Enjoyed but small things let it down
Pros:

Great location and easy to find, staff were friendly. Room was quiet so great sleep.

Cons:

Yes rooms were unique but our apartment room was on first floor with outlook onto pool but because the pool has a permanent clear roof and sides not a lot of light making room dark and depressing and people in pool can look into your room.
Went out for day, came back at 4pm to relax before evening plans to find room was just getting serviced so had to wait in bar until finished.
We had continental breakfast, not alot of choice. . For cost was disappointed.

Loved it!
Pros:

Love the quirkiness of the hotel. We have been before so this was a return visit.

Cons:

We were in Room 104 and there was a drum
like noise on and off. We were right next to
The pool, so may have been a pump or something.
