The hotel looks recently renovated and is very clean. Great location, room is big, and we even had a partial view of the ocean. I’m sure the hotel is quiet if you aren’t there on Pride weekend. Our room smelled like cleaning products and we could not get the AC to cool the room or get the humidity out. Everything I put in the fridge was frozen solid the next morning and had to be thrown away. At checkout, I mentioned this to the staff at the desk and she totally dismissed it. No “sorry for the inconvenience” or anything. She didn’t even look me in the face. That’s what will keep me from ever staying there again. All other staff were friendly and kind. Went to the cafe in the hotel to get coffee and couldn’t find someone who worked there. Ended up at the coffee shop across the street instead.

My only slight quibble is that the interior and exterior don’t match. Outside is traditional and inside is funky boutique vibes. Also way too expensive.

The furnishings are cheap considering what I was paying for the room. Not happy about the $90 overnight valet parking fee. Room was small overlooking a roof top.overpriced breakfast . Need a better choice of colors for the room hallways. Everything just looks old.

The venue was recently renovated. You can tell this venue has been around for a really long time, but probably not the best place to stay with kids. The vibe definitely seemed to be more of an adult crowd throughout the stay. Fiest the website pictures give off that the balcony.s were in the room when there is not one room with an balcony. Secondly check in took some time before anyone arrived to check us in. The food was mediocre Overall not worth the money spent.

We had a standard king room with a partial ocean view. The room was clean but a bit dated. The staff never came back to service the room. They came to our door around 10am on Sunday and I asked for them to come later. We came back to the room at 5:30pm and it wasn’t touched. The staff at the front desk and the doormen were very friendly and helpful.
