My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights, then re-checked in for a 5th night at the end of our trip.
This is a boutique hotel, so it is small, and by far the smallest boutique hotel I've stayed in. I think we might have stayed in the smallest room they have. There was barely any place to put our suitcases without tripping over them. I also would have preferred a carpeted floor in our room (nicer on the feet).
The bathroom and shower were tiny. It was a stand-in shower with no place to put your shampoo bottles, razor, etc. The shower had nice water pressure. Accommodations are very basic; no amenities such as shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, etc. But I brought my own so it wasn't a big deal. The bath towels were very thin.
The lobby elevator is tiny as well -- fits one person and one bag. There is a spa at the hotel but it did not look like much. It was a small room with 2 massage rooms. I did not use the spa so I can't comment on what that was like, but you had to walk through it to get to the outside deck with a view of the city and the beach.
When we re-checked in for our last night, we were given the same room, so we did not get to see what any of the other rooms were like. Unfortunately, this time our room had a bad smell. Despite the fact that the entire hotel was non-smoking, it smelled like someone had been smoking in it. Opening the windows to air it out did not help. We asked to be moved but they said they did not have any other available rooms. We ended up asking for some air freshener, which helped. But it was not a very pleasant last night.
OK, now for the positives:
-The front desk staff is AWESOME. Very kind and willing to help with anything you need. I felt that they really got to know their guests. They gave us some good restaurant recommendations in the area. Also, the hotel does not have answering machines in the rooms, so if someone calls for you, they have to leave a message with the front desk staff. I found this odd, but kind of a nice homey touch. The staff was good about taking and giving the messages.
- The breakfast was fantastic!! The selection wasn't huge, but the food was delicious. I liked it better than all of the breakfasts at the larger hotels we stayed in.
- Great location!! Close to the beach and many restaurants are nearby as well.
- They had self-serve water, coffee and tea 'round the clock. There was a fabulous selection of loose teas,as well as tea bags. We enjoyed a nice cup of tea every evening.
Overall, it was a nice stay but I would ask for a different room next time.
