Liked the pool area because it was secluded from street. Very lovely. Easy access too. Lovely breakfast and cute eating area. Only thing is too much light coming in curtains at night. Maybe need curtains that block light. Made it hard to sleep.

My wife and I enjoyed staying here. Every person on staff that we talked to were very kind and friendly. It was our honeymoon and they left us a handwritten note, a bottle of champagne and some chocolates! The location of the hotel is great too. Freeway is super close, downtown is super close, the funk zone is super close. We really enjoyed our stay here and recommend it. It seems as though they’re starting to remodel their rooms, so that will only be even more positivity for this property.
