Good hotel overall
Good: Location, light blocking shades, pet friendly, quiet, AC available, updated, lots of parking, nice decor and lobby with local art.
Needs improvement: cleanliness of shower (lots of pink mold), cleanliness of carpet, we had no hand or shower soap in our room, check in process was disorganized.

Worth the drive .
The lobby and room entranced where beautiful. The restaurant... although staff were good lacked the same wow factor in regard to the stunning native theme. The restaurant had a sports bar theme.
Overall a good stay. Oh ya the pillows were awful being huge and uncomfortable.
Cheers Scott.
