Wow, this hotel was a very unique experience. Love the cool décor!! There was no Tv in the room, but so much to do in the hotel property, you didn't really miss it.

Thank you for the review. We do not offer TV's in the room but, like you said, there are so many activities to do on property the TV would probably go unused.

Location is great for a quick getaway during the week. Not my favorite soaking pool, neighbors have access til 8 pm which means lots of young children in the pool.

Thank you for the review. We are glad you were able to get away for a bit and join us for some fun. Our soaking pool is open to the public, and we are family friendly. However, public children are only allowed in the pool until 6pm. We do not restrict hotel guest's children, they are allowed in 8am-11pm.

Second stay.

Cons: Outside noise
Room comfortable, charming. Noisy from constant flux in parking lot right outside my window, as well as floor above. Food was excellent . Wait staff over whelmed so service was slow. I didn't think the price of the room was commensurate with the facilities.
