"I stayed in the 2 bedroom apartment and had a wonderful time with my daughter. The place is beautiful, just like the pics. I loved the balcony (even though I didn’t enjoy it because we were always out, it was nice to have). The location was perfect. You can walk to historic district, local market, the park. The best part was having a washer/dryer. I love being able to come home with clean clothes."

Santa Lucia House - Forum

8/10 Good
"Staff are Great, lovely Hotel. Shower was problematic, as soon is it is hot; it’s too hot. So one adjusts it to colder, then too cold, and could not regulate the temperature. Constantly going back and forth; ruining the morning shower experience. It was the same last year as well."
