We had an amazing time here! We are two young girls and felt so well-tanen care of in this inn. It was clean, new and well-situated. We didn’t have a car and could walk or take a 5 min uber to everywhere we wanted to go. Honeslty so happy about this. 10/10

This place was great for one night. It was close to the airport, clean, self-checking was very easy. The hotel is unique and very pretty. The only thing I would recommend is better pillows and extra bedding.

First of all the bathrooms aren’t attached to the rooms. You have to walk across the hallway to get to the bathroom. The room smells like a wet dog and sheets linty and soil. The staff is super young and immature. They were yelling and screaming laughing and singing songs. I had to beg them to be quiet. This place is onerprived. Stay ANYWHERE else but here. You will thank me later!

Very good for $ stay! Cute, clean rooms in a nice set up with a shared kitchen/lounge space. Neighbourhood was close to quite a few restaurants. We were provided with both bath and beach towels as well as earplugs (the windows are not soundproof from outside). My only suggestion would be for better pillows. Communication for check in/out was all by phone/email but instructions were clear and we had no issues. Would do a short term stay here again!

The location and rooms were clean and great! The cleaning staff was very helpful upon my arrival - I was charged $20 to check-in 30 min early which was lame but it was so hot out and needed to get into AC - wouldve appreciated a little hospitality on that but other than that loved the shared fridge space so easy breakfast - can't beat the location!

This property was so cute! It was located in a convenient area of the neighborhood too. It was relatively quiet, and when you walk down the block, you stumble upon the main street—filled with restaurants! My stay was for three nights and it was perfect! The staff was very accommodating and always fulfilled our requests.
