This small but very nice boutique spot will make you will like you’re on a tropical vacay to old Key West. They have a small pool that you can lounge in, (Comfortable for 4 people). The continental breakfast was a step above with multiple healthy things to choose from. Coffee is always available in the lobby. Uber and Lyft to the main strip was around $5. I highly recommend and will be back!
