I’m a fan of expresso martinis, my experience outside during breakfast hours were always a little awkward when approaching the area to sit. On both days, something was not available on the menu . And my expresso martinis were my least favorite I’ve ever tasted anywhere . As in your bartenders drink we’re not the best in my opinion. Everything else from the experience of breakfast , lunch and dinner on a weekend was great ambience. Beautiful interiors and so much to do. Loved staying here, my suite was perfect and looking forward to staying here again.

It was beautiful and fun. My sister and I stayed for one night on the weekend. I didn't know that it was such a happening location, so much so that there would be a line of people waiting to get in for the bar, back patio, and concert in Lou Lous. That being said, I didn't have to wait to get inside. Our showerhead could have used a bit of tightening, but I think that heavy pouring water was supposed to be how it operates. 10/10 would return and recommend.

Lovely hotel with kind employees. The food and drinks are amazing. You really don’t need to leave the hotel for anything. The only downside is the street parking which can be difficult in the evenings. They have valet but I’d rather not spend my money on that.
