Our room was spotless, the beds comfortably, the staff kind and gracious. The location was perfect for us. Short walk to the local bars and restaurants.

6/10 Good

I want to love this hotel. Service/Staff was great. No complaints. However, room — especially bathroom — is sterile. Room smelled stale too. Love the pool, bar, and common areas but they are often empty and lack a vibe to make spaces more welcoming.
