- “If you're looking for a good night's sleep, you'll get it. The bed was comfortable as was the climate control in the room.” 7
- “I might help that I was on a higher floor. There were two blinds, one was to avoid other people looking into the room and one was darkening the room: Rooms are well maintained.” 9

- “Mirrors abound in this 260 square foot room. They're not only artistic in nature but they're functional with a sliding barn door being used for the bathroom and to provide a full length mirror.” 7
- “A clothing rack is used in place of a closet and holds a robe and your larger toiletry items, like a hair dryer. I actually liked the openness that this type of storage provides.” 7
- “But the inside has been reimagined with boho chic character in each room and a large welcoming lounge with a South American flair that greets you as you enter.” 7
- “Views arent much and I didnt expect such. You can barely see the small courtyard, despite "courtyard view" being in the room description.” 9

- “Yes breakfast for two, was fairly decent” 15
- “Call Your Mother Deli restaurant is an ideal place for enjoying vegetarian cuisine.” 16
