We had to move rooms....were moved to one across the property and the maintenance man actually went above and beyond and loaded our cart andn brought it over for us. No restaurant open, no bar tender, several other issues with no staff available, but overall we made the best of it.

The experience overall was average. Nothing to report outside of the normal. I had an emergency that caused me to have to leave early and I have not heard back about a potential refund for the night I didn't get to stay.

This is an older property in the center of old town. A great location with easy access to all the shops and restaurants. A lot of updates need to be made to the rooms. Air conditioning was out in the first room we checked into. The staff was very polite. The pool area is great drinks are a little spendy so don’t go on a budget.

This was our 2 nd stay, because we love it. Very cool boutique hotel right in old town. Though last time was late November, so off the hook walking score. Now it’s late July and walking anywhere is sure to create spontaneous combustion. Still the pools are great- but warm. Also be prepared for 9 hours a day of techno music from the big pool. But that said, there will definitely be a 3rd and 4th etc stay.

When we got back to our room at 11 PM we discovered our AC was not working. The staff member on duty was unable to accommodate and we ended up just packing up and heading home as it was supposed to be a staycation. Very disappointing.

The front desk staff during check-in were pleasant but did not explain anything about the property or how to get to our room and they were doing a pretty poor job at trying to calm down and irate guest. The room was okay. I guess the pictures are way better than in person. It could definitely use a major overhaul. We then got locked out of our room for about an hour cuz our key code wouldn't work and none of the other key codes they were giving us would work and their maintenance wasn't sure where a physical key was and it was. You know 115 outside so it was pretty warm. I will say that one of the managers did help us out and walked us back to our room and was very friendly and took a portion of our bill off which was very nice so that was nice. I would say overall the property was just okay for us and we probably would not go back there again but the location's very convenient and the price was right at the time
