The Porches

Frommer's Review

"Retro-rural chic" might describe this row of six detached 19th-century workingmen's houses stitched together by an uninterrupted streetside veranda, the spaces in between roofed over and fitted with indoor catwalks and patios. Rooms are witty tributes to the past, with kitschy lamps and paint-by-numbers pictures on the walls, but are also equipped with DVD players and high-speed Internet access. A computer is provided for guests' use, and laptop rentals are available. Down duvets, bathrobes, and cushy sofas make things even cozier. Ask for one of the second-floor king rooms with balcony. Coffee, croissant, and a newspaper in a rocking chair out on the porch on a warm autumn morning: a singular pleasure for guests. Evening cocktails are available at the front desk.

Facilities:
Heated outdoor pool; Jacuzzi; sauna; in-room massage; laundry service (Mon-Fri); free DVD library
