“My wife and I were celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary and had a wonderful experience / Dinner.
We started with salad. I had a half Cesar. Excellent dressing, my wife had the washington apple salad which was also delicious. Our entrees , my wife had the Ravioli evening special and I had the cod fish and chips, very good. Our desserts were the cheese cake and carrot cake and we both found them amazing, really good. For drinks, my wife had a lemon drop which she really enjoyed and I had a local peach cider (Excellent!) Our server was Taylor B and she was personable and and did an excellent job taking care of us. We will be back!“

“I recommend New Day Fisheries because it is owned by Scott Kimmel- a longtime veteran of the seafood industry and all-around great guy. His pickled herring has no equal in the industry.“

“Food was delicious and equal to the view as we were fortunate enough to grab a waterfront table on the deck on a beautiful day! Friendly staff and totally deserving of 5 stars!“

“We stayed at the Marina RV Park for the weekend and decided to walk on over the night we got in. We had the BEST food and service, we loved it so much that we came back with some friends the next day for lunch. This place has quickly become one of our favorite restaurants, we will be back anytime we’re in Port Townsend. We were talking about that Prime Rib & Cheddar for the rest of the day and into the morning 😆🤤“

“Ah, Manresa Castle. This is a hotel that was built as a private residence in 1892, and honestly, it has not forgotten that for a single day. You walk in and immediately think, “Yeah… this place was built before people had opinions about accessibility.” There are stairs everywhere. It’s like the whole building is training for a stair‑climbing competition it never entered.

They do have an elevator, but it’s one of those old‑time ones that needs an operator. It only runs during certain hours, which is a fun twist. I’ve never stayed anywhere where the elevator has a shift. I kept expecting it to clock out and say, “Alright, good luck with the stairs, buddy.”

While we were waiting to check in, the woman at the desk was telling the family in front of us about a little boy, and possibly a little girl, who haunts the castle. She said it with the enthusiasm of someone reading the ingredients on a granola bar. The kids were mildly interested, which is the exact level of interest you want kids to have in ghosts when you’re about to sleep in the same building.

When it was our turn, I asked about the history, and she gave me a quick summary before upgrading us to a “water view.” I put that in quotes because after two long, narrow staircases (stairs that felt like they were built for people who were shorter, lighter, and more hopeful) we got to our room, opened the curtains, and saw… absolutely no water. I think if you leaned out the window at a dangerous angle, you could maybe see a moist leaf. But we didn’t pay for the fancy room, so honestly, it felt like a fun magic trick.

The room itself was clean and comfortable, minimalist in a way that made me think they were trying to keep the ghosts from having too many things to move around. The bathroom was spacious and spotless. The shower, however, had the hot and cold reversed, and the hot water was very hot. Like, “I almost became the next ghost they tell kids about in the lobby” hot. I turned the handle and immediately learned what lava feels like.

And honestly, the biggest surprise of the whole stay was how quiet the room was. With all the creaky floors and creaky stairs, we were fully expecting to hear half the guests for half the night. Seriously, every other step in that place sounds like it’s filing a noise complaint against itself. I thought we’d get a full audio tour of everyone’s luggage situation. But somehow, mercifully, it was silent. Shockingly quiet. Like the ghosts were tiptoeing out of respect. It was the first time in my life I’ve been in a building that loud and a room that peaceful.

They encourage you to explore the “castle,” which sounds exciting until you realize there’s not much to explore. There’s a small library off the entry, which is charming. We also found a door labeled “Dungeon,” which felt promising, but it was locked. And it had an “Employees Only” sign, which really ruins the medieval vibe. Nothing says “ancient torture chamber” like modern HR boundaries.

We were there in winter, but we still wandered out to the courtyard. It was nice, but not exactly the kind of place where you expect a ghost to dramatically appear. And speaking of ghosts, we didn’t see any. Zero. Although we did see the kids from check‑in the next day at Fort Worden State Park. Or did we?

Four stars for charm, history, and the unexpected cardio.“

“Wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food was outstanding! Friendly and professional service. The food came quickly and was presented beautifully and tasted delicious. I’ll be back for sure!“

“I’ve paid way more than twice as much for seafood not half as good. Raised in Maine I know good seafood and this was better than anything I’ve ever had. His clam chowder and Deep fried Halibut are nothing short of the very best there is. Wonderful meal!“

“The fish is always fresh tasting..never a drop of grease! Best cole slaw I've had in town. Great price for a full meal!!“

“Loved your breakfast! Great job HPC!“

“This lovely small hotel right in the heart of Port Townsend. I walked to restaurants, the Saturday Farmers Market, and shops. The deck off the waterfront room was sunny and peaceful - perfect to enjoy morning coffee. Self check-in worked great, and the room was well stocked with everything I needed. Will definitely return when I'm in PT!Note that the hotel was beautifully renovated in 2018, so older reviews (especially ones about food from the now-closed restaurant below) don't reflect the current experience.“
