Pros:

Room was very clean and cozy. Excellent, friendly staff. They have a bird.

Cons:

The ceiling fan could use a cleaning in the pool area...but it is very high and seems like it would be difficult

Loved the room and staff, hated the hot room in the back.
Pros:

It was great, love the indoor pool and the kitchenette. Loved the two separate rooms.

Cons:

There is only air conditioning in the front half. The second room in the back is SO HOT all the time. That is honestly my only complaint. If they could figure out how to circulate the air to in there, it would be top tier hotel for sure.

Cozy oasis in a bustlin area
Pros:

It has an almost vintage vibe but in the best of ways. The full kitchenette was an added bonus I didnt realize when I booked. They have pots pans and cutlery (although you will need your own knife for cutting any kind of veggies) and they even provide dishsoap. The jacuzzi felt like luxury and the staff were down to earth.

Cons:

This has nothing to do with the hotel, I just didn't realize how much traffic was going to be in the area

Loved walking into a smiling face and a talking bird! Staff was beyond friendly and the pet bird Peppy was awesome! I walked into an open Bible. It wasn’t hid in a drawer which really caught my eye! We will be staying here from now on.

Cons:

Everything was great will definitely stay again.
