The hotel appeared to have been recently renovated. Furniture was new as were the linens. The staff was extremely helpful. The rooms all had an outdoor balcony and the views were terrific.

Hey there fellow travelers! This place is all about location location location! It is being updated nicely! Website could be more helpful, but know there IS a small fridge, but no microwave. There IS a hairdryer (helpful for most with long hair). Shampoo and body wash, make-up remover packets, Keurig and k-cups provided. No conditioner. All in all, a great home base location for all the top things in the area! Would definitely recommend and stay again!!
