"What a wonderful, comfortable, unexpected place! Great staff, and the check-in process could not be easier. Our room was enormous, quiet, and full of fascinating objects on display explaining the history of the property. The inner courtyard spaces are lovely, and the trolley car bar is a must visit. A gem of the area, a little bit off the beaten path, but close to everything you'd want to visit."
