Our host Maia was very friendly and helpful with directions and advice on attractions and dinner suggestions. The Inn was immaculate and our room was very spacious, clean... More

The meticulous attention to detail in the renovation of this historic brownstone is evident in every corner. It is lovely without being over done. We stayed in the master suite... More

My husband and I have traveled l over the world from Paris to Bangkok to Sydney, and I dare say this was our favorite place we have stayed. We stayed in the smallest room on the property, but it was romantic and cozy. Location is beautiful with the whole city at your fingertips. Hosts were very friendly, knowledgable and helpful....

My girlfriend and I were looking for a romantic place to get away from day to day life. We choose the Clarendon Square B&B and couldn't have been happier about that choice. The warm and hospitable service we received right from the start of our getaway was exceptional. The entrance way was equipped with complimentary espresso and warm cookies. The... More

We visited Clarendon Square from 10th to 14th February, straight after what was definitely the most impressive blizzard we have ever seen. Before our arrival we spoke to Stephen (the owner) about our concerns that we may not arrive on time or even the right day and he was incredibly helpful, informing us that our room would be ready whenever...

My Fiance' and I just stayed at this place and we were very impressed. I never review places, but felt like this place deserves recognition. First, it had a very cool design on the inside and when I think of "bed and breakfast" places I think of them being a little ghetto. This place blew me away with its style,... More
