"This is a great boutique hotel very convenient to downtown so you can walk to the store. The room was extremely clean and cozy. The staff were always extremely helpful. The breakfast was amazing lots of variety and they make any style egg that you would like. Splurge on the view it’s totally worth it. The gift shop right next to the hotel is 10/10 and this is also where you can book massages. We had two while we were there and they were both amazing!!"
