Our stay was fine for one night but I probably wouldn’t recommend it for longer. The room was very clean, but very small and my family of four were quite on top of one another. The view was beautiful though and the staff very friendly and helpful. It is quite conveniently located and worked well for our visit to the botanical gardens. In addition to the size being an issue, the room could use some TLC overall - cracks/missing grout, old fixtures and a general feeling of needing some updates. As I said though, very clean and friendly!!!
