Location was wonderful, walkable to the Island in about 5 minutes, as well as plenty of restaurants to choose from, shopping was close by, the room was super nice and clean, the beds were so comfortable, definitely stay here again
Pamela, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Shower was mostly clean however there was some soap scum left over from previous tenants, I also HATE that the bathroom door just slides over the opening but the sides are still open so you can hear EVERYTHING in the bathroom, also, the mattress was so hard that I woke up crying in pain because of my back (and that’s coming from someone who occasionally sleeps in the floor at home). Love the soaps/bodywash/hair products
Tasha, 1-night trip

Did use the hot tub. Room was clean. House keeping never once came in our room. Stayed 4 nights. No fresh towels, no one cleaned the the room. No replacement of kleenex, toilet paper. Was done by 2:30, so the next day we stayed gone til 4pm. Still no housekeeping

Going way back

Staff was very friendly and helpful upon arrival. Decor has a great vibe in both lobby and guest room. Pool is way beyond your normal hotel pool; with giant chair loungers to gazebos, to pool side food and drinks. There is also a large hot tub. Only cons were coffee was not available in the lobby and street noise was rather loud. Breakfast was good, but miss having the option to grab a quick bite; like yogurt, muffins, or fruit. After all is said and done, We Will definitely be back!
Erin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The pool and the activity they have a disco night party so fun!
Lisa, 1-night trip

Nice weekday stay

Check-in was a breeze, staff was attentive and friendly, we never had any issues parking, the room was large, the bed and pillows were very comfortable, the bathroom sink had a few hairs on it and the bathroom floors had a couple dirty spots, but everything else appeared clean.

Absolutely amazing! Staff and property were perfect. Highly recommend! Truly a beautiful experience.
Dominic, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Workers were very friendly and helpful. The complimentary breakfast should be a simple buffet style so you can eat quickly especially when the hotel is booked. There is no way to feed everyone efficiently. We only got one breakfast because the wait was so long. It was not the workers fault. It was the system management had in place.

Okay hotel. Great location.

It was an okay Hotel with an amazing location. It wasn’t bad but the website is better than the actual hotel again clean, okay breakfast, just expecting more of a High end experience I guess. Would I stay here again? Yes but just because the location not necessarily because the hotel.
