"We love the Rio Vista Suites. Great location and a cute house with very interesting rooms. Unfortunately we stayed in room number 6 this time. It was so tiny that you felt like you were sleeping in a closet. You step out of the shower and you are in the sleeping area. It is a very funky layout but I do admire what they were able to do with this tiny space. The best thing about the room was the view. "
