Kompose Boutique Hotel
This was a very nice hotel, the staff was exceptional. The only reason I didn’t give a 5 star rating is there is no coffee maker in the rooms. I had never stayed at a hotel that didn’t have coffee in my room. I went down to the lobby and had to pay $3.11 for a tiny cup of coffee.
