I booked last minute as I was just passing through and needed a night. The staff is so helpful, specifically Calvin. What a gem. The room was very clean and well appointed, and the ambiance and decor are so relaxing. I felt very safe in the property with rooms located inside a beautiful courtyard. Parking was next door in a lot and very convenient. Will definitely stay here again.

Calvin cheerfully greeted us. The location was great for attending a concert at Kuumbwa Jazz Center. The rooms were very clean and quiet. One down side was no breakfast; but the cookies in the evening were yummy!
