The James is not for everyone…but it may be perfect for you. Because you value authenticity and appreciate thoughtful details. The form (and even the location) of this colonial structure has  evolved over hundreds of years:  from tavern to store to pharmacy and more.  If these walls could talk, you might hear the voice of General Lafayette (a visitor in 1824), or  the first African-American woman pharmacist in CT, or a young girl who would grow up to be the best selling Black novelist in America. A narrow and steep staircase leads to three bedrooms, each a reimagined – and beautiful – blend of the past and modern-day luxury. We value your privacy. Lobby and guest room keypad entry gives you the freedom to come and go at will. There is no daily maid service to deal with. Your room is cleaned before and after your stay. For extended stays, rooms are refreshed and stocked with fresh towels and toiletries on the 3rd day.

 

Each room features:

 

  • Keypad room entry

  • Stearns and Foster handmade mattress

  • Comphy sheets

  • Oversized shower in sparkling subway tile

  • Beekman 1802 toiletries

  • Air conditioned comfort

  • Gas fireplace
