Only one issue with the property. The shower door leaked. So I always had pudding on the floor after a shower. The great, the staff was friendly. The room is comfortable and quiet. The restaurant has great food. A great coffee and donut place is within walking distance. The Farmers Market offers a wide variety of cuisine to eat. A great Thai place is also in walking distance.

Excellent staff, they’re all very friendly and helpful. Room was good, some minor plumbing issues but nothing substantially major to cause any problems during my stay. Bed is on the harder side if that’s something you’re interested in or concerned about. Overall, a convenient and comfortable stay for a week.

Unique and stylish hotel near Farmer’s Market. The patio is lovely, the rooms nicely decorated, even though for four people a little bit on the small side. The pool has good depth, but is also on the smaller side. The staff is absolutely lovely and accomodating.

A glorified motel

Really not very special and definitely overpriced. It’s absolutely not that there is anything wrong with it, so it’s definitely a safe choice. Just that nothing at all stood out either.

Our room was super clean and decorated beautifully. The cleaning staff checked on us twice during our stay, just to make sure we weren’t missing anything, as we didn’t want cleaning every day. Front desk staff was cordial, and the courtyard restaurant was nice. The area the hotel is in is quite busy, and it’s close to the farmer’s market, The Grove, and a Trader Joe’s (good for cheap water and snacks when heading out for the day). Unfortunately, the area is a bit scruffy and the hotel was noisy at night due to the restaurant in the courtyard as well as traffic. I’d stay at this hotel again, as the price was good and cleanliness is important to us.
