We enjoyed our stay in this unique and friendly hotel. The pool was warm and perfect for a 75 degree October day. The lounge was comfortable as were the beds. The room was quite with good temperature control. There are many walkable restaurants and bars. It was about a 10 to 15 minutes Uber ride to old town and the airport and both cost less than $10. This has much more charm than your average chain hotel if you like that sort of thing! It is an old hotel that's been remodeled, so yes there are some signs of its vintage origins and overall I loved it.

Beautiful “Boutique” Style Hotel

It was amazing! Had to exit the Ramada by Wyndham to the south (scary) and came here. Felt so safe and everything was clean, comfortable and quiet. They even had robes and slippers to wear and real cups to drink out of. Local artisans make the cleansing products and they even provide a TSA approved bag to take the items in. The staff could tell I was anxious after my fiasco with the previous hotel and made feel so comfortable and safe. This place is like a boutique hotel. I will come back again!

This was not a good experience. The room wasn’t clean, there was mildew in the shower, the spa wasn’t available and the bathroom ceiling leaked. The hotel was not responsive to my messaging about the ceiling leaking. It was noisy as well.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE!

I was lied to, ripped off and to top it all off the rooms were dirty and unkept. The air conditioners didn't work the staff was rude and dishonest; they charged my card for reasons they supposedly "couldn't disclose" and told me my security deposit was released back to me when I checked out and then when I called two days later because I hadn't received it back in my account they told me they kept the security deposit and couldn't give me a straight answer as to why. This was a horrific experience by far. It's in a horrible part of town, homeless everywhere, it's noisy, the walls are paper thin, and the rooms were really gross and dirty with bugs everywhere. They are dishonest and committed fraud with my credit card and there is absolutely no where to park yet they charge you $12 a parking spot. I'm filing suit against hotel ZAZZ because of their theft in charging my card multiple times and keeping my $150 security deposit. Do yourself a favor and avoid this dump.

Horrible experience. Avoid this place at all cost.

This was an absolutely horrific experience. Not only did I I pay for the King Studio and NOT get the room I payed for but yet a downgraded room, but furthermore the staff lied to me about additional charges on my card. The room was disgustingly dirty also. There were bugs everywhere, the air-conditioner didn't work properly and the shower wasnt working properly and spewed water in all different directions. Then to top it off the staff lied to me and told me my security deposit was released back to my card and when I called two days later to find out why I didn't have it they informed me they had actually kept it for reasons they could not disclose. I am absolutely disgusted with this place. Do yourself a favor and avoid this dump at all costs.

This hotel is so cute and retro! It has been remodeled so it's not your typical run of the mill hotel. The pool area is colorful and unique. There is screens to watch movies in the pool at night and a speakeasy in the lobby. I am glad we found this place it was a gem!
