EXCELLENT Boutique Hotel Experience!

convenient location helpful staff cozy room rooftop breakfast

I found the location convenient, VERY close to major attractions. The staff offered helpful advice and plenty of ideas for exploring. The room was cozy, it had a great shower (i LOVED it). The hotel partners with a nearby hotel for breakfast on a rooftop offering views.

The rooms are quite small. this didn't significantly impact my experience.
