Our stay at the Upham was fantastic. We came for Valentine’s Day weekend, the room was extremely spacious, and the property felt like a true getaway, beautiful garden to walk through, free parking. Very walkable to other restaurants. Would highly recommend, especially for couples. I will add that it is also connected to a great bistro that had an amazing happy hour with great staff.
