charming stay!

cute staffrooftop poolbathroom update

The staff were cute and helpful. The location was perfect! the rooftop pool was a real gem. the a/c in the room worked very well. I slept comfortably every night.

I found that the bathroom could use some updating. It seemed a bit outdated compared to the rest of the room.
