Not being comfortable in large impersonal hotels, we opted for something different and Swann House delivered in spades. The house is elegant and gracious, and staffed by what must be the most helpful in town.

We spent several days at Swann House. The house is well maintained and well run. The staff is friendly and ready to offer suggestions for local restaurants and sight-seeing attractions. The rooms (we stuck our head in several) are well-appointed and, in most cases, sufficiently spacious. The public areas are pleasant and restful. There are multiple outdoor balconies and porches...
