Stay Here for an Experience You’ll Truly Enjoy!
Pros:

Staying at Anderson School is like staying in an historic hotel set in a gorgeous garden. The room was immaculate, the food in all of the on site restaurants was delicious, and everyone on the staff was friendly and efficient. Eating on the patio was a special treat and there’s entertainment some evenings. 5 star in every way.

Can't wait to return
Pros:

I loved our room, it was on the street
side, but still quiet . We brought our dog, and they had both a dog bowl and doggie bags ready. We're BedHeads and this has been our favorite stay. Thank you to all the staff!

interesting property with many options
Pros:

Restaurant had limited choices for dinner but choices were adequate. Breakfast , while room service ,could have been served warmer. Portion sizes for both meals were appropriate.

Cons:

Stairs were a bit much for older travelers . an elevator is available but location was not convenient due to room location
