"Very cute boutique hotel. Our room was inside through the lobby. Nice bedding, towels, big glass shower with rain shower head as well as a wand hand held shower. Great pressure. It's a small room, but great for the one night we were there. Front counter evening staff was very helpful and super friendly. Would definitely stay here again."
