I really wanted to like this property because I thought the concept was cool. The only good things were the location, the staff (great service!) and the breakfast (which was pretty average). Unfortunately, it missed so many other marks that it didn't balance out. First, the design of the room makes no sense- the bath tub in the middle divides the room into a weird shape & limits the space in the room. Also, having the bathtub outside meant we were constantly letting mosquitos into the room when the door opens because there is no real barrier. Plus the bath tub over looked another building so if the shade wasn't down, people could see right in but if the shade was down then it was stuffy. The shades that block off the room are controlled by a switch on the wall, so the night we had a big storm that knocked out power, we couldn't lower the shades & were stuck with light shining through from outside & from the emergency lights in the hotel. Next, the room smelled horrible- especially in the hallway right as we entered the room. The room was clean-ish but there were fingerprints all over the dark surfaces and on the mirrors. The black interior makes the rooms and hallways gloomy- not sexy as implied. We stayed in the building that was connected to the restaurant and the restaurant door stays open at all times so anyone can just walk in even when there is no staff there. This was especially concerning at night because there is a dark hallway near the elevators.
A great experience - everything about my stay exceeded expectations.
