The pool was lovely and well kept. The room was very clean but the bathroom had a co anteater leak on the floor which wasn’t problem but had to be mopped up regularly. Staff all very pleasant and helpful. The kitchen supplies were ok but it needed a few more glasses and a small toaster. All in all very nice place.

The hotel is fabulous with a great history. The room was spotless, the amenities were amazing and the toto toilet was an absolute treat. The courtyard area is beautiful with a lovely, heated pool, relaxing spa and great lounge chairs with plenty of towels. We loved having a little patio off of our room. The neighborhood and location are the best. We will be back!

I don't want to leave a review because i am worried that this hotel will become overbooked and hard to get into again! Our stay was amazing - we loved our room. The cleaning staff went ABOVE and beyond when one of us was sick. I cannot say enough good things, this place was soooo cute. Thank you to all the "Montys" for making it such a lax simple stay. <3
