We paid $800/night for this dump. The hotel had a wedding right below our window that went until midnight and the noise from the cleanup went until 4am. (There were noise machines provided in the rooms, so it is obviously not a new complaint. The mattress and bedding were cheap and uncomfortable. We got almost no sleep at all. The stay was so bad, we left halfway through the weekend to just go home. Sent them an email to describe my complaints, and they never responded. I've never written a bad review about anything online.

Gorgeous, old world charm. Closest you can get to European feeling in the US. Note the building is old so noticed a musty smell in the room and the elevator is old and tiny. Beds were comfortable, and pool area is heavenly. Staff and service were 5-star. Dining was overpriced but the views were lovely. Would absolutely stay again.

Great location but to much noice

We enjoyed our stay with the exception of noice. We heard staff cleaning / moving furniture around in the restaurant / bar after it closed from 11:30pm to 1:30am. Additionally, every-time someone flushed a toilet above or around us we were woken up by the rush of water running through the walls / pipes.

The property itself is nice, but I probably wouldn’t stay here again. We upgraded to the Ocean View Suite, which was a lot more expensive, and honestly, it just wasn’t worth it. The beds were super uncomfortable, the room smelled musty, and everything felt pretty outdated—not what you’d expect for $900 a night. We ended up switching to the Icon Suite, which was way better—more modern and the bed was actually comfortable. That definitely improved things. However, on Monday night while we were in the Icon Suite, there was super loud music coming from a rooftop bar at a completely different property next door. It was bumping into our room until around 11:30 PM, which made it really hard to relax or wind down. All in all, some nice aspects, but the experience didn’t match the price point.
