Such a unique stay, that is perfectly decorated and clean . It is also a very walkable place , many nearby places to eat and enjoy yourself. The pool was
spectacular and not to mention the restaurant on the property, one of the best meals I’ve had.
The style and decor of this hotel was amazing. Definitely a boutique hotel feel which I wasn’t expecting. The dining and drinking options connected to the property were eclectic and very enjoyable. I will certainly book here again when in the area.
This place is so cool. The train carts are the best!
