Ralph

United States, April 2024

7.8/10

My stay at the hotel was enjoyable overall. The rooms were comfortable, although a bit musty, and the bathroom was spacious and well-appointed. However, the towels never seemed to dry due to the high moisture levels. Being close to the night life entrance to the roof club made it a bit noisy at times.

8.4/10

I had a great time at this hotel! The rooftop bar was a plus, even though the view wasn't the best. The service was generally friendly with Michael, the restaurant manager, standing out. The location was excellent, close to the pier and plenty of bars, restaurants, and shops. The dining experience was satisfactory but could have been better considering the type of hotel. Overall, a lovely stay with a few minor drawbacks.
