Boutique Chic!
Pros:

Lovely, friendly, helpful staff. Right in the heart of town. "Boutique chic" rooms with everything you need. All the class without the price. Would definitely stay again.

Cons:

Just note that the Booking.Com price is not the final price ... we had a little extra for taxes and amenities. There is also a US$100 per room, per night security deposit.

I could really only complain about one thing: the TV. Everything else was so lovely I'll go back!
Pros:

The room was painted beautifully and a nice size. The bed was comfortable and the blankets were thick. Housekeeping was fantastic, I would like to stay here again soon!

Cons:

The Smart TV in the room didn't have any streaming apps, you had to use their wi-fi network to cast your phone to the TV. I didn't really like that since I don't keep any streaming apps like Netflix on my phone.
