Absolutely one of the best places we have stayed in many years. So accommodating, kind, and professional. The hotel had a fun thematic old Hollywood vibe that made us feel like we stepped back in time. It was clean, fun, and we will go back again!

I loved our stay so much! The hotel is absolutely STUNNING. The pool is absolutely fantastic. I think the hot tub could be a smidge hotter but other than that this is a 12/10 for me. Would stay here anytime.

The room was clean and comfortable. Love how it was decorated. Having a kitchenette was a bonus. We didnt go into the pool because it was a little cloudy and we werent sure if that was normal or not. We loved the old school feel of the property. It would be good to have better instructions for check in or check out especially if you are early or late. We would stay here again

The Candelabra room was amazing, Liberace inspired. Filled with accessories making it such a unique guest experience. The bed was super comfortable, the staff was welcoming and the pool area is charming with plenty of cabanas. The whole hotel is a design delight. The bar lounge is elegant and vibrant, I was lucky as Saturday evenings they have live entertainment.
