Beautiful boutique hotel with top notch service, comfortable well appointed rooms and excellent morning breakfast. We had to leave early one morning for a college visit and the staff had our breakfast ready by 6:30 am with our car waiting for us right outside the door. Another day, we headed to the beach and the staff put together beach gear for us that included towels, chairs and an umbrella. We loved the cereal area of the hotel as well. So much within a short walk.

The hotel was clean. The room was spacious. We had a room with two double beds. The bathroom is nice, spa like with heated towels. The location was excellent by as it was in walking distance of notable restaurants, the marketplace and many other attractions. The only thing to note is that the hotel has a bar but no restaurant. Breakfast is delivered to the room each morning. You have to go out for lunch and dinner. The staff was very accommodating.
