The Marshall Slocum Inn finds the sweet spot between luxury B&B and casual guest house. Unlike some overly precious B&Bs, the Marshall Slocum feels like home. The furniture is nice, but there are no priceless antiques. The bed was super comfortable but the furniture was nothing special. I stayed in the Bostonian room, which is definitely on the small side (the bathroom is tiny) but more than adequate, especially for a solo traveler.
The Inn is remarkably spacious with wonderful spaces to sit indoors and out. In the time of COVID-19, having so much outdoor space to enjoy is a real plus. The owners have done a good job of taking COVID precautions. The inn is immaculately clean, checkin is contact-less, and mask wearing is required inside the house. I was surprised to find a number of self-serve options, such as an ice maker, a water pitcher, and coffee urns, that made me a little uncomfortable. But overall, the innkeepers have done a good job of balancing safety and comfort.
The owners maintain a very low profile. Aside from serving breakfast (delicious), you really don't see them much, which was fine by me as I find some B&B proprietors to be overbearing and intrusive.
The Marshall Slocum Inn is an excellent option for travelers looking for a well-located, comfortable, and reasonably priced place to stay. Highly recommended.
