Late check in was a breeze. Grounds were peaceful, beautiful and quiet. A little slice of paradise! We were in the Artist room. Perfect, quaint, clean. My only suggestion would be to add some hooks. Anywhere. To hang towels, etc. Hooks are a girls best friend. We will definitely be back!!

This was an ok stay and met our needs. Check in was easy and well organised. Limited breakfast buffet and as it was raining and we were using the sofa bed, we had nowhere to sit and eat

We were located in Truman Room having balcony. A very good opportunity for relaxing at evening. Nice tiny Pool is there too. The breakfast is better than american average. The City is a nice Walk. But bicycles are avalaible.

Our room was next to pool and very noisy due to unsupervised kids in the pool for hours. Ask for room away from pool. A long walk to Duval Street. Bed was very comfortable. The room was a little old, but clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
