"A Peak, Pleasant & Perfect Experience!"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
The Bards Inn was tops from the moment we were welcomed by Louie to the clean perfectly appointed room. The view was spectacular! It is within walking distance to restaurants, shops and Lithia Park. Breakfast was amazingly satisfying in pleasant surroundings and the housekeeping service was perfect. The pool was cool (November) and the hot tub hot. The price was fair.
