We LOVED this wonderful Vintners Resort and our gorgeous comfy room with a little patio looking onto the vineyards & mountains. So peaceful … and beautiful gardens around the hotel too. The staff were charming & so helpful and the food was really delicious. The music sitting on the outside restaurant patio was so beautiful too and went with the peaceful gardens & sound of fountains nearby. We were there for a wedding nearby & Vintners could not have been more perfect. I do hope there are no big changes now that it has changed hands. It is perfect the way it is .. gracious & tasteful & not too modernized in the interior decor. Thank you Vintners!!😊

Broadstreet Inn was beautiful. I stayed in the Carriage House and it was even better in person, beautifully decorated, clean and quaint. Great location. True to the claim it’s a 2 minute walk to Broad Street where there are shops, restaurants and bars. Really, really great place to stay.

The highly thematic room we had was amazing and novel, but a little less comfortable than the less thematic room we moved to, which had a great view, sunlight and great design overall. Staff were great all around, the food and drinks are great at the steak house, and the pool + hot tubs with a view are the icing on the cake.

Rooms were trendy - some funky furniture that was unnecessary considering the size of the room which were quite small. The view of the hills was lovely. Location was okay but probably wouldn't stay there again.

It's a really nice design hotel. I was highly impressed with their level of hospitality and design richness. Met with two of the staff and they were really welcoming and helpful. The room is very thoughtful despite the fact that it was quite compact. Didn't get to use their guest lounge but it looked really cozy and beautiful in Parisian style. I also loved the location since you can walk straight up (around 30 mins) to Pier 39 and you'll pass the Chinatown which is very fun to explore, too.

The room is super well designed. Clearly the interior designer knows what it takes to be a good design hotel and a good hotel all together. I enjoyed their little details and the room amenities plus what they provide for no any extra charge. The staff was super helpful and kind. The location is great. Quite a bit of a walk from the train station but there are shops along the route so you won't get bored.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this hotel. Firstly, its location is superb, offering stunning views of the sea and convenient parking. The front desk staff were incredibly attentive and professional, ensuring a swift and hassle-free check-in process. Extending my stay was a breeze, thanks to their efficient service. Moreover, the hotel boasts a stylish design that adds to its charm, and the breakfast served was delicious. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable stay.

Gorgeous boutique hotel. The first room given was by the lift and I had requested a quiet option. I was given a different room which I think was in a higher rate category. The robes are lovely and the beds heavenly.
