Lack luster
The phone and the clock/radio in the room didn’t work. They did not bring up the mini fridge and coffee maker as asked and promised at check in. The pool was very chlorinated and gross. I booked it for the pool.

Great place to stay
This hotel was cozy and in a great location. It was a short walk to restaurants and stores. It was a safe location. I loved the art and decor of the place. Our room was cute with floral carpet and had the coziest bed. Very modern and comfortable!
