ザ デューク マンション(The Duke Mansion)

Beautiful property and grounds. We stayed here for Valentines and could not have been happier. The staff was wonderful and breakfast was delicious.

what a lovely stay we had at the Duke Mansion. The setting, the staff and the hotel was comfortable and enjoyable

The most important thing you should know (that we didn’t) is that hotel guests are 2nd class to any events that take place here. Period. There are only 20 rooms and they probably do not generate enough income to sustain the facility. Although room rentals are likely essential to fill out the Duke’s overall budget during nonevent times, you will feel marginalized during your stay here if an event is taking place. Apparently there are many. We were unfortunately here during an event and basically relegated to staying in our room lest experience the unwelcoming glares of party goers towards us interlopers or potential party crashers (It happened). There was no where to go downstairs anyway as everything was closed off. Kind of reminded me of having to stay in my room as a kid during my parents “for adults only” parties. We booked the facility more than a month in advance but were notified of the event only a week prior and could not economically change our plans. In hindsight we should have canceled because we were not able to enjoy the property and the Duke did nothing special for the significant disruption of our stay.

Great historical place with nice breakfast and peaceful neighborhood

The style and the decoration of the mansion is one of its own kind. We felt the history. The garden was also quite beautiful and nice for a short walk. We very much enjoyed the stay.

A great stay in a charming, historic mansion surrounded by beautiful gardens. Our room, on the third floor, had a large updated bathroom and was spacious, comfortable and quiet. Everyone there was very friendly and helpful - and the breakfast was wonderful.

Gorgeous setting and grounds. So comfortable and wonderful breakfast. Loved all the history.

I stayed here and believed the outside of the property was ascetically pleasing. The inside, the ceilings were stained, and furniture out dated/dingy. I understand nostalgia, but updates are necessary to be safe & clean. It was the baby roaches in my bathroom that confirmed my thoughts. I did get a picture. Staff however were wonderful and other guest extremely polite.

Enjoyed the beautiful gardens and grounds, the building itself is so grand and lovely. So fun to be staying in a place that normally we would be "touring"!
