The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the shower pressure was perfect. The staff were nice/welcoming and even accommodated early check in with no issue. The location is great and close to everything. This place is super cute and modernized. It felt more like a little apartment vs a hotel. It did not feel like a motel at all.

Hotel has been updated, but not well. The walls are thin, very noisy, door had a gap at bottom so light and noise from outside courtyard kept us awake. Breakfast was very simple and overall disappointed given the price we paid. One positive was nice staff.
