Parking is difficult to find if you arrive late. We really recommend arriving early and finding a spot. The area is extremely walkable so not driving around is not an issue.

Lovely Getaway
The hotel was very nice. Friendly staff. Large clean rooms. Parking was not ideal but there are options. Proximity to Brophy's is a plus. Shout out to Elizabeth for being a ray of sunshine at the front desk in the morning.

We booked our stay here at the last minute and we were wonderfully surprised. The staff was so helpful and kind. The premises was charming and quaint and clean. The Libby was beautiful with a true cottage core feel. Loved the cookie and sangria on arrival. The color scheme. Outside was lovely cream and black trim with lush greenery hanging down . Inside was bright clean and so comfortable. We booked the king size bed and loved that the room had a fireplace. Nice tv coffe and bottled water with lovely wicker seating. Also love the seating infront of our room. The outdoor fireplace and seating was also lovely. This immediately became a traditional place for us for our next trip. Thank you so so much for making our stay lovely. Also we god a solid night sleep with the bed and loved that the windows and shutters opened. :-)

This hotel is absolutely charming! Great service and great location. Having Brophy's onsite is very convenient. There is also sangria and cookies daily for guests in the lobby. The continental breakfast was plenty to get us going every morning. Espresso maker in the room, and coffee in the lobby. The property landscaping adds to its beauty. The ability to open windows to let the fresh, cool air into the rooms was also very nice. Our room had a smell that I can only compare to what your grandma's house smelled like. Not a bad smell, but definitely a smell I associate with age. We were on the second floor and our floors creaked when we walked which made me wonder if the first floor guests could hear us. There is no elevator so if you are needing an ADA compliant room your choices may be limited.
