The Brackenridge House is a charming gem in a beautiful neighborhood with hosts that make you feel right at home. The rooms are equipped with all the amenities you could want, including thoughtful touches like a small bottle of sherry for a bedtime drink. The dining experience is spectacular, offering delicious meals in a friendly atmosphere. However, the rooms are of moderate size with a tiny TV, and the price may be a bit high for some.
