Beautiful ambiance and interiors, our room was a bit loud from 9am-11pm because of our proximity to the pool & outdoor bar, if you want something quieter don’t book the balcony rooms. Staff was friendly and accommodating, though quality of service varied depending on who was working. Overall a great experience, definitely a property to visit if you want to have fun and party a bit. We would come back!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It’s a beautiful hotel in a fantastic location, with plenty of amenities including a great pool, lively bar, 24-hour diner and even a bowling alley. That said, it’s very much a party hotel. You should expect loud music throughout the day and evening — which you can hear from your room — as well as a steady stream of influencers gathering around the bar and pool. There’s also no housekeeping service. My room wasn’t cleaned during my stay, which feels quite surprising given the price point. Service overall was minimal — no assistance with luggage, and you’re required to carry your bags up stairs and across a busy pool area to reach your room. For what you pay, it doesn’t quite deliver a luxury experience.

Not sure how this hotel has been awarded anything. The pool is pretty and that’s about it. No bell hop, rooms are through the hotel, through the pool, and up multiple flights of stairs. However, no mention of this anywhere on the hotels website. Did not feel safe at all, my room was in the middle of no where overlooking a busy street. Complete waste of money

Staff barged in our room without knocking, put us up in a room directly near the staircase to the lobby so it was so noisey the entire night, it felt like guests were in our room with us. Amenities for pool lacking—no service in the pool area, servers would not even bring your drink to you. Did not meet our standards.
