Very nice place

The bed was comfortable. The atmosphere was very relaxing and laid back. The entire facility was clean. I wish our room had room darkening shades since it got pretty bright despite having curtains when the sun rose

I reserved a "suite" and received a "cottage". High traffic street in front and an alley behind restaurants in back. Loud traffic all night in front and garbage pickup in back at 5:20 am. Not exactly conducive to a good night's sleep. Had to walk down the alley, across a street, and through a parking lot to get breakfast and check out. I was told at check-in that breakfast with omelettes along with a variety of other things would be available starting at 6:00 am. I went in at 6:30am and the breakfast area was barren. No food, no staff, no explanation. Will select another hotel next time.
