Guest Reviews

HHI is absolute perfection. The decor, location, and amenities far exceeded our expectations. The staff continually went above and beyond to anticipate and meet our needs. They set the bar incredibly high for any future bed and breakfasts we might visit!

We stayed her 2 nights in the Verandah suite. Very clean and cozy. Fireplace and super nice bath with rain shower and steam! Wine an cheese and super delicious breakfast both mornings. Kim was a gracious hostess and took good care of all the guest.

- Billy Hadley

Hydrangea House is perfectly positioned for easy walking to both the waterfront and mansions. Plus, a stop for the free trolley bus is nearby. Service was wonderful and personable, and breakfasts and happy hours were excellent. We stayed in the garden room which was lovely. Plentiful free parking was an extra bonus.

I can't say enough about this lovely bed and breakfast. I just finished staying here for 4 nights. The inn and landscaping are quaint and beautiful. The staff were the friendliest I've ever experienced. The breakfasts are fabulous and you are served a lot of food! The chocolate chip cookies every night were such a treat. Last, the location was perfect. Close to everything but away from the noise...See More

We loved our stay here in July! The room was clean and spacious. Service was incredible and I still think about the delicious breakfast we had every morning! Easy walking distance from everything and access to public transportation. Would definitely recommend staying here!!
