Fodor's Review:

This delightful one-of-a-kind inn comprises a 1902 former church, an ornate wood-frame Victorian, and an 1830 Federal-style house clustered on a main campus. Room themes in each building nod to their respective histories -- the Painted Lady's charmingly appointed rooms, for example, are named after former inhabitants. The luxurious rooms in the Abbey, named for the six days of creation, have whirlpool tubs and gas fireplaces, and are set along a corridor overlooking the restaurant below. (If it's available, splurge on the Tuesday room -- the incredible stained-glass "compass" window will take your breath away.) The Bistro ($$-$$$$) serves dazzling, globally inspired dishes such as black grouper roasted with tamarind-yogurt sauce in a striking setting -- look up at the church's original arches and stained glass as you dine. Next door in the Victorian building, the Painted Lady restaurant ($-$$) serves innovative renditions of home-style American favorites, including a delicious baked mac-and-cheese. Pros: Great in-town location, rooms in the Abbey and the Victorian are especially bright, beautiful, and spacious. Cons: Many rooms only accessible via steep stairs, some rooms in the Federal-style house can be smallish.
