the bathtub to demonstrate to the next person that there was a leak. 4. It would have been nice if there had been a desk and a chair in the room (or at least a table and a chair ) if a person wanted to do any type of work or eat in the room.

What we didn't like. The room could have been cleaner. The rooms fridge only kept items cool, not cold. The bathroom was very small, no place to set or hang items.. There was a closet like area, with a clothes rod for hanging clothing. Regretfully, there were no clothes hangers.
