"The rooms are pretty in a modest sort of way, with floral wallpaper and old-fashioned furnishings, and the welcome is homely and sincere."
Fodor's "Distributed among a trio of three-story buildings, Madame Le Floch's rooms have a distinct grandmotherly vibe with flowery wallpaper and lace bedspreads." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This hotel is a cluster of three small houses around a beautiful garden, where you can breakfast in good weather."
BlackBook "Former boarding hourse with three stucco-fronted 19th century buildings and a carriage door that opens onto a long flower-lined driveway."
