Staff was very nice and friendly. The hotel is so pretty. In a great area within a walking distance to everywhere. The only issue is you can hear everything in the room, next to us there was two drunk girls screaming until 4am. Was kind of hard to rest, other than that, really pretty hotel.

This hotel was excellent! Grounds are clean and nicely decorated, and the room was always kept clean and was very spacious. The service was my favorite part, everyone was so kind and genuinely helpful and it felt like they cared about my stay. That always goes a long way. The pool and rooftops were great amenities.
