Quaint, Mediterranean feel to this hotel with its spread-out rooms and tiny spaces, but everything very clean and charming tile in the minuscule bathroom. Front desk staff helped with bags up steep outdoor steps to our room.

Great location, quiet hotel with lovely courtyard areas. Very private room! It would have been nice to have the soaps/lotion refilled to the top before we stayed in the room, but that was such a minor detail! Would stay again.

6/10 Good

The location is great, and the staff and overall cleanliness of the hotel is good. However, the rooms are a bit outdated and could benefit from some upgrades. We went in late Nov. and the heaters didn't work, the windows didnt open and bedding was outdated.

Another excellent stay at our favorite hotel. Benjamin was the perfect host and helped us with our room and parking pass. We always ask for the same room, as it was the first one we occupied, and is perfect for our needs. We were glad to have such a welcoming host and have already made another reservation.
