What Luke likes about Balch Bistro:
We stayed one night with their Dine and Dream package. We highly recommend it! The hotel is very charming and dinner was delicious. The staff is extremely nice. The bed was very comfortable. The shared bathrooms are kept very clean. This is a unique historical hotel; so, visit with the attitude of enjoying the experience. Enjoy a historic 5 stars instead of the bland, big city, perfect but somehow lacking Ritz 5 star... View all feedback.
