i love boutique hotels because of the unique designs and character. the decor was really beautiful and the staff was very friendly. however, the paint in the room was chipping in certain places. the water pressure in the shower and bathroom sink was abysmal. also, the toilet paper was holder was under the sink, so strange. overall, it was a pleasant experience.

The staff were very accommodating and welcoming. We left and returned at odd hours but the concierge was always present and willing to answer any questions we had. The rooms are also nicely furnished and cleaned by the janitorial staff. There are quite a bit of stairs within, but the room was very spacious with plenty of storage for our bags. Breakfast is the same everyday, but there was a nice spread of items to choose from during our stay.
