My husband and I stayed at the Historic Whiting Hotel from October 15 - 19, 2023. We enjoyed the quiet, we are from NYC, and have to say that we had the best sleep considering we were in an unfamiliar environment. Joseph and his staff were very friendly, courteous, and helpful. They were always accommodating and went out of their way to assist us every time we called.
What we did not like was that the tub is an accident waiting to happen. It wasn't too scary for me. That said, it was for my husband. There are no hold railings to get into and out of the tub. We had to come in/out by holding onto the sink and the side of the tub ever so slowly as we entered or left the tub. Also, there wasn't any type of rubber padding in the tub to help avoid a fall. We used one of the hand towels on the floor of the tub to add some stability for our feet. There was only soap as an amenity in the bathroom and that was a sliver. We went to the store to buy a bar of soap so that we could wash. I would recommend a hand help shower head to bathe because I think it would have been safer considering the issues we had with the tub. This way we could stand still and adjust the hand held shower head to the different parts of our body.
Lastly, some hangers would have come in handy. There wasn't a one. Didn't think to ask for hangers because I assumed that if they were not in the room, they didn't exist.
Despite my complaints about the property, we did enjoy ourselves.
