Love the vibe here!
We had the best stay at this B&B! I love the quirky decor and the community vibe - it’s such a comfortable place to stay! Our room felt like the upstairs guest room in a relative’s home, not a bland hotel room. The kitchen was stocked with snacks to grab and the breakfast was so delish. I really enjoyed sharing a table and chatting with other guests abt their plans in the morning. I checked out the roof-top terrace even though it is winter- very cool spot! Safe walkable neighborhood. I could go on and on abt all the small details that made this a fantastic stay! *Note abt the Eagle’s Nest room: hotel hallways are often very busy and the constant activity keeps my dog on edge. In the Eagle’s Nest, there is a small room with a desk which is secluded in a corner away from the hallway door and would hold a small crate easily making the layout great for small dogs to have a comfortable and quiet stay.

Like Staying with a Friend
Ray's is wonderful! More like staying at a friend's house than a hotel. The staff is delightful and the breakfast amazing (and made to order). I stayed in the Woodpecker room which was cozy, but it had a very comfortable bed. Highly recommend!

Just fantastic. Oozes with character, staff is super nice and helpful, and the breakfast is fantastic. Easy street parking and its a quick drive/Lyft to the Salt Shed. Truly a wonderful place to stay and will likely stay again if we're ever in town for a show in the area!
