Our room was wonderful with great windows and views. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was very good with great service. The outdoor was somewhat neglected, especially the patio and landscaping. There was not daily refreshing of the room (no change of towels, emptying the single garbage bin or refilling the container of soap). Overall we enjoyed our stay in this historic hotel.
The Latch was the perfect spot for our weekend getaway! The room was incredibly comfy and the original charm of the building was apparent throughout. Our room overlooked the marina which offered excellent sunset views. The breakfast was also 10/10!
The Latch is a great place to stay…when there are no children or babies. I understand the financial necessity of offering accommodation to kids and babies but I don’t think the inn is built for them. Maybe a Holiday Inn type of offering might be better? The walls are very thin. I dodged them this trip but not the last. There is a chance you’ll hear horns of large boats backing out of the yard at the marina next door. It happened at 6:30 am on my last trip but I think it’s rare.
Stand up fan in room not working and I told them at 6pm that I would like a working fan as the room was hot. I was told that someone would come and look at it. Nobody came and there is no one available unless it’s an emergency after 7pm. So the room was hot and it was hot during the night. Couldn’t keep the balcony doors open as had a little dog and no rails on deck. My husband told them that we wanted room service for breakfast and was advised we could have it delivered at 945. No one asked us what we wanted for breakfast. The next morning I called and had to leave a message. No return call. We decided to go to the dining room since we hadn’t heard back by 9am. They told us at breakfast that they charged our credit card for $10 the previous evening for room service for breakfast but they would refund the money through the card. The patio wasn’t open for happy hour even though it was a beautiful day. Happy hour was inside. They served a lovely dish of nuts. The staff are lovely but there are only 2 of them and they do everything from check you in, serve you drinks, cook your breakfast, be the wait staff in the dining room and check you out.
