Beautiful little hotel staff was super friendly very accommodating their little courtyard in the back very cute and quaint great little breakfast options room was very clean. Bathrooms were remodeled and very clean. Our only complaint would probably be some new pillows, and the bed was probably a little too soft for our liking other than that I would definitely still stay there again.

This place is so clean and beautiful. It feels like home, the moment you walk into it. The staffs are amazing. They are very friendly, welcoming and supportive. The owners took time to make this place unique and comfortable. They carefully thought of the most basic and important needs of mankind and equipped them into their hotel. You will not lack or miss anything, while you are staying here. There are books in the rooms to read, apart from the television. The beds and beddings are very comfortable. The bathroom is very clean. There is always coffee and tea at the Lobby and continental breakfast in the mornings. There is a rooftop terrace with amazing views. Above all, my stay there was awesome.
