"This place was great! You are transported back to the 50s and 60s with the full Tiki Vibe! The rooms are clean and beds comfortable. The neighborhood is in the midst of a resurgence so it’s not going to be long before this area is much more expensive! The staff is outstanding and the Bahi hut is a great place to unwind! It’s not the luxury hotels that are right up the road, but the quirkiness of this place more than makes up for it and the staff will likely actually know your name! Thank you to everyone on the staff for a great stay!"
