I booked the room kinda late but the staff were quick to respond and very polite and helpful on getting me into my room. The room was so clean and beautiful and the bed was super comfortable. Had great stay and would recommend The 1890 Freeman House to anyone.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Our room was clean and ready for us when we got there. The house is precious and very convenient to The Strand. It was quiet and had great AC that can be adjusted if needed. I appreciated the texting option with the owner/manager. Great to get quick answers and fix any issues that may arise....but I doubt you will have any. We loved it and would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful, restored house in the historic district. Wonderful and helpful staff. It does not have an elevator because it is in the historic district but stairs are well lighted. Close to a wonderful cafe for breakfast and close to the port if you are going on a cruise.
