10/10

Great adult hotel. I was traveling alone and it was perfect. There were a lot of adult couples and older family groups staying there and it is a perfect sunny retreat. My kids wouldn’t have loved the pool area, it’s for cocktails not cannonballs! I found the hallways noisy until past midnight, during the week. It’s a fun hotel - I definitely would have liked a white noise machine.

Amazing!! Location is perfect, easy walk to shops, restaurants and other historic attractions. Pool and bar are fantastic!! Bed was super comfy, room spacious and the shower has great water pressure which can be a problem in some hotels. On site coffee shop a definite plus for me as a coffee lover.
