Each suite has a queen-sized bed, private bathroom, and individual A/C and heating units for personalized comfort. Guests receive a gate code for contactless check-in and access to a spacious room with clawfoot bathtubs and large bathrooms.
Outdoor Oasis
The inn has an in-ground cocktail pool and a hot tub set within a lush backyard with cabana seating. Seasonal pool towels and swimming pool toys are provided for guests, and a communal BBQ facility is available for outdoor cooking. The hot tub offers relaxation after a full day of walking the city.
