I loved the "boutique hotel" interior everywhere with many details. We had upgraded white spacious room in tropical design with bath tube. It was quite and romantic, fantastic panoramic view on bay lights at night... I did not like the owner's behavior. A couple of men: one was reserved amd intelligent, he checked is in and made that simple breakfast. His partner kinda minded our business.

We felt very safe and homey here and would...
   Read moreTHIS WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF OUR LIVES!!!!! listen!! do not go to this hotel!!!!! the owner (andrew) is an ALCOHOLIC!!!!!!!!!!! He left us stranded outside on the street for 1 hour not replying to our calls or texts even though we had informed him of our check in time (because he was passed out drunk). it took us 2 hours to find someone at the hotel to check us in. Upon checkin, he didnât give us the room we paid for.
while we were moving our bags, we found him in our room eating our pasta that we had gotten with us. We ended up leaving the next day, and HE REFUSED TO REFUND US FOR THE REMAINING 8 NIGHTS, AND HE COULDNT UNDERSTAND WHAT WE WERE SAYING BECAUSE HE WAS DRUNK OUT...
