Tiny room. Hardly space to open your suitcase up and no place to set it down. Great location - across the street from the Continental Club and walkable to C-Boys, Gueros and The BAck Room.

This is just the coolest hotel. Great little shop at reception if you run out of drinks or snacks in your room. The pool is from another time, in the best way. Shower pressure was unbelievable, and I'm so glad they kept the old motel look to the rooms, despite the decor. This is a gem.
