Unfortunately, the Marshal Slocum Inn was, in our opinion, not worth the cost. The breakfast was anything but. A small plate of 1” x 1” coffee cakes and a few apples and bananas in a bowl do not constitute breakfast at a $400 a night B&B. Breakfast aside, everything was very clean and parking was plentiful. The location is within walking distance of downtown. We stayed in the Slocum Room (#2). The bed was very comfortable and, though none of the rooms have a television, there was a small tablet that had Netflix and Disney+ available. The bedside tables had USB ports built-in and each nightstand had a charging cord just in case you forgot yours at home. There were some downsides to the room, though. This is a very old house; the walls and ceilings are very thin. So thin that when someone walked around upstairs, our ceiling fan would shake and vibrate due to improper installation (we actually had to stuff tissues around the globe so we could sleep). If you have loud talkers in the room next to you or someone with heavy feet above you, you’re in trouble. If we didn’t pay over $800 for two nights, I wouldn’t be writing this review. But charging that much means your property is bound to be held to a higher standard.

We stayed in the room that was off the parking lot. The room was cozy and best of all we did not have to go upstairs. The young man that greated us when we checked in was very helpful. The house is charming.
