2 reviews for F.W. Hastings House Old Consulate Inn
This old Victorian house was built in 1889 and housed the German Consul from 1908 to 1911. It's now a state landmark and a hotel. I've stayed here twice since 1990. It's a neat old house with rickety floors and stairways and a cozy feeling. They serve an excellent breakfast in the mornings as well. The rooms are all well-decorated, maybe a little too much actually, but they're charming and comfortable. Most of the rooms have Puget Sound views out the windows.
One great thing about this B&B is that my dad and his parents lived in it when it was an apartment building in the mid 1940s when my dad was an infant. They lived on the spacious third floor which is now divided up into different rooms. My dad gets all teary-eyed when he goes back there. My grandfather was stationed at nearby Fort Worden.
The owners have been running the hotel for several years and love doing what they're doing. I highly suggest a stay here. It's worth the expense.

A beautiful Red Victorian at the top of a hill, overlooking Port Townsend and the Sound. The host/cook was extremely cordial and well-versed in the history of the inn and the area, even the eclectic lighthouse across the street. The basement has a great billiard table, darts, and games. Be prepared to eat the biggest breakfast of your life with the most courses you've ever seen. Here's a list of one of our breakfasts: yogurt parfaits with mandarin oranges and mint, Belgian waffles with strawberries and cream, grilled polish sausage, poach eggs with Hollandaise sauce, spiced applesauce, and lemon pound cake with rum sauce. Seriously, be prepared to stuff your face! There were deer outside our window the second morning in park across the way. There is also a hot tub and lovely grounds with porch swings to laze about in. This inn has a wrap around porch so when the weather is nice, it would be a great place to read, journal, meditate, chat with your loved one, etc.
