Great couples getaway on the water

The charm of Gardiner House is surely a draw, and there is something special about a hotel that offers even small amenities like water bottles or turndown service or daily cleaning of the room--these are lost luxuries for most hotels today! The room was clean and staff was so friendly. The location was fabulous, and the bar was gorgeous.

Beautiful upscale property. Parking was fairly easy once you find the correct street. Staff was not real friendly and helpful on getting you to that street. Be aware of a strict dress code and bring appropriate clothing or you will not be able to use the facilities at the hotel
