Great but super firm bed

Overall wonderful location, continental breakfast better than expected, charming rooms. King size bed was very hard in room 2. Definitely in need of replacement.

The Merritt House Hotel was beautiful and quaint. The employees were very cordial. The rooms were gorgeous. The seagulls do not sleep. The fireplace and skylight put a beautiful touch on the room as well. We could have used a microwave in the room but we loved it.
