We loved the hotel! The room was nice, though we saw some with better views, it was quiet, the courtyard was very nice for relaxing, the pool was tiny but actually worked out fine. They also have a hot tub next to the pool which is on the roof top. The location was perfect! It’s a fun, walkable City with lots of great food options! The staff were very nice and extremely attentive.

Excellent location; walkable to everything imaginable. The staff at the Patio restaurant were great. The character of the hotel was quaint and aligned with its boutique nature. If you want to avoid the commercial nature of big chain hotels, this is a good one.
