Quaint Hotel
The hotel is very cute. I was nervous after reading a couple of bad reviews, but I would highly recommend this boutique hotel. I only have two recommendations. One is to request a room facing the pool. The street side is a little bit loud. The second would be not to prepay for breakfast at a cost of $60. We would have spent less just paying out of pocket. Otherwise the hotel is beautifully appointed and was prefect for our needs. The rooms are spacious and comfortable.

The room was incredibly loud on the first floor, you could hear everything guests were doing above you. The vent for the heater is right next to the bedroom and quite loud as well. The Hot tub was beyond disgusting, a smell of feet was coming off of it and it had a foamy green hue, our swimsuits needed to be thrown away after due to the scent. Our toilet also had brown water from some water line issues they had and it wouldn't clear for the whole first day we were there. This place has a great marketing team, it looks like a resort on the website and when you show up you realize you have been scammed.

It was alright for the price!
Staff was very friendly and welcoming. The hotel is new and rooms are very spacious with easy access for parking. Unfortunately the wifi didn’t work the entire stay and the rooms are not insulated well, walls are super thin (you hear people moving around above you easily which made it hard to sleep).
