This was literally the worst hotel. No way was it boutique. It was filthy, the mattress was about 2” thick, the tv’s came on at random. I was told it was because of poor reception. The “private balcony “ was non existent. Just a long balcony separated by chains. The bathroom and common areas were filthy. I went to my room and immediately left. The property refused to return my money. Strongly do not recommend!
