Hotel de estilo en una buena ubicación
Pros:

Ubicación.

Cons:

La bañera. Por más que sé que es de estilo, las cortinas en toda la circunferencia de la bañera hacía que la ducha fuese incómoda y pequeña. Ni hablar el ingreso a la misma para la gente mayor.

Great location and very quaint and beautiful inn.
Pros:

Location was perfect, room was pretty and very clean, it was a quiet area and we enjoyed the special moments for guests (pralines, wine/cheese).

Cons:

The valets and those that hosted the wine/cheese hour were very friendly. The front desk staff was not very friendly when we went by the lobby during our stay. They barely looked up from their computer to say hello. A smile can go a long way. There was one front desk staff, however, that was very friendly even at 5:30 am when we left for our flight on Friday. I don't remember her name, but she was very helpful and had a bright personality.

Pros:

The location was exceptional!
The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was nice.

Cons:

Our room on the 3rd floor was located under the kitchen and it was loud at 5am when breakfast was being prepared. The hotel is small and does not have great sound proofing. For the price we paid, it was disappointing to not get a good nights sleep.

For staying in a windowless room, it was a nice property
Pros:

Good location, clean, good breakfast

Cons:

We were upset that our room - a junior suite - didnt have a window, or rather frosted window on interior passage. There was no warning about this on booking.com. Staff didn’t seem happy. Coffee wasn’t good.

Perfect stay
Pros:

Everything was superb! Excellent value for the area. We were in a town house suite the price was so reasonable and the room was huge and luxurious. We had two bathrooms which was perfect for our girls trip. The location is perfect. The breakfast was not your run of mill hotel breakfast, items were homemade and plentiful. The wine and cheese hour was amazing. The toiletry products were so lux.

Our fifth stay! A great escape from the AZ desert, we especially love our anniversaries here.
Pros:

We really enjoy meeting other guests at breakfast and the wine and cheese event in the afternoons. The beautiful room high above the rooftops has amazing views and is a cozy place to enjoy. This space is unique among local hotels. Also, the ladies who attend to guests at these morning and afternoon events are a delight. This inn is truly a gem.
