The property was wonderful except for the pool. The photos on the website are an AI rendering if what it was supposed to look like, but the city shut it down (according to the pool bartender). Also, the beach adjacent to the hotel is a public beach, so chairs / umbrellas aren’t available to rent on site. The only option is to bring your own, or go down to the Lido Beach Resort to use their chairs. Not a huge deal, as we enjoyed the beach being much less populated vs the private one, but definitely something we wish we would have known prior.

Property has been nicely refurbished. We enjoyed our stay. Only problem was our room didn’t get serviced every day ({even though they told us we would have daily service) and we had to call a couple of times to get fresh towels, trash taken out and beds made. We stayed there 6 days. But we would definitely stay there again. Very close to beach and walkable to St Armand’s Circle

My husband and I and our daughter drove in from Miami to celebrate her 15th birthday. She wanted to tour Ringling Art College nearby and this circus themed hotel was perfect! We fell in love with the decor, it was done beautifully. We also really enjoyed the boutique vibe - nostalgic, swanky but low key. And the food was amazing!! We’re already planning to come back later this year.
