Shafer Baillie Mansion Bed & Breakfast ReviewBe sure to bring your top hat and tails if you plan to stay at this 1914 Tudor-revival mansion a block from Volunteer Park. You'll feel like puttin' on the Ritz as soon as you step through the front door and find yourself surrounded by mahogany paneling, stained-glass windows, and antique furnishings. Set on what was once known as Millionaire's Row, this mansion envelops guests in the luxurious lifestyles of the rich and famous, circa 1920. There's a huge entrance hall, a dark-and-masculine library, a lovely light-filled sunroom, and, of course formal dining and living rooms. Up the wide, curving staircase, you'll find large guestrooms with antique beds, including a few four-posters. Some rooms have refinished original bathtubs, while others have modern showers. For the ultimate shower, opt for the master suite, which has the original 450-jet "ribcage shower."

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
