Review:
What a wonderful hotel! Elegant and casual all at the same time. I loved the opening window for fresh air and looking down onto the pool area, for starters.

My bed was delightfully comfortable. Soft sheets and the right weight blankets made for a good night's sleep. Other perks I don't see too often in hotels include a shoe shine/buffer, fridge and scale.

Green elements I noticed are unlined wastebaskets, compact fluorescent bulbs, and reusable mugs and glasses (which they replaced daily!).

The location, service and green aspects of this hotel have me looking forward to another visit.
