Oh my gosh, what a dream to stay here! We came to celebrate our anniversary and I'm so glad we picked the Bonham. A 5-star hotel full of history, beautiful, ornate furniture, super comfortable beds, wonderful staff and a breakfast I'll be dreaming about for ages. It felt like such a treat and I would book it again in a heartbeat.

None of the food is what I expected. All the same, breakfast was delicious.

We liked everything about this hotel. Location is perfect, in a quieter attractive neighborhood, but easily walkable to restaurants, old town, etc. Very nicely appointed room, with an awesome bathroom.
