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.
