Southport hotel guide. Independent hotel in Southport, Connecticut

"Rooms clean. Halls smell of either cigarette smoke or marijuana. Everything freshly painted it must be in the carpets. My room was clean and odor free. "

"We spent a week here with two dogs and somehow it was not a nightmare. The room was quite large and carpet-free which is a good thing with pets. The beds were a bit too hard, the pillows excellent. The thermostat is over-engineered and incomprehensible. Great shower. Badly-placed light switches. And the free breakfast was not a high point. So, if I have some complaints, why five stars? Two things: the vibe. I know that's vague, but JHouse has a great vibe. And second: Tony's restaurant. 5 meals and not a step wrong. The staff is professional and motivated. The food is excellent as is the bar. It's a fun place. Long years ago I waited tables and I'd have liked to work at Tony's. My sole complaint? The soup spoon was too small and I wanted that lobster bisque in my mouth faster. Add a bakery right across the street, a gourmet food store, a pet store a block away, and all the Autumn colors in November. In all, a lovely experience. "

"It was fine. "
