Lovely hotel

My group of 6 loved the hotel, the staff and the location. The only thing I would change is where our rooms were... it's a U shape and we were at the far end of the U with the only exit back to the front at the beginning of the U. There is a door to the pool, but it stays locked. Would be awesome if there was a key reader so you can at least exit that way.

Disliked: Amenities

Our room backed up to a dj booth that played from noon-10pm. We had a window but it was covered on the outside with a privacy screen so no natural light at all. No coffee in the room, but coffee was supposed to be availible for sale in the lobby. Woke up on Sunday got dressed to go buy coffee, but the desk was closed until the next day.

Wished the weather was better so we could’ve enjoyed the gorgeous outdoor space. The room was beautiful and the coffee shop was a great perk. Will definitely return in the future!

Beautiful boutique hotel

Beautiful hotel with great staff, everyone was warm and welcoming. Had a room on the fourth floor which you have to take a second elevator which is quite a walk around the 2nd and 3rd floor, it was a pain taking all our luggage up there. Rooms have no microwave or coffee pot, the frozen iced coffee in the coffee counter is delicious though. The daily amenity fee is $40 and valet parking is about $59 which is an extra $100 a day if you think about it on top of your daily rate. I would consider staying again but not on the fourth floor.

Great location, friendly staff. Lacking in some basic amenities ie, most hotels offer a refrigerator in the room and coffee pot. These were not offered. I tend to be an early bird, coffee shop didn’t open until 7 am. Parking is also $53.00 night. Probably will not stay there again.

For the price, look elsewhere

This hotel was pretty run down and bordering on 2.5 stars as opposed to 3. The halls smell terrible, our room had missing items (was supposed to have a steamer/iron and had neither), the toilet paper holder fell off the wall, etc. This is overpriced and targeting an "instagram audience"- i wouldn't stay here again.

We liked getting a $10 discount per day at the coffee shop for food and, or beverages. It allowed for quick breakfast or an afternoon coffee if we didn't use the discount that morning. We enjoyed the Little Palm cafe/bar that served the pool and great courtyard bar as well. The thoughful glasses and carafe for filtered water along with ice was also a nice touch in the rooms.
