    I stayed here when I first landed from the US, left for a side trip to Pico Island and came back. When I returned, the bags I had placed in the storage area were already placed in my room, very nice! Very good breakfast too. Excellent...

    The service was great, very nice staff. I left for a few days to visit another island, they kindly stored my bags for me. When I returned the woman at the desk informed me that my bags were already in my room! Above and beyond my expectations.

    We booked at the last minute and requested an accessible room for a mobility impaired person. There is only one room available but the hotel was able to offer it to us even though we were last minute.

    Lovely old mansion repurposed into downtown hotel with lots of period charm. Great 3rd floor pool big enough for relaxing swim & rooftop views.
