Boutique hotel experience
I wish I had upgraded to a room by the pool! Great accommodation. Excellent round the clock care. Easy check in. Comfy bed. Great restaurant with a changing menu and relaxing pool! I loved that you could order food by the pool as well. Valet is expensive overnight but worth it.

A very positive experience from checking to check out. The only drawback is having to pay for parking on the premises.

Room was spacious and comfortable. Bed and bedding was comfortable. We did not use any of the other hotel amenities. Hotel is very pretty and in/out access to our room was great. Room view is very nice. We had a car and used street parking, which was very easy and convenient. The A/C was really loud and the air coming out of it was blowing so hard it was blowing my hair around while sitting on the bed (from the vent across the room). That was a major complaint of ours. Little touches could be improved though: shower head was terrible, the toilet paper holder was not on properly, elec socket in bathroom was improperly installed, the over the sink bathroom mirror was not practical, please name the nespresso pods (regular, decaf, what even is it?), no wascloths provided.
