9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,000 reviews)

I liked that it's accessible to the beach across the street. It was a better experience than when I reserved at another hotel a year ago. It has a very Asian/Greek/morrocan/tropical influence, which is a bit confusing because when you look at the hotel - its Spanish architecture. It would be nice ...

7.6/10 Good! (181 reviews)

The hotel is ok. Actually the restaurant was very nice. But the place is so big and odd... Rotunda hallways have no wall hangings and seem worn out and abandoned. Some of the staff just acted ambivalent, like they didn't want to be working through the holidays.

We thought the hotel had a great location-in the middle of everything. We enjoyed just sitting out on the balcony and looking at the beach. We were able to walk to a lot of things.

It was just right. The staff was friendly. The location was perfect for State St walking, shopping, dining but it was also quiet (not close enough to noisy nightlife to cause lost sleep).
