Frommer's "This boutique hotel might come off as corny if it were less skillfully done; instead, it’s charming and fun. The rooms have braided rugs, cowhide director’s chairs, and full-size SMEG refrigerators." Full review

If you can’t afford to stay here, drop by the lobby bar for a mid-afternoon whiskey sour.
