We arrived late in the evening but the inn was still serving wine and cheese, then around 8 pm offered milk and cookies. When we woke in the morning we were surprised when opening the shutters that there were gorgeous jacaranda trees with purple flowers surrounding our room. Beautiful! A red headed woodpecker was hopping around as well and respectfully quiet. Beautiful property and great service.

Your hotel is truly a charm. Between the cozy gardens and the exquisitely comfortable appointments, The Upham is charm itself.
