The place is adorable. As an interior designer I thought it was well planned except for few items. Recommendations: More hooks in the bathroom. The one near the towel rack was not usable as its so close. Towel rings on each side of the mirror would help keep the hand towels dry and save on laundry. And raising the towel bar over the toilet for same reason. Mirror in bath and at vanity although cute are basically useless to see yourself for shaving or make up. A lighted pull out in bathroom would help.

This hotel was nice; it was pricey for the amenities but it was a convenient location. The best part was the night shift at the guest services desk, Chevy was the sweetest and most professional young lady I've ever encountered on vacation at a hotel!!! Kristy on night shift was very helpful as well.
