Staying the night here feels like sleeping at a pawn shop / thrift store. The rooms are cluttered, junky and full of ugly worn out stuff. Also, don’t plan on getting any sleep as it’s crazy loud… even though they provide ear plugs. The service is horrible- valet, check in, bartenders- none are helpful or interested in providing service. Skip this place or just have a drink here and move on!

Cool place. Good vibe. Good music. Swanky taste. But the Parking situation is no bueno— best bet is valet and then use an Uber around the area

I like everything about the hotel. The Decor is amazing. The formal dining is all right but very dark! Love the patio seating facing the pool I had a little issue doing my make up and hair in front of the large mirror across the closet because The lighting was really dimmed!

Small room, very dark rooms, and the A/C in our room took a long time to cool the small room. No parking is inconvenient unless you want to fork up $38.
