While the rooms in the 2 bedroom apartment were small, the staff offered to upgrade us to a 3 bedroom for a discounted upcharge, but we opted to keep our original room. The views from the rooms are outstanding. The staff was outstanding at every point. We especially enjoyed being served dinner in the True South Restaurant by Faustine who was super friendly and accommodating. We made it a point to go back to for dessert our last night to see her. The food was excellent. The location is a convenient 10 min hotel shuttle or UBER ride to downtown shopping and restaurants. Recommend getting a room on the top floor so that you get full sun on the deck.

The hotel (1 bedroom unit) was incredible. Super clean, modern yet felt like home. Furniture incredibly comfortable as was the bed. The towels and sheets all top level too. They have a shuttle that runs you to the center of town on the hour that was never too crowded that they couldn't accomodate. The views were stunning with a large balcony with seating overlooking lake tekaipu.
