Hotel had a great vibe. Grounds were nice with native plants and lots of hummingbirds. Pool and fire-pit area were nice to relax in. Brew pub/bar had a nice atmosphere. Complimentary beer at check in was a nice surprise. You could walk to the botanical gardens across the street- which was also great.

Jesica at the front desk, checked us in and made us feel right at home. If not management, she should be, she was that good. The property had a Taproom next to check-in and a pool and lounge area just outside. We enjoyed our stay here.

Disappointed in the condition of the pool (it was filled with leaves and dead bugs that I had to remove myself with their skimming tool), but the room was clean and comfortable.

A tight room and not a lot of wiggle room, very small bathroom. The courtyard is amazing, the rooms are very secured. Close to Old Town but otherwise not the greatest neighborhood. We still felt safe walking around and comfortable in the courtyard at night. Although a tight room, the bed was very comfortable and except for the crazy traffic going by the rooms were quiet.

This was my second stay here. Everything was great as before, except for a smell in the room. I was given a room around 2PM. Another guest that checked in around 6PM brought up getting a headache from the smell. I brought up the same concern to the night staff. The other patron was moved to a new room and I was told there wasn't another room available for me. I spent the next 5 days recovering from a headache.

Ok, but.

Good basic model, with a couple of nice amenities; pool and weekend live music. Also a couple of good eating venues on the property. Serious problems with their electronic for keys. Had to go to the office to recharge our kets 14 times over our three day stay. Very aggravating.
