We had a great time, the building looks brand new and our micro efficiency was all we needed for a quick 3 day stay. We spent our days at the pool which has great patio furniture and huge umbrellas. Everything was clean and beautiful, at night we took advantage of the games in the courtyard. On our second day the owner came by to chat while we were sitting by the pool to make sure everything was ok, from the time I reached out about check in instructions Dave was warm, welcoming and...

We stayed here for 2 days on a mini vacation. The location was excellent for visiting museums and there were plenty of restaurants. The front desk personnel as well as the rest of the staff were very helpful and tireless. The hotel has its own parking garage which was convenient. At this time it was $22 a day which was reasonable considering you didn't have to worry about parking or safety. Your room key opened the garage gate and then it allowed entry into the hotel and right to the elevator....

10/10 Excellent

This hotel definately exceeded our expectations. Even though it is an old building (built in the early 1900s), the staff is very proud of its heritage and previous famous guests. They have done an outstanding job renovating and upkeeping this place. The hotel areas and rooms were impecably clean and the ambiance was from an old high vintage high class hotel. But the most noteworthy thing was their outstanding customer service. They treated us like family from the moment we checked in up to a...

When my grandma and I first came we were greeted when we went to check in with free drinks and then room service always ensured we had water. Property has free taxi rides that work on tips. Bikes, beach chairs, beach loungers, umbrella. I think the only thing I wish the hotel had would be more food options at 82 degrees restaurant other than that the staff was super friendly and we would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to our family and friends.

I fell in love with the vibe of the place. It’s very cool. It’s in a fantastic location right across across the street from the pier which I didn’t realize, that was a bonus. The restaurant was unbelievable ..amazing delish gourmet dishes. they have valet parking only up until 11front desk is closed between 11 PM and 7 AM. After 11 self parking in a very busy area. the elevator to the rooftop lounge only worked until the the third floor and you had to go outside take 4 flights of stairs, it...

I'm usually not one to leave a review, however, after my stay here I felt compelled to do so. I couldn't be more impressed by this property. My room (1 bedroom king suite with gulf view) was impeccably clean and tidy, with a very fresh, modern, and comfortable design. The pool area was very clean and inviting. The gym was surprisingly large and exceeded my expectations. It was stocked with more equipment than your average hotel. It was clear that its design was a priority, rather than an...
