Overall pleasant, great staff and area. Decent space but has its limits
Pros:

Staff was exceptional-ver accommodating and extremely helpful. Great location, modern room and great body products.

Cons:

Going from the room to the lobby-a bit of a task especially if folks were eating poolside. Could use more hooks to hang items in the bathroom and room/ storage. Working the TV (2 controls-when you only need one?) and room temp was not so easy. WiFi in and out for the TV and literally had to go to the front desk to figure out how to manage the room temp (wouldn't a thermostat be easier?)

Pros:

The hotel was in a great location. Close to good dining options and walkable activities to include morning coffee. Only complaint was the bed- way too soft , so a bit rough waking up. But small complaint compared to the other amazing things the hotel had such as the downstairs restaurant Ponyboy.

Not what we were promised, doesn’t live up to the photos.
Pros:

We thought this would be like the Ace, which we love. Nope. Hotel was SO loud even in our upcharged room (they put us next to an industrial closet with the pool pump going 24/7, which we had to ask them to turn off even after 1 am - pool closes at 8 so this was pure laziness on their part). Did not inform us of multiple private events which meant the kitchen and bar were fully closed during our entire stay. All communication is via text with the front desk, so replies are often weird or delayed. There was also a roach in our room (ew) and we were too grossed out by the patio to even use it (waste of $$ - dust, bugs, and cobwebs galore).

Extremely noisy rooms, nicely renovated, nice staff
Pros:

The hotel is beautifully renovated and the room was spacious and clean.

Cons:

Soundproofing? Nonexistent. The walls might as well be tissue paper. The first two nights we just overheard casual chatter outside the room, tolerable enough. But on the third night we were unwilling audience members to a very enthusiastic performance next door. From 3 to 5 am they moved their love story from the bathroom to the bedroom, and while they seemed to enjoy every minute, we would have preferred not to have front row seats. Five stars for romance, zero for rest.
