The Water Street Hotel Experience

The hotels in Port Townsend can be really fun and interesting.  The Water Street Hotel is an old Victorian building that is really fun to stay in.  The ceilings are 18 feet high. The wood work is original - beautiful pine doors and thick open woodwork.  See the amazingly tall windows?  They rattled and whistled with the wind at night.  The hotel sits right in the middle of downtown - in fact next door to the Lewis's favorite candy store - Elevated Ice Cream Shoppe.

The kids thought this loft was really cool until it got dark and windy outside.  Admittedly, the mom in me was super worried about the kids coming down the stairs/ladder in the middle of the night.  They were fine, though.  When it got too dark and windy, they decided they needed company.

Then they opted for the hide-a-bed out in the main room by the queen size bed.  The room could sleep six people.  Pretty impressive.  I'm sure that at some point in time these were apartments.  They would have been cozy places for a couple or a single person.

 I took this picture of the kitchen over the top of the half wall to try to get a better view.  The stove and refrigerator are on the left side of the shot.  We brought all the makings for frittata, bagels, and cut up fruit for breakfast on the Friday after Thanksgiving.  We invited Bruce, Sandy, and Rochelle to come downtown and breakfast with us.

 

Some people sat at the round dining table to eat.  Can you see the pretty wood floor in the kitchen behind Rochelle?  Such a great place.

Since the table only had four seats, others of us spread out to the many places in the living room to enjoy breakfast.  Yummy and fun to hang out at the hotel.
