The room was clean and roomy. Staff was professional and courteous. We were disappointed that the restaurant was closed on Monday with no notification, we chose this hotel based on the ease of an onsite restaurant. Also the menu at the restaurant was very minimal. We were not offered our VIP benefits that came with our reservation which was disappointing as well. The entrance to the Hotel was a bit difficult to locate due to all of the greenery growing on the front, we drove past it twice. Again I will stress the cleanliness which was EXCELLENT!

Tres joli hitel bien rénové. Le patio est tres beau et bien arrangé. Il est difficile de croire que l'on se trouve sur une grosse avenue. La chambre est spacieuse et tres propre.

The most perfectly unique hotel!

Such a fantastic hotel! We stayed for 4 days and fell in love with the place. The unique style was exactly what I was looking for to make our stay fun. The courtyard was the cutest! So nice to sit out there and enjoy the ambience. Even the restaurant was so cozy and the staff was so friendly! The bed was a bit too firm, but that's just my personal preference. The location was primo, too; close to do many great places all in short walking distance. Overall we LOVED our stay and absolutely will stay again in the future!
