Easy check in and check out, Staff was very friendly. Room was clean and comfy, not a large room, but still ample space for our things and comfort. Also very conveniently located as our destination was within walking distance only a block away as were several bars and restaurants!

There was some sweeping under the beds that needed done byt other than that the room was clean and maid service was on top of things. When we needed ice we got ice. They told us about a party in the terrace that was going on that saturday if our stay. Everyone was super friendly.

Cute little place in a great location. Definitely not a place you wanna stay if you're looking for a space.

It was a ok stay. I was a little blind sighted by the $250 insurance payment I had to pay at check in. I thought that payment would be refunded once they saw that the room was not damaged, but I received nothing back. The rooms are a bit small but comfortable enough for the family to sleep in. If the insurance had been explained better i would give a better review
