Manresa Castle

Great stay at an old heritage Hotel. The facilities could use a little freshening up but however is saying that this is a building that is over 100 years old and that in itself made it a very cool place to stay. Staff was very good and accomodating and took the time to fill us in on the history of the building. a little bit away from town but great views of the bay. Great little BBQ joint two blocks away, doesnt look like much but the food was great. I would recommend this hotel.

very accommodating to change of floor. Do wish there was breakfast option

Room and furniture was worn and could use upgrading. Refrigerator handle was broken. Furniture looked like it was from a thrift store. Mismatched and worn.

Noisy from other tenants nearby. Room had a tiny window only for ventilation. Only ice machine was a 100 step round trip from third floor to first floor. No AC. Only one chair to sit. No worth the price by a mile.

Great building, good location, slept well

Customer service when checking in was wonderful! Lots of history was provided which we enjoyed. This was our second time staying and both times the bar and restaurant were closed, which was a bummer. We specifically booked again to enjoy their little bar that we’d seen through windows. The property is beautiful but you can hear everything inside and outside, which made sleeping difficult. We most likely won’t return after two visits.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating and am thankful for their service. I was disappointed in the condition of the hotel. I stay here many times in the mid-1980s and the condition of the hotel was much nicer. From the outdoor grounds not being taken care of to the carpets in the hallways and common areas that seem dirty, never shampooed, or vacuumed. Many scuff marks on hallway and stairway walls. It just seems like the owner is draining money off the hotel and not putting it back into the hotel to make it a rewarding destination stay.

Great check in, staff member was very nice and helpful. Bed was super comfy. Bathroom was uncomfortably warm, sun coming in very large bathroom window at 7am made it extremely hot in there. Bathroom outlet wouldn’t power hair straightener. We loved the charm of hotel overall, especially the lovely woodwork. Would stay again but not in summer due to lack of air conditioning.

Great stay will definitely plan a time to come back!

What a unique and charming place to stay. It was like stepping back in time. The beds were very comfortable. Rooms were quiet. The staff was friendly and attentive. Their restaurant provided a relaxing atmosphere and delicious food.

Super awkward walking in to the front desk person on the phone, a personal call on speaker and the person is talking about their period and schizophrenia…she also gave us wrong directions to our room 😅 The hotel is clean and beautiful. They give a little history recap at check in and that was really cool. We got the private bathroom & jetted tub room, totes worth the extra. Overall, will stay again.

Castle is cool for sure. The bathroom was new and immaculately clean, the room however hadn't been vacuumed in a while, someone else's dirty socks and undergarments were still under the bed. Just felt run down. The Mexican restaurant in the building was meh, service was meh. Felt like the neighborhood dive that could be amazing but wasn't. It served it's purpose as a place to stay for a few days and nothing was horrific, but probably will stay somewhere else next time.

History comes alive in this fascinating building with large rooms and magnificent, huge windows equipped with antique oak carved frames and towering ceilings. It is a quiet place with pleasant grounds but a bit of a distance from the main waterfront entertainment food and shopping area

It would have been nice to know that the lounge and restaurant were closed sundays, The bar was one of the things I was most looking forward to esp as it was also closed the last time I was in town. Also we stayed sun night and Monday is apparently garbage day and from like 7am-9am it was super loud and pretty awful. They could do such a better job making this a cool place. I was pretty disappointed. Won’t stay again.

Manresa castle is a really beautiful building inside and out. Everything is really comfortable and it’s only a few minutes away from downtown Port Townsend. Showerhead is a little low so you will have to bend your head down in order to wash your hair.

Beautiful property and spacious room.

No AC. Elevator not always available. Surrounding road full of potholes. Very nostalgic.

Nowhere on the website did it say this property was not handicapped accessible. Lots of stairs to get to the entrance. No elevator access for early morning checkout so I had to use narrow, steep stairs with only one handrail.

We enjoyed our stay

This was a unique opportunity to stay in a castle. There are a lot of stairs. However, Amber, at the front desk made the whole stay wonderful. She took us up with a 1920 original elevator with our luggage. The castle has claims of paranormal activity but, we did not experience anything unusual. We had a window looking out at the harbor which was a welcome sight to wake up to. There is a bar and restaurant in house but we went to explore the town and ate at Sirens which was wonderful and had a karaoke night.

The building is a charming European-style hotel that was originally a mansion built by one of the town's founders. Over the past decades, it has been extensively remodeled while retaining its charm. One of the former owners installed bathrooms in each room. Prior to that, each floor had communal bathrooms. We had a West-facing room that had a view of a State office building and strip mall. the East-facing rooms have panoramic views of town and the headwaters of the Salish Sea. Our room had no air conditioning, but it wasn't needed. While the room was comfortable, be aware that the hotel does not meet current ADA standards. There are lots of stairs leading up to the entrances and the upper floors (a staff-operated elevator serves the first and second floors) and the bathrooms are small. The hotel sits on a steep hill about 1 1/2 miles West of downtown Port Townsend. If you're a walker, you will get a workout.

This was a beautiful old building with friendly staff and a great on site restaurant. We had a great stay! If you love history and old buildings then you'll love it! If you want modern then this is not the right place for you. The room was updated and the bed was comfortable.

Old fashioned

I love the castle. I have been there before. Wish the restaurant stayed open later. Tv was hard to navigate. Should have instructions. Microwave would be nice in the room.

Nice Castle. Kind of away from the main town by about 3 miles or so. Too far to walk. Staff friendly. Not sure I would return, fun to stay once. No ghosts seen.

Construction next lot was really loud

I have always wanted to stay here for as long as I can remember. I was bummed that for spending so much money on this room that the bed wasn’t more comfortable. In fact, I haven’t felt a bed so bouncy in all of my life, it sank rather deeply anytime I went to sit or lie down. I do wish the bathroom would’ve had a counter space or a better area (one that didn’t have a metal grated type shelf for things to fall through) to put my makeup. It also felt very cold and sterile like a hospital which I really didn’t like. I suppose I didn’t expect much more for the time period in which it was created but a little modern love, a dramatic color tone and complimentary touches to really maintain and magnify it’s historic charm would go a long way. I also think the massive clash of wallpapers, and the lack of a quality wall decor, and solid color scheme throughout made a bad impression. This room needs a makeover, replaced missing chandelier prisms & some very basic touches. If done right, this room could feel far more luxurious and better all around to achieve that feeling I had hoped to feel staying here - and unfortunately due to these clashing factors, did not. It was definitely neat in it’s own right don’t get me wrong, and I can finally cross it off my bucket list but I was disappointed that it didn’t feel quite as grand and amazing as I mentally anticipated. More than anything else, that room desperately needs a cozy mattress and better bedding.

The only thing I can complain about is that the room had an odd smell like very dried paint, besides that, great front desk support/hospitality and communication with guidance

Fun old pile with a ghost story! Stayed here for two nights with family because of its somewhat unique history and vibe. The hotel is shabby, the restaurant has a mundane menu and is only available for dinner. The elevator can only be operated when staff are at the desk, which means it isn't available for guests arriving after hours. Still, we had fun staying here. Definitely not a chain hotel experience. Rooms are large, there were deer in the garden. Plenty of hot water. But few special amenities. Great value if you are staying off-peak. Overpriced for those travelling in high season given what you get for your money.

Wonderful staff

Lovely atmosphere

It was great to return to a beautiful place after a long day and not have to see homeless in the area.
