the actual place is AMAZING. It is gorgeous, clean, and above & beyond. Lillian is also incredibly responsive & kind, and clearly cares deeply about her guests!! It felt a little unfair to knock off a star for something outside of her control, but the reality is, the location wasn't what we were expecting & it did impact our stay. frankly, as a petite woman, while things are walking distance, I did not feel safe to walk (and I have lived & navigated plenty of cities, and am from Detroit). I do wish we had been more aware of the location. It's just so hard to know when you're out of town.
if you're planning on driving everywhere, don't hesitate to stay here as the accommodations are truly phenomenal, and inside, I felt incredibly safe. but if you like to be able to walk around, go walk to a coffee shop or wanted to walk to the beach/go for a run...might be something to consider.
