The hotel partners with the shop, offering guests 10% off purchases, so we stopped in here every single day--even twice one day--to stock up on souvenirs and gifts. The selection of items was great! We found several things for everyone back home. Prices were SO reasonable, especially with the extra 10% off. Staff was nice and remembered us each time we came in, joking on the last day that we were their favorite customers since we had been there so many times LOL! Overall, this shop is great.

Parking isn't exactly the best as they're located on a main street with very limited free parking. We drove around the neighborhood on a weekday and found a spot near a residential area about a block away from the shop.
