Nice spot, a bit more expensive than we often use, but close to the Art Deco dance we attended. Very nice staff. Amenities included freshly baked cookies in the afternoons.

Breakfast was spotty but the service was great, unobtrusive. Location was a bit of a hike to the hill but quietly away from the esplanade. Nice patio on the third floor to take in the view.

Both Melissa and Parker at the front desk were excellent. The property is a small boutique hotel away from all the tourists but easy walking to shops and restaurants. Morning breakfast was simple. Will be back again.
