Image of the Tripadvisor rating I don't recommend this place, I had a bad customer service experience.

I made a reservation and for health reasons I requested a change, and they were not understanding, they did not want to help me in any way, not even charging a difference in rate. The only option was to lose that reservation and of course book somewhere else. and the reservation people were despotic and rude.

This place is pretty solid, but there's a few things you should know, before booking. 1. No one gives you a heads up about the noise in this place. The music at the bar/stage outside is so loud, it's unreal. Major bass. Boom Boom Boom. it's 11pm as I type this...and it's non stop. 2.

This place is pretty solid, but there's a few things you should know, before booking. 1. No one gives you a heads up about the noise in this place. The music at the bar/stage outside is so loud, it's unreal. Major bass. Boom Boom Boom. it's 11pm as I type this...and it's non stop. 2. If you get put in building 2, it's an obstacle course to get to your room 😂 From the front desk you cut through the door behind the desk, through the courtyard, then take a left when you get to the restaurant, then you have to use your key card to access the ice cream shop. Yes, I said ice cream shop. Then you use your key card again to access the elevator to your room because the elevator is in the ice cream shop. The staff is very nice. The hotel is clean. It's old....it needs a facelift. The pool, needs a facelift, as it looks grimey from the outside. Inside, is actually just fine, although small. Location is great! Neighborhood is great! Read less
Image of the Tripadvisor rating Unethical Practices and Unreturned Deposit

Jul 10, 2024 Diogo F

This hotel is a scam; they didn't return my deposit and ignored my contacts. They have unethical practices, like the front desk staff asking for positive TripAdvisor reviews in exchange for perks like late check-out. Avoid this place at all costs if you value your money and honesty. The lack of professionalism and integrity here is appalling.

My wife & i stayed here on our honeymoon and had the BEST time thanks to the great staff and location of the hotel. The room was spotless and the shower was rain-like which was awesome. The restaurant in the lobby was incredible as well, loved it
