Very Retro, think 1960’s, complete with burnt orange and avocado green decor. Pleasantly surprised! Comfortable suite. Great outdoor spaces with retro pool, putt putt, grilling area, etc. Very walkable to restaurants and shops. Highly recommend!

We always get a room for the BBQ festival. It is very convenient to walk down to see the live music and have a few drinks and then walk back to your hotel.
