Quaint hotel with Great Service
We stayed at the Inn at the Opera for a week using a timeshare exchange. It is a Shell Vacation Hospitality Resort and lists itself as a Boutique Hotel. We stayed in the Ballet Suite, the smallest room on the property, and although it was small it was Very comfortable. It did not have a full kitchen, only a small sink, microwave, bar refridgerator and coffee maker, so we were unable to buy groceries and eat in. However, the Inn offered an excellent complimentary breakfast every morning with fresh fruit, baked goods, boiled eggs, cereals and breakfast breads, so we didn't need to go out for that meal, and since there was so much to do each day, we never made it back to the room before evening anyway...The staff at the Inn was wonderful; very friendly and helpful. The location worked very well for us. It is in the cultural district (ballet next door, symphony a block away, City Hall down the street, etc). It was an easy walk to the bus line that took us in any direction we wanted to go, whether we took it all the way to our destination or took it to a stop to transfer to another line or streetcar.
