    Liked my VERY VERY GOOD stay on holiday. Sumptuous breakfasts with juices, wine a bonus plus granola, the staff were all in all very friendly. Magnificent and lovely location near to the center and the restaurants and theaters on upper State Street, I felt safe. Also, a Spanish colonial revival courthouse was 1 km away, perfectly reachable.

    Picturesque and hospitable place with welcoming staff from check-in to check-out. Central location on the deep verandah looking out over the cool green garden. Really close to State Street where there are countless restaurants, Simpson House Inn, and downtown area.
