The hotel is so elegant and private in every respect. The rooms are so lovely, calming and so relaxing. Our balcony was overlooking the garden and Il Fornaio restaurant, but the room was quiet. Even had an event going on when we arrived after dinner which was loud, but once in our room, it was very quiet.

On weekends it's easy to do street parking overnight. Great location for walking around university street. The room was beautifully decorated, great black out curtains and staff was always friendly and professional. Try and book when the $279 rate is available.

I stayed Fri to Sun on Labor Day weekend. Both mornings at 8.40am the housekeeping staff knocked to clean my room. I think that's a bit too early to be asking to have your room cleaned. If I wasn't already awake, I would have been annoyed.
Beautiful hotel, fantastic staff, excellent housekeeping.
