“Emerson Spice seems to transport you; I imagine spending a day here truly evokes a bygone era, especially with breakfast on the rooftop. While the air conditioning placement above the beds and the narrow double beds are old-fashioned, it is part of sleeping in a vintage bed. What stands out, however, is the genuinely kind service; the gesture of offering a room to shower and relax before a flight home speaks volumes.”
