We visited Hillhurst Inn during a heat wave just as Hurricane Earl was coming up the east coast. The staff is very accommodating. Melanie carried my bags up to my third floor room. The room was large with a sofa and desk and a king-size bed. There was a very large closet. The bathroom was very clean and had a jacuzzi tub. I walked 2 or 3 blocks, and I was in the heart of the town. Scott, the innkeeper, served a wonderful breakfast. I would stay there again.

O.k. When given the option of either a queen or king room at the same price was given to me, I shouldn't have hesitated. The "choice" between the two was gone by the time we got there hours later. Queen it was. I should have remembered that Frommer's stated that some of the bathrooms were closets. Closet size from the 20's small. A corner shower and if you brought your head up fast at the sink you may hit your head on the shelf, substandard. Not the room you hope for especially at B&B prices. The morning breakfast was good, mostly 'cause of the guests there. Not a place you feel you can spend an afternoon just relaxing. Nice Island, but looking back would pass for an extra 2 days in Nova Scotia.

this was the first time i ever stayed at a b & b. i was a little nervous as we were traveling with my 3 1/2 yr old daughter.
the service was exceptional and they made us feel very welcome. we had went out for the evening and when we returned the hideabed had been pulled out for my daughter as well as childrens movies had been left.
the breakfast was tasty. We had french toast, sausages and coffee and juice. much better then a breakfast that would be included at a hotel.

Awesome Bed & Breakfast - very well located in the town - easy access to all important points but most critically had the best window amongst all properties we have ever stayed at - allowed maximum light possible.

Great breakfast, nice & elegant furnishing (not overdone), more open than most older homes in the entrance area. Capable but tacit hosts. Washroom/Bathroom was tiny else everything else was fabulous.
