8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
Overall my stay here was good. Rooms were clean, host was very nice and very helpful. The price was too steep for one night.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
Perfect distance to 6th street. Very clean. Beautiful restaurant and pool area. 10/10.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2026
The hotel was great, clean, had a nice pool area, and in a relatively good area, maybe not small kid friendly with their being a huge bar/ party area across the street, but great for young adults or families without littles. What almost ruined it for us was when we went to check in and the hotel had not reviewed our reservation through the third party service using vrbo (aka the host). I had messaged them multiple times since the booking to make sure everything was ready for our stay, so instant panic as they didn't have a room like that available. I will say when I called the service the lady was very helpful and between her and the front desk we worked out a situation and I got a room with a king bed instead of the 2 queens. It worked out fine though as it was just me and a friend. AGAIN both services were helpful! But lesson learned, either call the hotel itself prior to confirm they received the booking from the host, or just book through the hotel itself.
