It is very artsy, but the staff were extremely nice. The room was clean, but the bed was very noisy every time I rolled over. It's a quaint place.

8.4/10 Very Good! (1,008 reviews)
Rooms are very dated. Stains on the carpet, shower head had calcium deposits all over it and wasn’t sealed to the wall tile. The tub drain in the shower was very slow to drain the water. The main pool is not relaxing on the weekends (overcrowded) and there isn’t enough seating available for the amount of guests present. On a positive note, the staff was very nice, professionally, and the restaurant was great!
