“This hotel is a hidden gem. Despite being a block or two from the main street, it is wonderfully peaceful and quiet, with a stunning view of the mountains.”
“Margarita is the person on staff most days and makes it feel like she is sharing her own home with you, almost like a B&B.”
“There are legitimate rules of conduct set by the owner, but they are not enforced. It is the special tranquility that has brought us here so far. We hope that it stays that way.”
“Felt a lack of warmth. There's no onsite staff and no onsite dining so it feels a little dead. The bathroom and especially the sink were very small. Wasn't worth the price paid.”
“This truly is a hideaway. The rooms are spacious and vintage. The pool is cool and fun. Super close to downtown and the views were chefs kiss.”
