9.6/10 Exceptional! (481 reviews)
Location was perfect. Parking a little tight. Room was clean. Bed was a little soft for my liking and the shower was clean but low on water pressure. TV remote needed new batteries too. Appreciated the easy check in after hours and the open key app.

The pool is nice but very crowded, you can also get drinks up there but they had only one, very overwhelmed, bartender working. The rooms are always lovely and quirky, but the walls must be paper thin, as we could hear EVERYTHING from the room above us. Staff was welcoming and helpful.
