We stayed here for one night, in this wonderful, lovely boutique hotel. The hotel is located one block from King Street, with easy walking access to the abundance of restaurants, shops, and waterside. The entire place is quaint. Our room had a massive, tall four poster King sized bed, quite comfortable. (I rated the bed comfort as a 4 not a 5, since it didn't quite match the beds at the Sofitel in Paris or the Pan Pacific---now JW Marriot---in San Francisco.) The room had an Early American feel to it...intricate wall coverings and mouldings, a fireplace, old restored furniture and a period chandalier... Plus a large, modern bath room with beautiful marble counters...
As for the staff....all were extremely friendly and helpful. Everyone knew our names! They graciously helped with directions to the hotel, and offered advice about restaurants. They made us feel at home.
I wouldnt necessarily recommend this place if you're bringing children, unless they are older and mature. This is a good value, an excellent choice for a romantic getaway or generally for a couples vacation. Highly recommended!
