Check-in was fast and the front-desk person was helpful and friendly.
Great location-at the end of town so convenient but not busy.
The room had a refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. Well-appointed bathroom.
Easy parking near the rooms.

The Swan has been a wonderful place to stay! We were welcomed warmly when we checked in, and our room was immaculate and offered a nice view of the marina. It's easy to walk from the hotel to downtown restaurants and shops. And it's great to know we're benefitting the Northwest Maritime nonprofit across the street.

Such a great place to stay in Port Townsend! It’s at the end of the main shopping/restaurant street, so very convenient and NOT in the middle of the party/music/bar area…
which is GREAT! Btw. (The music/bar area) love it!!
Such a great little town! Lots to do and see! So if you stay here, you can walk steps to the action and not be IN it. It’s such great place to stay.
Very clean, very close to the action and not IN it.

Most "pet-friendly" properties are merely pet-tolerant. The staff at The Swan seem to actually enjoy having pets there.

Great location - kind staff
We were in town for one night. Conveniently located at the end of the Main Street. Walkable to everything. Nice, artsy town with nice shops & galleries. We stayed in one of the “cabins”. Cozy. Everything you need. They gave us early check-in. We’d been camping for days and wanted to shower. Staff was kind and accommodating .

Our first night stay, went well, check in was easy, easy parking and check out. I wish more coffee pod flavors. Tried taking my puppy for a walk in the morning but a lot of people out and about some homeless. But just be mindful. Drove to get breakfast. Found a place close by for dinner. Our view from our room was nice view of the water, our room was cozy with the heater and our bed so comfortable. Wish the room was a bit bigger for the price. But for a night was good.

Super nice and cute boutique hotel. Clean, has great amenities including access to the athletic club across the street. We wished we knew that as well. But overall great location and easy to park and walk to various areas of town.

I stayed in a stand a lone cabin. Very comfortable bed. Lovely bath. Sitting area with fireplace. Small meal prep area. Located one block off main street at the end so no thru traffic. Very quiet. Also had a hotel building with several floors. Exceptionally clean
