Wonderful boutique hotel! People were friendly and very helpful. My only (minor) peeve would be the glass door on the bathroom. What brilliant decorator decided folks want to observe another‘s morning toilet? Other than that, we had a lovely stay and recommend it!

The first night was fantastic. Happy front desk that made us feel so welcome, clean hotel, modern rooms. A storm knocked out the power the second night which was a bummer but the hotel did not charge us for the nights stay. I will definitely stay here again.

We stayed here with a group of friends for our joint bachelor/ette party. The hotel was beautiful and the staff were friendly. They were quick to address an issue we had with our air-conditioning and the room was very comfortable. Several of our friends commented about how nice the hotel was. Would definitely stay again!
