Beautifully decorated and redone old historic hotel. The bar and tender were fantastic. Breakfast was like an English continental. Room was very small, bed was wonderful and bathrooms were done with such style and allure. Hotel is Small and quaint yet sophisticated.

Wonderful experience!

The smell when you walk in the place was magical! Buy a candle!! The rooms are so beautiful! We loved the balcony! The shower and bathroom were amazing as well! The staff were so friendly. The bartender was super nice! Ryan helped me upstairs with ice. They gave us great recommendations for food! Great place to stay!

Beautiful little boutique hotel on East Bay Street convenient to great restaurants and shopping. The staff was very helpful and always smiling. We loved our room. Lots of light, big bathroom, balcony overlooking East Bay. A very nice continental breakfast. And as a bonus Carmella's is right next door. Open til midnight. Best carrot cake ever! Hey - you're on vacation!

A beautiful hotel in a perfect location. Our room was very comfortable with a large bathroom and super shower. The breakfast was wonderful with delicious pastries, biscuits and grits. It’s as good as I’ve had at any European hotel. The afternoon cocktail was very nice and the bar and lobby very attractive. I would love to stay here again.
