Strong positive sentiment: staff repeatedly described as very kind, helpful and communicative (specific praise for 'Ammy'); guests extended stays because of the service.

Value for Money

Beautiful hotel in great location!
Pros:

Great location - we walked everywhere! And the hotel is just beautiful. The staff are super friendly and we really enjoyed our room staying nice and cold so when we came back it was refreshing. It was easy to pop back to the hotel between outings as it was so centrally located.

Cons:

The shower is a bit weird. There was hardly any water pressure and it’s on its own. The toilet and sink are on the other side of the room so you have to walk around the bed after your shower to the sink to brush your hair or teeth etc. also the doors to both the shower and toilet are just glass so you can completely see through. Not an issue for us but could be for some.

Great location. The hotel needs to decide if it is a design oasis or a night club.
Pros:

The design and location

Cons:

I had been here before and it was quiet and peaceful. They recently decided to play loud music on the rooftop pool you can hear in your room. Some days music starts at 8 am. We had to call to complain and they turned it down after 9 PM. But it is so loud I couldn’t make a call to my family or hear the TV.

Lovely place to stay!
Pros:

Extremely Vibey, the lobby smelled great when we arrived and is beautifully decorated. The roof deck is just a lovely place to hang out and the cocktails are great. The bed and pillows were very comfy and the room has a mini bar, Nespresso coffee maker and a tea kettle. The location is awesome for exploring downtown and all the wonderful restaurants. Coffee shop is downstairs and the cappuccino was top notch !

Cons:

Room was a little small for two people at 200+ sq feet, we laughed about it as we had to turn to the side to pass. Bathroom has a clear glass door that is open at the top so is a little tricky if you don’t know each other well! There are some nice bathrooms on property so wasn’t an issue for us.

Thank you! This was a beautiful experience. I extended my stay an extra four days. The staff is so kind!
Pros:

The architecture and interior design is unmatched. It’s stunning. It’s also a five minute walk to every- no need for a car. Ubers are so cheap if you want to go to the beach ($5-15).

Cons:

It can be noisy but they have ear plugs and it’s on rare occasions when they have events - and they tell you. There’s a cafe near the lobby so you can always enjoy coffee or treats then go back to your room and a rooftop bar.

El hotel se convierte como discoteca a las 7 de la mañana
Pros:

La alberca y su agua caliente
Al arquitectura del lugar

Cons:

Se indica que llegando, se ofrece una bebida « signature welcome drink » pero solo es agua.
La decisión del hotel de poner música súper fuerte a las 7 de la mañana para celebrar una carrera que pasa en la ciudad. Qué buena idea! Qué bueno sentirse en una discoteca tan temprano cuando el objetivo de un hotel es dormir y descansar. Además que este evento ni siquiera es para los huéspedes sino para los corredores. También demuestra que el hotel no tiene buena aislamiento acústico ya que se escucha la gente hablar desde la habitación. Bajamos a la recepción para decirlo y el mensaje fue « pues aguanten ».
