    A very friendly place, offering personal service: Our room was very comfortable and beautifully appointed. Hot drinks and cookies were available at any time and the breakfasts were inventive and delicious. On arrival, we were given lots of information to maximize our stay and most importantly, we were immediately able to obtain mansion house tickets from the inn, so we made the most of our all too. brief time there. The inn is situated within walking distance of many good restaurants and very close to the mansions and Ocean Drive. A great place to stay and we would definitely book an extra night if we returned. …
