The place was beautiful and very well thought out as far as the vibes go. However, many details Or left out. There was no trashcan in the room and the open concept bathroom made it seem very jailhouse. The entire bathroom floor was soaking so you couldn’t take a shower and then get ready. There is no mirror other than the one above the sink. Not very practical.

Property is beautiful. BUT not for a family that wants a peaceful get away. You will be up till midnight hearing doors slamming, people yelling, and loud music all night. Also dont mind sharing the hotel you paid for because people off the street can buy a day pass and will take up every open seat/bar area until who knows when. Also get to the pool by 6:15… AM or youre not getting a seat anywhere. our room had boiling hot water or freezing cold water no in between while showering . In all honesty this place is not a go to or ever will be unless policy changes or they create space for only staying guest so people off the street have limited access. Besides that the bed is great. The shower was dirty with previous guest hair which the staff did come to clean but how disgusting. The diner was mediocre with breakfast being great but lunch service was horrendous for instance the hostess putting menus on an empty table but not giving us any while walking directly past us… not offering water or anything. So dont go here unless you want a headache and regret from overspending at this shack

Ok, so, here's the scoop. Overall? 10/10 stars! ⭐️ The vibes, the friendliness of the staff, the atmosphere, the bedsheets, the decor, the badass lamps in our room and all the little kitschy things are so cool and impressive! And also incredibly refreshing after staying at so many generic hotels where everything is just cheap and basic cookie cutter.... Your place added a touch of class and personality to practically everything! From the floor to the ceiling, everything in our room was unique! We loved it! I honestly especially really enjoyed the text Concierge service and not having an actual landline phone in the room, and you guys were always super responsive and helpful!

the only disadvantage is that they have a text concierge service- not as personable. I asked for late check out because my flight was in the eve- and they didn’t grant it. I’ve never really been denied a late check out- so that wasn’t very friendly- regardless of the reason why. they had a wedding checking in, but that shouldn’t take away from other paying customers.

This is more for adults. The hotel is unique looking, which was nice. But the pool chairs were always taken by the people who had pool side view rooms and was very disappointing. We could never find a seat until it’s was late in the day. On the weekends the lobby was full of people drinking at the bar locations. There air didn't stay cold for long. The staff however was friendly and helpful.
