Very nice boutique hotel. Feels like you’re in a house. Took a bit to get hot/cold water to be correct temp and the parking is very tight. Very safe and convenient spot. Would come again.

We stayed in a suite in the historic part of the property. The room was clean and inviting. The furniture, art and fixtures are mostly antiques and fit the history of the building. The gardens are beautiful. The bed was not super comfortable, but acceptable. We passed on the breakfast as there are so many yummy options within walking distance. The outdoor ice maker was broken, so we had to get ice from the front desk, which closes pretty early in the evening. The fireplace is charming, but I had to complain in order to get more than one log per night.

Will come back AGAIN!

This was an awesome stay. I’ve stayed here once before, and was so glad I had the same good experience. Staff was super friendly, room was super great and cozy. Clean, updated and in a GREAT location. I can’t recommend this place enough, it was extremely walkable and the parking was awesome.
