Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were very nice to sit and relax in, but could use darkening curtains. Even though the room was small for the price, the service was fantastic with complimentary perks like a bottle of champagne and helpful staff always going the extra mile. The location was beautiful but could be expensive for longer stays. The dining experience was really good and thanks to the awesome front desk, we had a great time trying out the menu. Overall, a pleasant stay with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room had an amazing view, but it was not worth the high price considering the cleanliness issues and the long wait for check-in. The service was lacking warmth, and there were various unprofessional encounters. On the bright side, the location was inviting and convenient, although a bit challenging to locate in the dark. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with limited food choices but a sudden improvement noticed. Overall, it's a mixed bag of experiences at this hotel.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the rooms could use better cleaning and were quite far from the front desk, I did appreciate the main A/C unit in the room. The service was top-notch with extremely helpful and positive staff. The location was lovely with great outdoor pool amenities, although the cold walk was a drawback. The dining experience was a total disappointment, but the facilities were decent overall.
