"Very high quality place. Bungalows in separate buildings. Not much of a view, you're in the city, but very nice grounds and furnishings. Not cheap, I paid $550 for a Saturday night in August. Walking distance (8 minutes) to State street. Great, free breakfast in the am, pastries and coffee."

Travelocity Verified Review

"Room was very clean but very dark - not a lot of lighting. AC did not go very high, and the room stayed super humid the whole time. The elevator was very very slow and the door closed on us twice as we waited for people to leave the elevator before we got in. That said, it's a beautiful property; very clean, very well maintained and perfect location. Staff was ok; not super friendly but managed to get me in and out. One older blonde woman behind the reception desk was staring my mother and I down as if she wanted to make sure we were staying there while we waited for the elevator which made us uncomfortable, but we just tried to ignore her."
