Loved it- will be back!

We really loved the welcoming staff---our room was lovely- with lots of special touches- that were quirky and fun! The courtyard was so nice! At night the firepits were on- and even though it was quite cold--it felt nice to sit our there for a while! Really a great oasis--and near everything we wanted to do! Clean and Beautiful!

What a gem. I will be returning to this property close to everything and everyone who works here is helpful and friendly. I had a problem with HVAC noise and they moved me to another room. The TV in that room was not working so they counted my valet parking for the entire trip. The location cannot be beat.

Cute but a few quirks.

It was a cute idea, but our bedroom faced the street so it was a bit noisy. We asked for a king room, but were "upgraded" to a suite. However, it was a queen bed and we were very uncomfortable. The bathroom was spotless. The shower glass was so.clean l almost walked into it.
