The property itself is ok. We booked a small room. What we received was a broom closet. To enter the bathroom we had to move our luggage into the hallway. Our advertised courtyard view was a great view of the air conditioner and the wall of the next building. The whole thing is a bit deceiving. When I tried to talk to the person at the front desk she instantly went from nice to very condescending. She spoke to me like I was a child and had never booked a hotel before when in reality I am an exceptionally well travelled Travel Agent. I won’t be booking this property again and sure will not book for any of my clients.

A great stay
We had a great stay at Family Affair. Our room - the corner suite - was beautifully decorated, spacious and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was outstanding and service friendly, efficient and thoughtful. Would not hesitate to stay again and have already recommended to friends.

Amazing little gem. Deserves all the rave reviews. Staff is absolutely fantastic. Suite was gorgeous. Lovely lady at check in was very proud of the city and when "briefly explaining" the area, pretty much designed a custom walking itinerary on their map, highlighting all major spots worth seeing. This was excellent and greatly cut down on wasted time. Upon learning that I was departing early in the morning, on my last night, the staff packed a little to go breakfast and left it in my room the night before. Fantastic small touches for a perfect stay. Highly recommended.
