Well…the rooms are a bit small but when opening up the patio door, it fell off its track because the wood had deteriorated. The bed lights didn’t work properly, they kept flickering. Ordered room service and the food was cold. If it wasn’t for the view and the jacuzzi tub my anniversary weekend would have been a bust at this hotel. The staff were all very pleasant and friendly though!

I knew the rooms were small, that was fine. What i didn’t know is how cheap various features were. Gym, small and sparse. No filtered water, just a carafe with a tap. Bathroom, thin ply toilet paper. Mini bar zip tied, rather cheap. Other various small items that for the price make it not worth it. The staff was great, however when I mentioned how some other lux hotels do little things like fruit and bath salts they fell short. These items were given our last night, a huge bowl of fruit that had mold, and there was also no way it could be eaten the last night. Bath salt were generous. Again, they tried. My entire three nights I wished I booked my original hotel that I stayed prior year, Maybourne. Same rate.
