    whimsical atmosphere

    limited seating
    tight parking
    minor inconvenience

    The atmosphere feels like stepping into a whimsical storybook, with beautifully maintained grounds and a charming Victorian design. The breakfast featured delicious pastries and fresh fruit, while the staff were warm and welcoming, providing excellent tips for local exploration. Staying in the spacious March Hare room was a pleasure, with a perfect balance of comfort and elegance, although the limited seating in common areas was a slight inconvenience. Additionally, parking can be a bit tight, especially on busy evenings.

    I had an enchanting stay in the 'March Hare' room, filled with whimsical décor and charm. The complimentary wine and hors d'oeuvres in the garden created a magical evening atmosphere. The home-cooked breakfast was a delicious treat with local flavors, giving my mornings a good start!

    charming interior
    delicious breakfast
    helpful staff
    confusing check-in

    Charming vibes in a great spot!

    We had a cozy 5-night stay, and I loved the breakfast—it was fresh and tasty! Our room was filled with natural light, perfect for a chill morning. The outdoor seating was a nice touch, too! On the flip side, the check-in process was kinda confusing, and parking can be tricky if you come back late.

    gorgeous property
    fantastic breakfast
    legendary fiesta festival
    uncomfortable chairs

    We enjoyed the gorgeous property and the fantastic breakfast every morning. We explored East Beach for some fun in the sun and made it to the legendary Fiesta Festival for vibrant performances. Can't wait to return!

    However, the only downside was that the chairs in the common area were a bit uncomfortable.

    beautiful gardens
    cozy patio
    limited outlets

    I loved hanging out in the beautiful gardens and enjoyed the cozy little patio off our spacious room. It was awesome to relax by the lush greenery and sip some morning coffee. The only downside was that we wished there were more outlets available by the nightstands. 😊
