Isabelle and Ron have been running the Towne Hotel (e silent) for 60 years as of this post. They are old school professionals, and compared to many of the other hotels in the area a great value in my opinion. The have old school touches, like fresh baked carrot cake and apple pie every day. Simple complementary breakfast. Door security and key check 24-7. They have an in house bar and resturant, with both familiar, and native dishes. One of the better places to eat for a sensitive stomache, and better priced than the cruise boat area joints.
Yes the beds and bathrooms could use improvement. The beds move around on rollers. The bathroom tile are cracked in places, fixtures corroded out. Overall construction must be 50 years old at least, leaning on the small side. However, the location is ideal...away from tourists but a block from the Pirate Museum and GrayCliff Chocolater/Hotel/Resturant. The Wifi was improved by adding 5 different addresses throughout the hotel.
Both the service and wifi are a little slow at times, but you should not be rushing anyway. Meet a lot of guests in the common courtyard if you want. Tread water in the unheated pool. Say "hello" to Max the Parrot.

Very disappointed. Staff was aloof- the hotel itself is in disrepair. The pool is dirty and cold. We booked a junior suite and barely had room to walk around the bed. The mattress was like a plywood board. The worst was the nightclub next door that blasted music through the thin walls all night. I had read so many good reviews and was excited for a nice visit. Sadly we would not come back here. There was no upside.

Older hotel but we'll maintained. Staff and owners are very friendly. You do get a lot of noise as hotel is in the downtown area but I didn't mind it. Lunch and dinner were both excellent. The free continental breakfast you can skip. Not very good. Muffins were stale and really no variety in the items offered. Very basic. They have a breakfast menu but cooks don't come in until noon so no breakfast but the continental. Luckily Dunkin' Donuts is behind the hotel on the corner. Max the Macaw was really fun to interact with! 2 for 1 happy hour drinks! Excellent Bahama Mamas!
