What a beautiful little gem in the middle of the city. The rooms were very clean and spacious, and the beds were incredible. The pool was also gorgeous. We ate at the onsite restaurant, and the service was spectacular. The food was good but not the best I've had. Shampoo, etc. in the shower would have been a plus but that is the only drawback for me! Great place and a great price.

Would've rated higher except room was nowhere as nice as they show in photos. And since we were checking in late, I'd requested and received confirmation of extra towels in our room. There were none. Apart from these two issues, we had a restful stay.
