Frommer's Review

These days many B&Bs are beginning to resemble boutique hotels, with an almost hands-off approach on the part of the hosts. If you seek out B&Bs because you prefer warmer, more traditional treatment, this King William abode is likely to suit you.

It's not just that the house is homey rather than fancy -- although it's got its fair share of antiques, you don't feel as though they're too priceless to approach -- but that owners Sue and Bennie (aka the King of King William) Blansett instantly make you feel welcome. They also help you find whatever you need, and even provide free trolley passes to get you there. But that's not to say you have to be communal constantly. All rooms have TVs with HBO and Showtime, as well as minifridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers. And if you're really antisocial (or traveling with kids and/or a pet), you can always book the separate carriage house, a few doors down from the main house.

Facilities:
Outdoor heated pool; hot tub; Wi-Fi in public areas
