Perfect to walk everywhere!
Really enjoyed our stay! You will need to be prepared for stairs though. Right in the heart of everything to do in PT and walking distance end to end. Absolutely recommend

Nice historical place
Beautiful interior historic- felt like we were on an old movie set. No AC, but they didn’t have it back then either- thankfully they had box fans. Oh, and apparently a couple of rooms are haunted- according to the house keeper. Fun stay- dog friendly- but 40.00 a night for the dog was not appropriate!!

Charming Victorian-style hotel on main street, close to restaurants, coffee shops and gift shops. Short walk from the marina for our whale watching tour. Friendly and helpful staff.

This is such a beautiful antique-filled hotel. It was very clean and tidy and the staff was extremely accommodating and pleasant. The view of the bay from our room was stunning and the location was right in the heart of downtown, but we did not hear traffic or street noise at night (not that there is much of that in Port Townsend anyway!) Great stay!

Lovely hotel, nice people. Definitely not for people with mobility issues - no elevator and a lot of stairs, my room had a clawfoot tub that I had to climb in and out of.

We loved our stay at the Palace Hotel. It's conveniently located on the main street in Port Townsend and within easy walk to shipping and restaurants. The staff is very accommodating, and the rooms are very spacious and nice. We'd stay here again.

Red Lion staff are friendly and helpful. The property is on the old side, but has been updated enough that it is very comfortable. The location is wonderful as it's right on the water and 1-2 blocks from the downtown coffee shops and restaurants.
