"The inn boasts classic Mediterranean flare, surrounded by lush gardens. Its proximity to the waterfront and downtown makes it an ideal base for exploring the city. Each morning, guests are treated to a continental breakfast. Don’t expect to walk out of there full but it’s plenty for a small bite.

"The hotel has been remodeled and was very modern inside. Super friendly staff. Would’ve been 5 stars but I knocked 1 star for two reasons, because of the remodel they have vinyl flooring which is very nice but not so nice when you have people above you and you can hear every little step. Secondly, we stayed two nights, both nights the toilet got clogged and no we weren’t putting anything crazy in there. The last night it over flowed. I would still definitely stay here again. "
