i love boutique hotels because of the unique designs and character. the decor was really beautiful and the staff was very friendly. however, the paint in the room was chipping in certain places. the water pressure in the shower and bathroom sink was abysmal. also, the toilet paper was holder was under the sink, so strange. overall, it was a pleasant experience.
