The Dayton room was awful, couldn't sleep for the street noise and the soft mattress. Small bathroom and over $500 a night.

Comfortable but posh common areas, big homey rooms (and only a handful of them) and a spectacular backyard garden. It's kind of like staying at a beautiful country manor in the... more
