"Friendly staff. Good recommendations for local areas. Really cute and unique property. Would stay again for sure. Excellent breakfast. Parking was tight, but owner was helpful in getting the car in. Security for the room was a potential issue as you could put your arm through the gate to unlock it at anytime; risk is mitigated by no one being allowed into the property that isn't a guest. Still, I'd put valuables in the safe. Overall was a great stay. Highly recommended and would be glad to...

10/10 Excellent
"Breakfast buffet always ready at 7am. Great sports bar. Staff is super fun. This unique boutique hotel used to be a mansion - they kept adding on. It’s like a rowdy Tico Winchester Mystery House . I suggest staying in the modern wing. Pura vida."
