the suite had a well-appointed kitchen. it also had a private porch overlooking a beautiful garden. i found the location to be excellent! it was a short walk to duval street.
The bathroom had inadequate shelf space. the bath and shower combo felt dangerous. Safety bars would really help. i wished there were more towels available since we ran out.

lush gardenshelpful staffseparate living areadaily retreat
I adored the lush gardens. It seemed like an oasis tucked away from everything. the staff were helpful with directions and local recommendations. the room had a separate living area and kitchenette, SO convenient. the pool, though small, became my daily retreat, a true balm to my soul.
The bathroom could use a little updating. The fixtures seemed old and worn.

while this hotel does not have a restaurant, complimentary coffee and tea were available each morning, SUCH a sweet touch. local cafes are a short walk away for more substantial meals.
