Secret Garden Inn and Cottages

Exceptional

Not much. The pictures did not accurately show the current poor state of the property. The rooms are old and the grounds were a mess.

Breakfast is delivered to your door. Such a lovely treat

Would not recommend. I found bugs in the shower and room was lot smaller than how pictures appeared online. Also, stray cats roam property. Property overall is not in good condition

Superb

This was our second stay at the Secret Garden Inn and Cottages, and there are some pros and cons: PROS - the overall cleanliness; the comfortable touches of bed, bedding and bathroom in a relaxing atmosphere (more like a retreat) that reflects a home away from home; the hot tub is a HUGE bonus; a home cooked breakfast delivered hot is hit or miss depending what's on the menu???; private parking. CONS - the house staffing is limited without any response by phone concerning early arrival (made myself comfortable on the porch settee); the overall property needs updating (electrical in room was questionable; outdoor siding is rotting/termites/weathered; gaps in brick pathways. OVERALL - I would stay here again knowing the idiosyncrasies. The breakfast was not as exquisite as our previous stay that included fresh squeezed o.j., tropical fruit, fluffy omelettes with toast, butter and pastries.

Location to downtown and quiet residential area. Breakfast brought to the room each morning. Hot tub availability. The cottage was basically simple. Spartan. Mattress was extremely soft, felt like it had been there forever. Couldn't open drapes to let in light as the room backed up to both the alley and the parking lot, zero privacy. We were there for rest and relaxation and the alley noise and parking lot activities were irritating. The hot tub on the enclosed patio was a perk, except the water quality was cloudy, lacking maintenance attention. The breakfast brought to the room was a perk, but the menu was exactly the same two mornings in a row. One needed to really enjoy spinach quiche twice. One morning the croissants didn't come with butter or jam. The second morning they did, again uneven attention to details. The plush bathrobes offered were quite damp upon our arrival. They were replaced with dry ones, but again...uncertain if the damp ones were clean but not yet dry, OR the damp ones hadn't yet been replaced from prior renter. Again, lack of attention to details. The wifi signal was intermittent and weak due to our room being the farthest away from the router in the main house, making wifi unusable in our room. For over $400 a night paid, the general run- down quality of the rental left a bad taste. I've rented this Bed & Breakfast 3 times in the past without any unpleasant experiences. I expected more from our 4th stay.

The service N/a

Unclean room, unsafe, overpriced, not as advertised, terrible staff, do not recommend.

Charming place that feels like a different world. Great continental breakfast in your room and a very lovely owner / host

The breakfast was delicious. The owner, Dominque, is a french chef.

I wish I could give the Secret Garden Inn and Cottages a perfect 5-stars but check-in was a disaster. Check-in was to start at 3 pm, but when my wife and I got there just before 3 pm, no one was there to check us in until 3:20 pm. Then we discovered our room at the Inn was different than what we had reserved. The room itself was ok, just a bed, dresser and two chairs, pus bath. The breakfast was excellent, home-made quiches and croissants with jam, OJ, coffee, melon. So mixed review.

It was a lovely stay. Mrs Dominque is so kind and we had an amazing weekend! Walkable neighborhood
