"Older hotel but they've cleaned and fixed it up. One of the few on Bolivar Point that you don't have to rent the whole house for an overnight stay. It's slow season so office was locked while they worked but a simple buzz had someone there to help. Room was clean and comfortable with plenty of room, could have added a small couch for comfort. They have great murals . Has good wifi and fridge and microwave. No coffee maker but had coffee in office. I would stay again. "

The owner was so sweet and took the time to answer every question, the chef was amazing and had so much richness to share of his life, the property and the city itself, the bed gave me the greatest night sleep of my entire life, and the breakfast and tea time were so amazingly authentic it took me back to my time in the UK eating...
