Wonderful boutique hotel!!
Amazing boutique hotel. Room was super clean and comfortable, architecture is very decadent. Would recommend!!
The accommodation was wonderful. Narell was helpful with clear instruction and Melissa went above and beyond to ensure we could get some laundry done and book us a recommended restaurant for dinner. I didn’t catch his name but we’re also very grateful to a young man who helped carry our luggage upstairs.
