Disliked: Amenities
Considering the hefty premium rates this hotel did not meet expectations and was just ok. Nice to have an EV charger though. Breakfast was very uninspired and bland, hotel could use some upgrades and updates.
This hotel was exactly what we wanted and needed - easily walkable to Duval street - beautiful garden and pool area. We stayed in the eyebrow cottage and it was fantastic
