To glowrock: Yes, the rooms at the Clarendon were very comfortable, especially the beds, with an update, contemporary, sophisticated style. I really liked the pool in the courtyard and the rooftop patio was a nice space. Some of the staff were very friendly, others were quite rude. The person checking us in failed to tell us there was a fee to park in the their parking lot rather than on the street which is actually closer. And I'd avoid the bar. But, I think it's everything you'd expect from a boutique hotel.

To Buckeye Native: I took the shot from the freeway out the window of the car. We were traveling on hwy 10 west and taking the ramp to get on hwy 17 north.
Thanks for the info on the Clarendon, stepper77...
