    Some of the pricing is inaccurate. We just booked a room at Petigru Place and we’re being charged $263 for one night! Yikes! While I’m sure it’s a nice place, just be sure you really know the price! Why are we choosing this place? We were gifted a gift certificate.

    • Erica says:

      The pricing was based off of their advertised rates at the time. Thanks for letting us know though!!!

    • According to their website the Chantily room is currently price at $140-$155, so the article would be correct that prices start at $140. Of course, depending on season, availability, and the room the price is likely be much higher.
