Perfect for what I needed! Would definitely stay there again.
Chase, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved this hotel! Gorgeous environs, and great bonus amenities including a welcome drink of either sparkling water or prosecco, two free cocktails at the bar ($16 each), and a $10 food credit at their restaurant (1 per stay). Loved the heated pool, which was the perfect temperature, and had towels at each chaise lounge and a convenient poolside bathroom. Loved the free coffee in the mornings and the lemon or cucumber water in the lobby all day. The food at the restaurant was spectacular, and bonus points for having an NA cocktail on the menu. Plus it was right across the street from the amazing Original Farmer’s Market, and within walking distance (less than 15 minutes) of Sidecar Donuts, Pho Saigon Pearl, and the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. Would stay again!

Cutest little boutique hotel

Stayed here for 1 night with my tween daughter. We both loved it-the room was darling, courtyard had the best vibe and couldn’t ask for a better location across from the Grove!
