8.4/10 Very Good! (1,002 reviews)

The location was perfect close to the beach, great location. The staff was 5 stars, the common room was inviting with coffee, games and generous seating. The rooms were clean, the bed very comfortable. The only downside was how small the room were. I requested a room with a patio and glad I did as we brought our two dogs, the patio was wonderful, nice size and chairs

9.4/10 Exceptional! (529 reviews)

It was just ok. Not what we were expecting. The resturant was poor and not in tune to accommodating the menu and the order that the guest placed. I had to request spoons to eat my granola, coffee was cold, and the order was incorrect.

8.4/10 Very Good! (392 reviews)

Hotel side of things was all pretty good. I saw some other rooms that housekeeping was in and some of these rooms a scary small. I'm glad I opted for a more expensive room so we had the extra room space. The view was great, room styling and decor was awesome. Location is about the best for the area also. I recommend a room overlooking state st or the penthouse is out of this world. My one let down was Dusk & Dawn. They are nice but I was under the impression that they were larger and that Dusk would have a good menu for dinner. It's just drinks and snacks. Not necessarily a bad thing but something to mention. There's a lot of food places in the area and the hotel alone is worth the stay. The staff were all great and very friendly. Facilities were also clean and well kept.
