Fenwick Inn

8/10 Good

"Good hotel. Near everything. If you are looking for a full breakfast, this is not it."

Majestic Hotel & Apartments

8/10 Good

"I had been coming to the Majestic Hotel for almost 40 years. I am really impressed with the work the new owners have put into the hotel. The furniture is a big improvement over previous years, and the carpet is all new, which gives the hotel a nice, clean smell. The beds were very comfortable, and I really enjoyed that the dresser had a built-in HDMI port for connecting my Roku to the tv without needing to get behind the tv. The headboards also have power outlets which is a nice touch. Having seen the Majestic go down over the years, I am really impressed with what the new ownership was able to do just over the 2025-2026 winter. I hope they will continue to improve the hotel, there are still some key areas to improve on, such as returning the rocking chairs, adding curtains instead of blinds, a fridge/microwave in every room, and upgrading the doors to modern RFID locks. I also wasn't thrilled about the addition of a $15/day parking fee. All that said, if you were someone who previously stayed there but stopped due to the decline in previous years, I strongly recommend giving the new owners a chance; they've done a lot and I hope they keep improving."
