We were pleasantly surprised by Maison Blanche since we got the best Groupon ever. Our room was the closest to the Lobby but since it was off -season and the hotel was almost empty, it was beautifully quiet and peaceful. The room was a good size queen with subdued decor, but had only one chair to sit on. The fridge,... More

Visited on a Travelzoo voucher, and glad we did! What a great place to stay, if only for a day. The queen room that I reserved was upgraded to a Deluxe King room number 9 to be exact. It was in back of building and very quiet, although there weren't many other people there. Sorry restaurant wasn't open yet, but... More

Absolutely wonderful experience. Peaceful and quiet this time of year (April). We went on a Living Social deal and was a great value for the price. The restaurant was cozy and romantic, and the food was superb as was the service. The lounge area was also quiet with plenty of couches to relax on and some games to entertain yourselves... More

Had a wonderful weekend at La Maison...room was very clean, king bed very comfortable (bedding superb) and staff very accomodating and friendly. Bonus for us with a restaurant week menu for our dinner on Friday night. Food was delicious and no one rushed us out (three couples for the wknd). Hotel is lovely and they were able to accomodate a... More

Had a lovely weekend at La Maison Blanche. We had a living social deal for a king room. Hotel is small but elegant. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Rooms are not big, but not too small either. The only complaint I have is there was only one chair in the room, and the beds were very high, which made... More

We visited on a Living Social Voucher. I called about a month in advance of when I hoped to have stayed but it was booked up solid - 5 weeks back. The only weekend available before the voucher expired only had 1 room available, a King Suite. The hotel offered to split the rate difference with me to accommodate our... More

The inn was lovely and the receptionist helpful, but we think that we should have been told some things before our stay. Construction was going on in the hotel from 8 am and the restaurant was closed. Also, in the off season almost NOTHING is open on Tues. Our dinner was limited to a local pizzeria if we didn't want...

We stayed at La Maison via a Travelzoo voucher for the weekend. As we only paid $269 for the weekend, our expectations were not high. Being out there off season, one has to expect that it's going to be a different level of service vs. when the place is hopping in the summer. We had a wonderful time on the... More

My husband and I have many positive things to say about La Maison Blanche and only 2 negative things. The hotel is immaculate, the design is pottery barn-esque which is my style and the king room was spacious. There is also an iniviting laundry, clean smell thoughout the hotel. The hotel staff (2 ladies) were both personable and helpful. We... More

We bought a voucher off of Living Social to stay at La Maison Blanche. They accommodated us during the weekday, in February. We loved it so much so we bought a weekend voucher to which they would NOT accommodate us unless we paid $100 upgrade fee per night even though I said we can stay any weekend for the next... More

Dear Guest, Many thanks for taking the time to write a review for your recent stay with us. We are so pleased you enjoyed yourselves so much that you wanted to return. It's unfortunate we were unable to acommodate you. The downside to our Living Social special being so popular is our inventory booked almost immediately. The upgrade fee of... More
