The Deluxe Queen Room had a charming decor that added a cozy touch to our stay.

I absolutely adored the peaceful gardens and lovely outdoor nooks for coffee. My room had a cozy terrace and fireplace, creating a welcoming retreat after a day of exploration.

However, the contactless check-in felt odd, and I missed the personal touch of staff interactions. It would have helped to have clearer instructions, especially for tech-challenged travelers like me.

Beautiful gardens, cozy room, missed breakfast options.

Check your email for access codes before arrival, as the contactless check-in can be confusing, especially if traveling without mobile data.

Spoiler alert, it’s worth it!

A hidden gem with character! The charming Deluxe Queen Room welcomed me with a cozy fireplace, lovely decor, and a private terrace. Close to State Street and delightful outdoor gardens made mornings perfect. Plus, a thoughtful bottle of wine added a special touch to my stay. Can't wait to return!

Charming garden area perfect for morning coffee.

I struggled with contactless check-in, as there was no interaction with staff. The room felt stuffy and hot upon arrival, and the wall AC unit barely provided relief. Additionally, the bathroom was cramped, making it uncomfortable for two people. It felt a bit isolating without having staff around or other guests to chat with during our two-night stay.

Beautifully appointed rooms with charming decor.

During my stay, I encountered several issues that dampened my experience. The contactless check-in process left me feeling disconnected, as I never saw any staff or other guests. My room was quite small for two people, and the lack of any breakfast options was disappointing, leaving me to seek out food nearby. It felt like I was in an isolated Airbnb rather than a welcoming inn.

the whole contactless experience was beyond odd, I felt like I was in a ghost hotel. and no one even greeted me upon arrival, how rudely awkward. I was certain I would at least receive a special welcome gift for choosing this charming inn, but alas, nothing. absoluteley disappointing, I almost thought about giving a good review but just couldn’t.

The Deluxe Queen Room had such a charming decor, it made our stay feel cozy and inviting. I loved the delightful garden area, perfect for sipping morning coffee. Plus, parking was super convenient, right close to the property!

Be Prepared for a Unique Experience!

I had a unique experience with contactless check-in and the charm of the décor was delightful. I recommend confirming access codes ahead of your arrival to avoid confusion. The location, while a bit further from attractions, offers a peaceful stay. Consider exploring alternative transport options!

Beautiful gardens and relaxing outdoor dining, but Wi-Fi was spotty during our stay.

this place is super beautifull with gorgeous grounds and a cozy vibe. loved the garden area, perfect for chillin with a morning coffee. the host was really attentive and made everything so easy with contactless check-in. my room was so comfy with a private terrace, and that little bottle of wine was a nice touch. the location was great too, easy walk to downtown.
