Sehome Garden Inn

10/10 Excellent

"What a lovely surprise this place was. A true gem of a place to stay. From the moment I arrived it was warm and welcoming. The room is nicely set up in a way the feels completely separate from the rest of the inn. But still connected to get to enjoy the friendly pups relaxing in the house. The breakfast was better than any hotel breakfast I could have asked for. Every moment is well thought out and executed. I will be returning and hope that more people discover this gem, but not too many, because it will be my go to place when I am in town visiting my son at college."
