We will stay here again

Pros: The staff made this place great
Cons: When the pool and courtyard are open, I would expect to see a really nice space.
Location: Location, location, location.
What a great hotel. What great staff. Intimate, boutique hotel experience as one would expect. The only reason I gave a less than perfect rating is that the pool and outdoor public space was closed for remodeling. The guests after us will get to experience that space. I would list by name every person from the hotel as everyone of them were great, but out of respect for privacy I'll refrain from publishing them.
