The hotel is really decorated nicely. I love the tiles in the bathroom, the beautiful bar and outside patio with fountain. The staff was friendly and accommodating Shout out to Summer who took the time to show us to our room and point out the amenities. My only suggestion is to replace the mattress. It was not firm.

See you again!

My one small tiff was that the patio lights do not turn off. Blackout curtains did most of the trick but if your sensitive bring a sleep mask and all is fine. Comfy stay, cute rooms and great staff. See you again!
