Frommer's "This B&B...has friendly perks for the business traveler as well as upscale amenities. ... Rooms vary quite a bit in size and layout." Full review
Lonely Planet "The wraparound porches might sag a bit, but they're a gracious place to sit a spell. Works well for guests who plan to come and go, without needing lots of personal direction." Full review
Gayot "A welcome feature is a private bath in all rooms, many with a clawfoot tub (and shower) to the delight of those who enjoy a relaxing soak at the end of the day."
Fodor's "A charming bastion of historic hospitality sits just off UT campus, amid the otherwise lackluster surroundings of student apartments and frat houses." Full review
